The first public version iOS 26 is expected to arrive this week, according to Bloombergis Mark Gurman.
“All indications are that iOS 26 should enter the public beta phase next week,” said Gurman, in his Rise Newsletter today.
In an article on social networks last week, Gurman said that the public beta version iOS 26 would probably be published on Wednesday July 23 or around.
Apple previously announced that a public beta version of iOS 26 would be available in July, but that it did not provide a more specific time.
The first public beta of iPados 26, MacOS 26, TVOS 26, Watchos 26 and HomePod Software 26 should be published alongside the public beta version IOS 26, and Apple also plans to offer a public beta version of its next big update of the AirPods firmware for the first time. Apple does not plan to offer a public beta version Visionos 26, according to its beta website.
Anyone can register to be a member of Deep of Apple Beta softwarefree of charge, and have access to public beta for tests. As always, we strongly recommend that you save your devices before installing beta software in case of problems.
All updates are already available in the beta developer. A few years ago, Apple abandoned the obligation to pay $ 99 a year for membership in the Apple developer program in order to access the developer’s BETAS, but you must always have an Apple developer account. Technically, however, the public should wait for public beta.
For the future, the first rumor IOS 27 has surfaced.
According to Gurman, Apple will officially launch the development of iOS 27 soon, and the company plans to prioritize the software functionalities that are adapted to the foldable iPhone with long rumors. This device should be launched in the second half of next year.
