The public beta of iOS 26 is scheduled to launch this week.

 Apple's latest operating system, iOS 26, is expected to be available for public beta testing starting this week.

"All indications are that iOS 26 will enter the public testing phase this week," said Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, who reported the news, according to a Macrumors report, 

Previously, in a social media post, Gurman stated that the public beta of iOS 26 would likely be released around Wednesday (July 23rd). Apple itself has confirmed that the public beta of iOS 26 will be available in July 2025, though without specifying a specific date.
