Apple announced in June that the release of iOS 26 would first appear as developer betas as usual, with the first public beta set for July. When it reaches general release it will be on the 2025 releases, iPhone 17 series, as well the iPhone 16 sereis and some earlier models.

A reputable source has suggested that Apple’s iOS 26 public beta could be coming sometime this week. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman stated on social media last week that the public beta was likely to arrive either on or around July 23.

Apple is likely to roll out the public beta of its much-anticipated Apple iOS 26 sometime around July 23, according to a report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The update will give early testers a glimpse of the biggest revamp in iPhone software since iOS 7.
