I came to check if anyone has any issues trying out the public beta. I didn't expect the security conversation like which year are we living in? We are still having this debate?

Question: If i use iOS beta 26, can i still use all my payment apps? Any issues at all that I should know of? this will be my first time trying out BETA IOS.

So far reported by tester here, none have issue with the payment app.
Stability wise, HLB advised to use official IOS. Other so far didn't see any feedback unable to use.

Best not to try it out if you heavily depends on phone for any payment.
P/S: you can revert back to official version from beta, which you need to wipe it clean and restore from your backup. Not sure this will need to re-bind the banking app or not which will take 12hours waiting time.

Transfer and approve works (UOB / MBB / CIMB)
I didn’t use QR pay
26 of course. iOS 18 photo apps doesn’t have the switch tab between library and collection.

The said CarPlay bug

from my experience restore needs to rebind again, which is a huge pain in the bum... cimb, hlb, uob still ok. standard chartered is the most pain in the bum need to call them and reverify again, second pain is mbb need to go atm to reactivate

with public beta out now all 3 banks you mentioned above also working fine?
i remember uob previously on ios18 beta will come out with warning saying doesn't support beta version which is quite frustrating

Breaking news!
Apple announced that it is collaborating with Samsung to develop a new chip manufacturing innovation technology that has never been used anywhere else in the world.
This technology will be first launched in the United States, with Samsung Electronics' factory in Austin providing chips to optimize the power consumption and performance of Apple products, including the globally available iPhone.
According to industry insiders and speculations, the chip produced in this batch is a CMOS image sensor (CIS).
Samsung is producing and supplying the next-generation CIS to Apple, breaking Sony's 10-year monopoly.

So any idea when will ios26 release to the public, final version of course, either mid or end september?

It should be released after the latest iPhone is announced. Last year, it was released two days before iPhone 16 started selling.

beta 6 is pretty stable, all the animations are quick & smooth without any stuttering

Yurp, many of videos on tiktok also mentioned it's pretty stable for the beta version

it should be stable by now given the fact that it is to release in few weeks time. 

Can't wait for the final version, thank god it will be available in few weeks time 😎🔥
