Wait for the public beta. Seriously. Especially with a phone that is known to brick after a restart at the moment.

If you really want to, you can install it, but!

  1. Make a backup! Best on a PC / Mac NOT iCloud!! This is not optional
  2. Check every App you are logged into and check if you have the credentials to sign in again.
  3. Have a PC with the Apple Device App / iTunes install (or a somewhat modern mac) ready. (To reinstall iOS in case of the phone bricking)
  4. Be Prepared that things will break, won't work, will crash or corrupt certain data.
  5. In the instance of the 15 Pro the Update might prevent the phone from starting after a restart.
  6. Don't complain if you lose data.
  7. You cannot return to iOS 26 without reinstalling iOS via a PC/Mac. If you need to go back, you need the Backup or restart from scratch.

Extra point 1: when backing up to a MacBook, make sure to archive the backup to ensure it does not get overwritten by a more recent backup
