iOS 26.0.2 Update for iPhones Coming Soon

Apple's software engineers continue to internally test iOS 26.0.2, according to MacRumors logs, which have been a reliable indicator of upcoming iOS versions.

iOS 26
iOS 26.0.2 will be a minor update that addresses bugs and/or security vulnerabilities, but we do not know any specific details yet.

The update will likely be released by the end of next week.

Last month, Apple released iOS 26.0.1, which includes the following bug fixes:

- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth may occasionally disconnect on iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17 Pro models
- A small number of iPhone users may be unable to connect to a cellular network after updating to iOS 26
- Photos taken under certain lighting conditions with iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17 Pro models may include unexpected artifacts
- App icons may appear blank after adding a custom tint
- VoiceOver may become disabled for some users after updating to iOS 26

iOS 26.0.1 also patched a security vulnerability.

My #1 request for iOS 27 a button to turn off liquid glass

An eject iOS 26 button would be awesome! Worst UI experience around.

Apple should release it even if it's not ready?
They already did this.

It's called iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and especially macOS 26 Tahoe

Probably doesn’t fix the horrific microstuttering I’m experiencing with every app open and close, app switch, and virtually all other system animations with my new 17 Pro, does it?

has there even been 2 bug fix releases this soon after a phone release?
If you’re asking if there has been this many bug fixes released in this space of time in previous years, the answer is yes.
In fact, compared to some previous years, iOS 26 is actually progressing quite well.
At this time in 2022 we were already on iOS 16.0.3.
iOS 8 had 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 released just days apart from 8.0.
