Has anyone updated their iPhone to iOS 26.2 yet? Is this version update finally working, or is the firmware still full of bugs and lags?
iPhone 12 mini, iOS 18
i've updated my iphone17pro and ipad m2 pro and have experienced no issues so far but nor did i with the earlier versions
Good to hear. I had to restore my iPhone 12 mini to iOS 18.6.2 after updating to iOS 26, because it was so full of bugs and lags. Sadly, I couldn’t do the same thing with my Apple TV 4K 2nd gen..
So, now I am being very cautious, because restoring to iOS 18 isn’t even an option anymore.
It destroyed my iPhone 15. Support not helpful.
26.2 update destroyed my iphone 15. Return key doesn't work. phone doesn't shut down. Volume stuck at very low level and volume controls don't n't work. Sound limit isn't on so it's not that. Not connected to bluetooth.
Support chat ran diagnostics then disconnected after telling me everything checked out fine. WTH with this update?

iOS26.2 Version Bugs:
Nothing for me. Though, many might be stuck in a Boot Loop, which commonly occurs where you go about installing an update, and it stall while in the process: How to Fix an iPhone in a Boot Loop - Apple Community
Was your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.
I have been updating my devices ever since I bought my first device in 2009. iPhone 3Gs, 4S, 5, 6, SE (1st Gen), 7, 8 and iPhone 12 Pro, iPad Pro, iPhone 13, Macbook Air 2019, MacBook Pro 16"
I never had any issues with any iOS, iPadOS, or macOS updates to date.
I would personally recommend everyone update their devices instead of listening to rumors from people who may not have kept their devices free from any spurious software.
iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware if it is updated to the latest iOS/iPadOS unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious software or unauthorized apps directly from the internet and installed them on your device or/and have Jailbroken.
iOS updates generally aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. Issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.
This seems purely coincidental, so please check the settings on your device.

My wife’s iPhone 13 and my 16 both behaving well. I’m not a fan of the new liquid display but thats only my own opinion! Wife says she’s pleased with the iPad update too!
What of battery drain?
No issues here with any of the releases, including 26.2.
No change in battery performance either.
Sorry for late reply - no problems with battery - even the 13 is fine!
using IPhone 15 Pro. still there is an issue with IOS26.2. Cell phone crash constantly.
How many hours do you use the iPhone 13 before recharging it because mine is 4 hours and the battery health is 95%
Battery health is 90% and needs charging by end of day but my wife uses hers more than I do but tends not to mess around with default settings much.
I’m having problem with iPhone 15 pro after update. Lock Screen freezes frequently.
Is iOS 26.2 version update working?
