Hold onto your smartphones, iPhone users! Today marks the monumental launch of iOS 26, Apple’s most significant redesign since iOS 7. This highly anticipated software update promises a myriad of new features and improvements that fans have been eagerly awaiting.

Apple officially announced the iOS 26 rollout during last week’s iPhone event, and it’s set to hit devices globally today, Monday, September 15. Historical trends suggest you can expect the update to drop around 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, translating to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

To help you track when iOS 26 becomes available, we’ve put together a list of time zone conversions for various countries. Keep in mind that schedules may vary slightly, and there's always a chance of delays as Apple ramps up its server capacity.

Get Your Devices Ready!

Before diving into the update, ensure your device is fully charged and connected to Wi-Fi. To check for the new update, navigate to Settings ➔ General ➔ Software Update. If you're not in a rush, simply wait for iOS 26 to arrive the next time you connect your iPhone to your computer.
