Hold on to your devices! The highly anticipated iOS 26 public beta is set to drop this week, as revealed by tech insider Mark Gurman from Bloomberg.

In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman hinted that users could expect the beta rollout to kick off around Wednesday, July 23. Apple had previously teased a July release but kept the specifics under wraps.

But that’s not all—this beta bonanza includes public releases for iPadOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26, and even a major AirPods firmware update, making it a significant week for Apple fans. However, don’t get too excited about visionOS 26; it looks like Apple has opted out of providing a beta for that this time around.

Anyone eager to test out these early versions can sign up for the Apple Beta Software Program for free. A friendly reminder: backing up your devices before diving into beta software is crucial, just in case things go awry!

Apple previously lifted the $99 fee for the Apple Developer Program to access developer betas, simplifying the process for many. Still, it’s wise to wait for the public beta release.

Looking further ahead, whispers of iOS 27 are also beginning to circulate. Gurman reports that development of this next iteration is ramping up, with a strong emphasis on features designed for a highly speculated foldable iPhone, rumored to launch in the latter half of next year.

Keep your eyes peeled, Apple enthusiasts! The tech world is buzzing with anticipation, and these developments might just redefine your iOS experience.
