iOS 26, Public Beta
Digest more
Apple has dropped the iOS 26 developer beta 4 and it brings back the "glass" in Liquid Glass along with other major changes.
At WWDC, Apple officially unveiled iOS 26, marking the most significant iPhone interface redesign since iOS 7 with its new Liquid Glass aesthetic and overhauled native apps for a more unified user experience.
Apple launches iOS 26 beta 4 for developers with updates to Liquid Glass and AI notification summaries. A public beta is expected later this week.
OS 26 with liquid glass design is getting a public beta version that will be accessible by the masses. However, if you have an iPhone older than iPhone 11 then the update will not be available for you.
Apple also already released an iOS 26 beta geared toward developers. To get started, you need an iPhone 11 or newer running iOS 16.5 or later and an Apple ID used in the Apple Developer Program. ZDNET's guide provides step-by-step instructions on downloading the beta.
