Apple's iOS 26 public beta is expected to launch this week, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Public betas for iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and HomePod software are also anticipated. A public beta for the next AirPods firmware update is also planned, but visionOS 26 will not have a public beta. Gurman also hints at iOS 27 development focusing on features for a rumored foldable iPhone, expected in late 2024. Users can sign up for the Apple Beta Software Program to participate.
