What to Know About Features and Release

The iOS 26 update is more than just a number. It introduces a major design change with a new "Liquid Glass" look and adds a suite of "Apple Intelligence" features. It's important to know, however, that the most demanding AI features will only work on the iPhone 15 Pro and the new iPhone 16 models.


As for when you can get it, Apple is sticking to its usual schedule. The update is free and will arrive for everyone this fall, likely in September. For those who like to test things early, a developer beta is available now. A public beta will be available sometime in July, though we generally recommend most people wait for the final, stable release.

When the time comes, you'll be able to update by going to Settings > General > Software Update on your iPhone.
