Crazy how fast iOS 18 started feeling old after watching iOS 26 betas. Can’t wait for the stable release.

@TheShivrajRoy @isiosstable kid, your brain has less processing power than the cameras I was talking about.

@BetaProfiles When IPSW size doesn’t change, most of the work is likely optimizations.

@markgurman At this stage, most changes are stability, bug fixes, and performance tuning.

iOS 26 Beta 8 has arrived.

@BrandonButch RC is practically knocking on the door now.

@BetaProfiles Beta 8 feels like the wrap-up before the real thing.

@markgurman That actually could be the most natural way people get into AI wearables.

[Arnav @bytewith_a]

@BetaProfiles This beta cycle was pretty stable overall, so RC should be solid.

@UniverseIce Thinning the TFE and managing OCA at the edges is definitely the real challenge here.

@UniverseIce Rounder corners should improve durability against edge chipping.

@BrandonButch Apple is carefully positioning Siri for its next big step.

[Arnav @bytewith_a]

@markgurman The final decision will say a lot about Apple’s AI direction.

[Arnav @bytewith_a]

@markgurman This could change Siri in a big way.

@isiosstable A widget feels like the obvious next step for something like that.

[Arnav @bytewith_a]

@markgurman Interesting timing for Google to double down on AI hardware while keeping phone design pretty safe.

@LeakerApple @LusiRoy8 Feels like another case of form over function, let’s see how it holds up in real use.
