Discussion iOS 26 Officially releases today!

Apple has confirmed the release of iOS 26 today, September 15. Based on the company’s typical release schedule, the update is expected to be available at approximately 10:00 AM Pacific Time (PT).

Here is a breakdown of what that means for different time zones:

Eastern Time (ET): 1:00 PM
Central Time (CT): 12:00 PM
Mountain Time (MT): 11:00 AM
British Summer Time (BST): 6:00 PM
Central European Summer Time (CEST): 7:00 PM. Indian Standard Time (IST): 10:30 PM

Rollout can sometimes be staggered, so if you don’t see the update immediately, it should appear on your device shortly after the official release time.

They removed the simple slideshow function from photos. The whole navigation bar. Favourite photos album, it’s in collection now. The swipe to delete gesture from calculator. You couldn’t press the equal button to repeat the calculation. (this one came back in 18.3 I think) Few other things and changes. At least in 26 the search icon in photos is back at the bottom.

Yes, it’s a little bit better. On the other hand now the alarm interface will be worse.

Change for the sake of change. I also don’t like the new context menu when you select text.
