iOS 26 Beta 7 and iOS 26 Public Beta 4 have been out for a few days and iOS 18.6.2 has been out a day or so. How are they for you? Do you have any bugs or issues that have been resolved? Also, how is battery life now for you? If you comment below, please include the device you are using and the version you are using on it.

I’m currently running iOS 18.6.2 on my iPhone 14 so the experience has been quite solid on my end, no complaints whatsoever it’s very smooth for me

Running iOS 26 Developer Beta 7 on my iPhone 15 Pro and it has been pretty solid. Through all the iOS 26 betas I have had far less issues than in years past. Most notably my phone doesn’t get hot and battery life is better than usual for beta updates. In my experience so far it seems that Apple is finally getting things right with iOS!

iOS 26 beta 7 feels amazing from every perspective. Liquid Glass is now almost everywhere, and battery life has noticeably improved. There are still a few tweaks needed here and there, but overall I’m really enjoying it.

I’m on iOS 26 public beta 4 I like it so far but I wish the battery life wouldn’t decline so fast hopefully we get better results soon with the next update or when the official release of iOS 26 comes

I’m running iOS 26 Developer Beta 7 on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. So far it’s been great, no stutters, lag, extreme heat, etc. With it being an A build it looks like Apple has finally fixed a lot with iOS 26. Looking forward to beta 8 along with the RC!

It’s still looking good on iOS 18.6.2 on my iPhone 12. Battery has improved significantly the same as it was before

iOS 26 B7 on 15 PM. The only thing I’m noticing is sometimes it struggles to properly regulate the screen brightness in bright lighting conditions. Other than that it’s been dandy.

iOS 26 PB4 is pretty smooth on my iPhone 15 PM, but there are some bugs that I’ve noticed - laggy animation when swiping the screen after unlocking it, overheating problem (not often but still noticeable). However the battery holds a lot better, honestly would say that in my case (91% capacity) it got even better than it was on 18.6. Also the over saturated screenshot bug has been fixed on PB4

I’ve downgraded to an IPhone XS into the 17 series is released and hence, I can’t use iOS 26 BETA for now. I’m sad that the last beautiful iPhone wouldn’t get the latest updates :(

iOS 26 dev beta 7, it’s gotten to the point where I forget sometimes I’m even using a beta version, that’s how nicely it’s been running for me. Battery has been great also. iPhone 12 Pro Max.

I just updated from iOS 18 to iOS 26 pb4 on my 15 pro max and the performance is mostly good some stutters and heat but the biggest issue is battery drain

16P - It’s been very stable for a beta. I’ve only encountered some visual bugs with app icons and a small lagged animation when expanding folders in the App Library. Great battery life - I’m hopeful that this will be one of the most stable iOS releases.

Its a couple of days now running iOS 18.6.2 on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Battery health and battery life are both excellent. The original battery was replaced just over 6 months ago. Browsing is seamlessly smooth apps open and close without any latency. No network connectivity or Bluetooth connection issues with my AirPods Pro 2. No overheating issues during OS update or apps updates. Everything is working fine.

I’m on 26 PB4 and I could not imagine going back to iOS 18, looks and feels ancient by comparison and honestly it already did before I tried 26

Running iOS 26 Beta 7 on my iPhone 15 Pro Max and the only issue I’m noticing is when using screen recording, everything is a lag and stutter fest. Opening and closing applications, swiping between Home Screen pages, etc, but, when not using screen recording, everything is buttery smooth. Apple definitely needs to fix the screen recording bug. Other than that, beta 7 has been really good! Battery life is decent as well.
