iOS 26 Public Beta Version Released This Week

-

According to foreign media reports, Apple's first public beta of iOS 26 is expected to be released this week, and the specific time may be around July 23 (Wednesday). Foreign media said: "All signs indicate that iOS 26 should enter the public beta stage this week." Previously, Apple has announced that the public beta of iOS 26 will be launched in July, but no specific date was provided. If you are waiting for the beta of iOS 26 and need to make sure your device is in good condition before upgrading, please follow China Phonefix.


In addition to iOS 26, the first public beta versions of iPadOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26, and HomePod software 26 will also be released simultaneously. Apple also plans to provide the first public beta of its next-generation AirPods firmware update. However, according to Apple's beta website, visionOS 26 will not provide a public beta.

Hidden features of iOS 26:
Customized alarm delay
The default snooze time of iPhone was 9 minutes in the past, but iOS 26 allows users to freely set it between 1 and 15 minutes, allowing users to personalize it according to their own work and rest habits.

Remote control camera function of AirPods
iOS 26 adds support for starting iPhone camera to record video through the touch bar of AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4, bringing greater flexibility to shooting.
Journal application upgrade
Not only expanded to iPad and Mac platforms, but also added multiple diary management functions. Users can create independent notes for different life scenes, and support mixed text and picture typesetting and map positioning to view the recorded location.

AirPods automatically pause playback
For users wearing AirPods, iOS 26 also brings an automatic pause playback function. When the system detects that the user falls asleep, AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 will automatically stop media playback to avoid affecting sleep quality.

Adaptive Power mode
When battery consumption is abnormal, automatically adjust performance, such as slightly reducing screen brightness or extending the execution time of some tasks to extend battery life.

Apple Music Collection Pinning
Music lovers can enjoy the Apple Music Collection Pinning feature, where users can pin their favorite songs, albums, artists or radio stations to the top of the library list and set the playback behavior after clicking, such as direct play or random play.

Currently, all updates are available in developer beta. Although Apple has cancelled the $99 annual developer program membership fee requirement a few years ago, you still need a developer account to get the developer beta. From a technical perspective, Phonefix still recommends that ordinary users wait for the public beta to be released.

It is worth mentioning that foreign media have previously speculated based on the developer beta rhythm that the iOS 26 public beta is expected to be released this week, that is, from July 14th to 20th. But from all indications, the possibility of next week seems to be greater. In terms of adaptability, the iOS 26 public beta will support iPhone 11 and above models. The iPhone XS series and iPhone XR cannot be upgraded to iOS 26 due to hardware reasons.
Anyone can sign up for the Apple Beta Software Program for free and get access to these public betas. But foreign media strongly recommends that users back up their devices before installing beta software to prevent problems. Currently, all updates are available in developer beta, but testers still need to have an Apple developer account. However, ordinary users are better off waiting for the public beta to be released.

The above are the main updates of iOS 26, which bring a series of practical and personalized features. Phonefix will continue to provide you with the latest technology trends, system updates, and a series of professional repair tools to help you tackle any device issues. Please stay tuned, we will present you with more exciting content and reliable solutions as soon as possible!
