### iOS 26.2 Updated RC Released for Developers and Public Beta Testers
The launch of iOS 26.2 is expected to occur within the week, though today seems improbable for the rollout. Apple has recently delivered a second Release Candidate (RC) version of iOS 26.2 for developers and public beta testers.
Earlier today, a trusted source disclosed two build numbers for iOS 26.2. One of these aligned with the previous RC, while the other pertains to the newly issued RC from Apple.
The newly released RC version of iOS 26.2 is now accessible, marked by the build number **23C54**. The previous RC carried the label **23C52**.
Even though there is anticipation for an iOS 26.2 launch this week, the release of this new RC indicates that a rollout today is improbable. When Apple provides an RC for beta testers, it usually intends for that version to be the final software build distributed to all users. However, it is common for the company to release revised RC builds after a few days of evaluation, as demonstrated recently with tvOS 26.2.
Distributing the software among beta testers can reveal significant bugs that require attention. As a result, the updated RC build is currently available for iPhone users.
If the new RC does not present any new concerns, iOS 26.2 is forecasted to be rolled out to all users in the upcoming days.
