iOS 26 Public Beta Launch: Key Features, Eligibility, and What’s New

The iOS 26 public beta arrived on Wednesday, July 23, and we’re thrilled to explore what it offers iPhone users. Apple dropped this beta right after the fourth developer betas of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 landed on Tuesday, July 22. It’s a bit later than the usual mid-July rollout, but this delay ensures a smoother experience. With a stunning “Liquid Glass” design and powerful Apple Intelligence features, iOS 26 promises to transform how we use our iPhones.
