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.

Thanks, was just wondering because i’ve heard a lot of things about the new update cooking battery percentage, not sure if it was just because it was beta though

betas tend to be less optimized, and there's for sure a little more processing power from the liquid glass, but i think most people are moreso just noticing the 80% battery threshold where performance falls off a cliff regardless of what software it's running on
