Apple iOS 26 public beta is now available for iPhone users
Apple iOS 26 public beta has finally released on Thursday and the much-awaited new version is now available for a wide range of iPhones. Unlike the developer beta version which needs more work to sign up, the public beta allows you to try out the new iOS update by signing up using your Apple ID.
These beta updates have raised concerns primarily because of how buggy the apps and features are but that is always going to happen when these versions are solely meant for testing purposes. So, if you want a more polished update, the iOS 26 public beta is the one worth trying out.
