iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe Public Betas Launching in July

Apple plans to release public betas of its new software updates, including iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26, next month in July. This rollout follows developer beta testing for feature refinement. Apple has consistently released public betas in July, allowing time for initial developer feedback and adjustments. Based on past release dates, the public beta is likely to arrive around mid-July. The release usually follows the second or third developer beta, depending on necessary fixes. Apple will also provide public betas for HomePod Software 26 and AirPods firmware. A beta firmware update option may be available, according to Apple's beta website. However, Apple does not intend to offer a visionOS public beta, limiting it to developers only. The updates promise enhancements and refinements across Apple's ecosystem.
