iOS 26 developer beta 4 has released for iPhone users this week and Apple could be getting ready to bring the public beta soon
iOS 26 developer beta 4 is also here, is the public beta imminent?
The wait for the iOS 26 public beta goes on as Apple comes out with the iOS 26 beta 4 version for iPhone users on Tuesday. The company has worked on some of the features that were available with the beta 3 version after seemingly taking feedback from online viewers in the last few weeks.
The presence of a beta 4 update does seem strange as Apple was widely tipped to start the iOS 26 public beta program this week but looks like the wait goes on.
iOS 26 Beta 4 Update: What iPhone Users Get
The iOS 26 beta 4 version has come out and it does seem loaded, at least with the download package size on offer from the company. The most notable change is linked to the Liquid Glass interface that Apple had tweaked with the beta 3 update but the latest version is back to its default mode.
Apple is clearly trying out different tones for the UI and these minor alterations suggest the company is still looking for the best mix of transparency and usability. It does feel like a work in progress and hopefully the public beta will give us the best version of the iOS 26 interface. We’ll keep an eye out for more features that the developer beta might bring for the users.
Where Is iOS 26 Public Beta?
iOS 26 developer beta 4 is a surprising move from Apple, especially when we usually see the public beta roll out after the beta 3 update every year. It does seem like Apple wanted to fix the Liquid Glass UI changes on the developer version before making it available to a wider audience with the iOS 26 public beta.
Apple did say the public beta will be coming in July 2025, and we’ve less than a week before the month ends, so the clock is ticking, and hopefully the beta 4 version means the iOS 26 public beta is imminent.
iOS 26 update will only run on iPhone 11 or higher models this year. Those using the iPhone XS or Xr will get security updates from the company but new feature roll outs are done. If you want the Apple AI features, you need the iPhone 15 Pro or later models to try out Siri AI and other tools that come out next year.
