### iOS 26.2’s Release Approaches: Revealed Build Numbers Suggest Launch
The much-anticipated debut of iOS 26.2 for iPhone seems to be on the horizon, potentially happening today. This conjecture gains traction from a credible leaker who has revealed the build numbers linked to the impending release.
#### Revealed Build Numbers Suggest iOS 26.2 is Ready for Launch
Recently, Apple issued the Release Candidate (RC) version of iOS 26.2 to beta testers. The RC typically represents the final iteration of a software update prior to its public release, indicating that the timing of this rollout hints at an upcoming public launch.
Heightening the anticipation, an anonymous leaker on X, renowned for accurately forecasting iOS software launches beforehand, has shared build numbers for both iOS and iPadOS 26.2. The leaker has pointed out build numbers **23C52** and **23C54** as the official builds for the forthcoming software.
Notably, the RC version released last week also features the build number 23C52. The rationale behind the two differing build numbers is not clear, but it could be that one is allocated for particular devices. For example, iPhone and iPad models with C1 or C1X modems may receive a distinct build.
For those who are anxiously awaiting the public rollout of iOS 26.2, which is set to introduce a variety of new features, the wait is anticipated to be over very soon.
