📱 iOS 26公测版即将发布，预计在本周上线，此前在WWDC 2025上已公布Liquid Glass设计、实时翻译及CarPlay和Messages的更新。

🗓️ iOS 26的发布时间节点符合苹果以往的更新规律，此前iOS 18、17、16、15和14均在六月下旬或七月发布。

💻 首批公测将包含iOS 26、iPadOS 26、macOS 26、tvOS 26、watchOS 26、HomePod软件26及AirPods固件更新，覆盖苹果主要设备生态。

✅ 用户可通过加入免费的Apple Beta Software Program来获取iOS 26公测版，并能向Apple反馈测试过程中发现的Bug。

⚠️ iOS 26并非支持所有iPhone型号，仅限于iPhone SE（第二代及更新机型）以及iPhone 11系列、12系列、13系列、14系列、15系列和16系列的部分型号。

iOS 26 has the potential to be a pretty cool upgrade, complete with a Liquid Glass design, live translations, and updates to CarPlay and Messages, which we heard about in early June at WWDC 2025. It looks like we're finally about to get access to it.

Apple said iOS 26 public beta would be available in July, according to MacRumors, and Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman posted last week that it would likely be released around today — on Wednesday, July 23. And today, in his Power On newsletter, Gurman said that "iOS 26 should go into the public beta phase this coming week."

It makes sense that we'd get iOS 26 soon. After all, previous iOS upgrades were also released in late June or July — iOS 18 was released on July 15, iOS 17 was released on July 12, iOS 16 was released on July 11, iOS 15 was released on June 30, and iOS 14 was released on July 9, according to MacRumors.

MacRumors reported that the first public betas released at once will include the iOS 26 public beta and iPadOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26, HomePod software 26, and the AirPods firmware update.

In order to access the update, you'll need to be a member of the Apple Beta Software Program. The program is free and anyone can become a member. Keep in mind, these features will be in beta — meaning they might be a bit buggy. As a member of the Apple Beta Software Program, users can provide feedback to Apple about those bugs.

As a reminder, iOS 26 isn't available for all iPhones. You'll need to have the iPhone SE (second generation and beyond only), the iPhone 11, Pro, and Pro Max, the iPhone 12, Mini, Pro, and Pro Max, the iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, and Pro Max, the iPhone 14, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max, the iPhone 15, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max, the iPhone 16, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max, or the iPhone 16e.

If you're a developer, these features are already available for you. As Mashable previously reported, Apple has a free tier of its Developer Program, which allows some users to access those beta features even earlier.
