iOS 26: What to expect in the public beta

iOS 26 WWDC25

A major iOS update is on the horizon. iOS 26, unveiled at WWDC 2025, is now in developer beta with a public beta due next week. This is ahead of an anticipated September release to coincide with the iPhone 17 launch.

The standout change in iOS 26 is the Liquid Glass interface – a fluid, glass-like aesthetic introduced during WWDC. Early beta versions received criticism for excessive transparency, with icons difficult to discern. Apple has since scaled back the effect in beta 3, adding darker tints and improved contrast – nicknamed “Frosted Glass” or “Diluted Glass” online.
