Apple Unveils iOS 26 Release Date, Public Betas for Most Devices
Apple has announced the upcoming release of its latest operating system updates. The official launch of iOS 18 is set for September 15, 2026, with public betas available for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch users. However, Apple Vision Pro owners will have to wait for the public beta of visionOS 18.
The new updates, featuring Apple's Liquid Glass design ethos, are designed to provide seamless interaction across Apple devices. iPhone owners can download the iOS 18 public beta, while iPad users can access iPadOS 18. Mac users can check out the macOS Tahoe public beta, and Apple TV users can test-drive tvOS 18. Watch wearers can experience watchOS 18. Official releases of the updates are expected in mid-September, with iOS 18's official release scheduled for September 15, 2026. However, exact dates for the beta releases of iPadOS 18, macOS Tahoe, watchOS 18, and tvOS 18 are not specified.
Apple's public betas allow users to test and provide feedback on the new operating systems before their official release. With the exception of visionOS 18, public betas are available for all upcoming Apple operating system updates.
