The iOS 26 public beta arrived a month and a half after the WWDC 2025, where Apple reviewed its new release for the first time. At this time, Apple released a developer beta for iOS 26, and all different repetitions of this software have caused this publicly available version.
If you are eliminating the download of iOS 26 Public Beta, keep in mind that this is incomplete software. Some features are not yet fully available, and the other can be small. There is also a chance that installing beta can affect your phone’s battery life. Basically, Apple is now presenting the son to ask for an opinion on a new release and connects it with a fine tune before the full launch in the fall.
Once you accept this fact, you are ready to move forward – provided you get a compatible phone. IOS 26 needs iPhone 11 or later the iPhone, and it will also work on 2020 and 2022 models of the iPhone SE. Basically, only according to iOS 18, the phones that are looking for outside are iPhone XR, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. They all arrived in 2018.
