Like this for a while now. Anyone else? iP14 Pro

don't really like it when they do betas and public releases on same day.

1. it is confusing
2. too much to download in 1 day (for example 2 tahoe's)

for macOS Tahoe 26.6.2 build 25G83 here is the ipsw and full installer

I bypassed Ternus and went directly to Tim Apple. He said connect to WiFi if the update is failing on cellular.
Thanks! And thank Tim when he gets out his spin class. I can't believe I never thought to try the iOS update on WiFi, especially since iPadOS on WiFi updated to 26.6.1 immediately.
