iOS 26 Public Beta Release Date: When Apple’s New iPhone Update Goes Live

JUL 20 – iOS 26 public beta will introduce smarter eSIM, improved AirPods integration, and battery life gains, with the launch delayed slightly to ensure stability, Mark Gurman reported.

  • Apple plans to release the iOS 26 public beta in the week of July 21-23, following delays past the usual mid-July timing.
  • This delay likely relates to iOS 26's significant Liquid Glass redesign, leading Apple to match the public beta with the fourth developer beta.
  • IOS 26 introduces new Photos app features that recognize and group concert or sporting event photos, giving users event details like set lists and venues.
  • Apple also enables video streaming to CarPlay screens via AirPlay, limited to when vehicles are parked, supporting both regular and Ultra CarPlay versions.
  • The public beta release will broaden iOS 26 testing before the full release in September alongside iPhone 17, with Apple emphasizing stability and cautious rollout.
