Apple Operating System Updates: iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and MacOS 26

The latest beta versions of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and MacOS 26 are now available. Apple released the fourth public beta of iOS 26 on Monday, following the release of the third public beta last week. This fourth public beta brings a set of bug fixes, reflecting the updates included in the seventh developer beta of iOS 26, which was released earlier the same day. Apple usually releases major updates for its iOS, WatchOS, MacOS, iPadOS, and other operating systems every September.

The public beta versions, including the current release, offer a valuable opportunity for early adopters and enthusiasts to explore new software features. This period allows Apple to make necessary adjustments and improvements before the official launch in September, which is expected to coincide with the unveiling of the new iPhone 17.

For those who wish to experience the new software, you can easily download the iOS 26 public beta on your iPhone. However, it is advisable not to use your main iPhone for this purpose, and it is highly recommended to back up your important data before installation to ensure its safety.
