Developer beta 3 really messed Safari up for me on my M2 iPad Pro. Lines missing from tabs. Jumps from day/night mode. Really a mess. Beta 2 was fine.

I just installed a Hamilton CarPlay conversion kit in my ‘16 Toyota 4Runner … Pixel 8a / Android 16 / Android Auto work flawlessly (my backup phone) … while my primary phone, an iPhone 15PM / iOS 26.0.1 / CarPlay won’t hold a stable connection for more than 20 seconds

Whoever regression tested iOS 26 w/carplay integration at iApple needs to be iFired

Does it still look and function as awful as 26.0.1?
