I Was Right Yet Again: iOS 26 Goes Live Today

Apple announced iOS 26 at its global conference for developers in June, but he said at the time that he would publish the general public update this fall. So I examined Apple events in September and iOS versions earlier to predict when the company publishes iOS 26.

And I was right. Apple announced that iOS 26 will be published as free update on Monday. Apple generally publishes updates around 10:00 a.m. PT (1 p.m. HE), which means that your iPhone can obtain new features such as a liquid glass design, calls for calls and calls and calls and calls and calls and calls and calls and calls and calls. New ringtones In a few hours.

Do not forget, other people will also download the update, so it could download slowly for you. The company announced the version of the software update on September 9, when it presented the new iPhone 17,, 17 pro and the slim Air iPhone.

Here is how I predicted the release date of iOS 26 before Apple even announced it.

Apple organized its event “impressed” on Tuesday September 9, the day I predicted it. Over the past 10 years, Apple has only held its event in September between September 7 and 14, generally Tuesday (six times), with a few Wednesdays (three times) and a Monday.

We generally do not have to wait long after the Apple event in September for iOS updates to be published.

How did I properly predict the iOS 26 version?

Apple generally does not announce the release of iOS versions, but it remains near a script from year to year. This means that you too can do acts of apple divination, if you understand the history of its autumn events and iOS versions.

Apple organized its event “impressed” on Tuesday September 9, the same day that I predicted that the company would do it. After most Apple’s events in September, the company publishes the next iOS in a week. In 2024, for example, Apple’s event took place on September 9 and iOS 18 was released seven days later, on September 16.

There was only a year only in the last decade when it took more than a week for Apple to publish the next iOS version – 2019. Even then, Apple has always published the next iOS nine day version after its September event.

The number of days between Apple’s September event and the release of the next iOS version also tends – slightly – down in the last decade. In 2015, Apple released iOS 9 on September 16, seven days after the company’s September event, and in 2022, Apple published iOS 16 on September 12, five days after the company’s September 7 event.

In the same period, Apple published six iOS versions in the week following the event. The mathematics therefore indicated to me iOS 26 released six or seven days after its event on September 9.

Apple also published the last four iOS versions on Monday following its events in September. This could therefore be the new standard and Apple will publish all future iOS versions on Monday after its September event. It is therefore very likely that Apple will release iOS 26 on Monday.

Great, then when Apple is released again iOS 26?

Perhaps this explanation eliminates part of the mysticism of my prediction, but this is how I found on Monday September 15 on the release date of iOS 26. Apple confirmed it shortly after its event “AWE Droping” on September 9.
