so yeah I’ve decided to keep iOS 18.5 on my main iPhone (16) because I want to keep it stable and with the best battery in the long run since I rely on this a lot, but I’ve installed it on my SE 2! (as you’ve seen from my other posts)
Alright… it’s installed the #iOS26 public beta 1! Expecting lag for like an hour, but I’ll report from then on! #ios #iphone https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:4hawmtgzjx3vclfyphbhfn7v&cid=bafkreia4fifcbzpoxdu7cphzacidmmbqef73dvovlmpxj7uusjx2scks5e https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:4hawmtgzjx3vclfyphbhfn7v&cid=bafkreia5khngtqc6touygfbbveumel2xcdzk7m57ku2fhtypwrn3t2zeda

interestingly from the same context (currently running iOS 18.5, going to iOS 26 Public Beta 1) the SE 2 only sees the update as 8GB, literally half what my iPhone 16 was showing first screenshot from the SE, second from the 16 https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:4hawmtgzjx3vclfyphbhfn7v&cid=bafkreibtdij7jxeoqihnnob54aoh6mzjxyyuebmcti5l6ypr6ltza34kqe https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:4hawmtgzjx3vclfyphbhfn7v&cid=bafkreibbkrtg236d7vkv5mm7uqq4gonvlyxgksvzdhuc7bcrmyfbuorksa
Considering I’m going to Italy in about a week idk if I should install iOS 26 on my main phone since I want the best battery life, but ima def go ahead and install the 26 Public beta on my SE 2 again.. been like a month since I’ve posted updates on what that’s like on the betas.
Whoa… I checked the box for the “iOS 26 Public Beta” in settings (currently on #iOS 18.5) and I’m seeing a size of nearly 17GB to update to from an iPhone 16! Should I do it tho?? I’m so unsure, ig I could always go back 😭 https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:4hawmtgzjx3vclfyphbhfn7v&cid=bafkreif2if6r7q5lv7zpcnr3twon7alp25qhuu4gnse7yglo67hvfjnqgi
I’m assuming the #iOS26 Public Beta is just the same build as the iOS 26 Dev. Beta 4, but I’d still be curious to hear how people have found it runs on their devices.. I’ve got a base 16 still with 100% BH so unsure what to do 😭
OOOH PUBLIC BETA HAS ME MORE TEMPTED #ios26
it’s cool that they’re shipping it with a mini and nano model available too 👌 RE:
