The iOS 26 public beta is currently available, while the developer beta was released in June 2025. Apple typically releases the final version in September. Compatible devices include iPhone 11 and newer, as the iPhone XR and XS are no longer supported. To download the beta, ensure the device is on iOS 16.5 and part of the Apple Beta Software Program. Users should back up their devices before installation due to potential bugs in beta versions and can provide feedback through the Feedback Assistant app.
To download the iOS 26 public beta version, make sure your device runs iOS 16.5 and is used with an Apple ID enrolled in the Apple Beta Software Program.
Apple removed the iPhone XR and XS from its list of supported devices with iOS 26, so any iPhone 11 or newer is compatible with the new operating system, including the iPhone SE.
Before you download a beta version of an operating system, back up your device and personal information. Beta versions will likely have bugs and glitches.
