iOS 26 brings many major changes.

According to Apple, iOS 26 “brings a stunning new design, powerful Apple Intelligence capabilities, more modern connectivity in the Phone and Messages apps, and a host of exciting updates to CarPlay, Apple Music, Maps, and Wallet.”

Throughout the testing process, iOS 26 received several refinements:

Beta 2 improves readability in the Control Center, reorganizes the Safari menu, and adds new accessibility options.

Beta 3 adds an opaque effect to the tab bar and introduces new wallpapers.

Beta 4 brings back notification summaries for news and entertainment apps.

Beta 5 addresses user feedback issues by restoring the Select button in Mail and customizing the swipe direction of the classic Camera app.

Beta 6 introduces new ringtones and faster animation effects.

Beta 7 adds a draft feature to Messages.

Now, beta 9 is considered the final refined version, and may be equivalent to the iOS 26 public beta 6 in the near future.

Which devices support iOS 26?

iOS 26 will run on the iPhone SE (2nd generation) and iPhone 11 models and later. Meanwhile, the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max remain on iOS 18 and cannot be upgraded to iOS 26.

Specifically, features related to Apple Intelligence require more powerful hardware and are only available on the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the entire iPhone 16 lineup. Users of older iPhone models will still receive security updates, but will not be able to experience the full range of new features.

With numerous improvements in design, user experience, and especially Apple Intelligence, iOS 26 promises to bring significant changes to iPhone users. The official release is expected to appear at Apple's event in mid-September 2025.
