Finally! The update arrived in a massive 15.32 GB for my 15 Pro. Hopefully, this fixes the excessive battery drain.
The incremental file sizes shown on the update screen are mostly broken since iOS 18.
Don’t think it’s that large when you coming from 26.5.1
And as always… such a little point update contains bugfixes and security update and mostly likely won’t change anything significantly in terms of the battery life.

The release notes for 26.5.2 are jaw dropping—- endless WebKit fixes for Safari vulnerabilities.

Good to see these security updates. Might wait for a few days before updating or even wait till 26.6 is released.

Did they wake up and correct the mistake of adding ads in Apple Maps?
No? Then never mind. 🤣
It is just a matter of time when I will give up and delete the Apple Maps app.
What ad-free maps app will you replace it with?
