An important turning point in the development of the operating system has been entered, as Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has disclosed that Apple's iOS 26 is about to go into the public beta stage.
Gurman claims that there are "indications" that the public beta release will take place this week, giving developers and enthusiasts a chance to test out the newest features.
Additionally, it is anticipated that iOS 27 development will start shortly, emphasising Apple's continuous attempts to innovate and enhance its operating system.
Apple debuted iOS 26 at WWDC 2025 on June 9, sparking a lot of interest among tech enthusiasts.
Since then, a number of developer beta updates have been released by the company to improve the operating system.
But many people have been looking forward to the public beta build, which will soon be released.
The Liquid Glass UI is one of the biggest improvements in iOS 26.
It is anticipated that this redesign will completely change the way people interact with Apple products, making them more visually appealing and intuitive.
Although the complexity of this feature may have contributed to the public beta's delayed release, Gurman guarantees that the OS's final build won't be delayed.
How to install the Public Beta
By following these instructions, iPhone users with compatible devices can download and install the public beta when it becomes available:
- Go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates.
- Select the public beta of iOS 26.
- Click "Download and Install" to get a firsthand look at the new features.
Moreover, the reporter disclosed some information regarding iOS 27, which is anticipated to replace iOS 26 in the upcoming year. It is anticipated that the OS's development will soon begin formally.
According to the report, it may include some features designed to improve the functionality of Apple's first-ever foldable iPhone, which may also be released next year, though specifics are still being kept under wraps.
