Apple has announced that a public beta of iOS 26 will be available in July, with a specific release date expected around Wednesday, July 23. This information comes from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, indicating that the public betas for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26, HomePod Software 26, and AirPods Firmware will be launched next week.
However, there will not be a public beta for visionOS 26. Users can join the Apple Beta Software Program for free, allowing them access to the public betas for testing purposes.
Before installing any beta software, it is highly recommended that users back up their devices to avoid potential issues. Currently, all of these updates are available in developer beta form.
Notably, Apple has removed the $99 annual fee for accessing developer betas, yet an Apple Developer account is still necessary to download them. In addition to the anticipated updates, earlier this year, YouTuber Jon Prosser revealed what he claimed were early renderings of iOS 19, later confirmed as iOS 26 during Apple’s WWDC presentation in June.
Prosser showcased a redesigned Camera app featuring a streamlined button layout for easier navigation between photo and video modes. As we approach the release of the iPhone 17 series in September, speculations regarding the devices’ features and color options are increasing.
Recent reports hint at a potentially extensive range of colors for the upcoming iPhone 17 models, and there are rumors suggesting significant changes across the entire series, including updates to the Dynamic Island interface. Overall, the updates and new devices anticipated from Apple are generating considerable excitement in the tech community as we move further into 2025.
