As usual, there may be a *TEMPORARY* hit on the battery life and heat
as the new OS runs through initialising various things like indexing in
the background.

Yep, always wait for at least the ".1" release and leave the "gamma
testing" to other guinea pigs. :-)

That's good thinking with pretty much any major release of any piece of software upon which you rely.

Technically you could test iOS on a VM, but you'd need to find a
properly working iPhone emulator. There are a few around, but I don't
know how good or bad any of them are.

I cross-posted the original message because I upgraded both an iPad and a

There was no confusion, except for those who didn't see the newsgoups
it was posted to and then someone took the iPhone newsgroup out again.

BTW, there is a separate iPad newsgroup: comp.mobile.ipad

That´s why people like Paul and me test it for people like you :-)

Over here I updated an iPhone SE2, an iPad Air 2022 and a MacBook Air M2 to
OS 26 and everything is working fine.

Your cross-post, here, caused me to download the upgrade to all my

I like that iOS and MacOS now reflect the year they are meant to
service instead of arcane numbers. At least, that's what I think.

It should be the year the OS is *released* (same with car models), but
at least proper numbers are still better than the ridiculous code names
that MacOS continue to use.
