Apple is reportedly aiming for a July 23rd public release of the iOS 26 beta, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. This is later than usual; typically, the public beta launches a week after beta 3, which debuted on July 7th. The delay has sparked speculation, with possibilities including a forthcoming developer beta 4 or a revised beta 3 before the public release. The timeframe for the iOS 26 public beta is rapidly closing.
