New rumors suggest iOS beta testers could get their hands on the next iPhone operating system and new features like Liquid Glass in a few days.

Apple announced in June that the release of iOS 26 would first appear as developer betas as usual, with the first public beta set for July. When it reaches general release it will be on the 2025 releases, iPhone 17 series, as well the iPhone 16 series and plenty of much earlier models.

– If you go ahead and install the iOS 26 public beta on your main device, then be sure to back up your phone’s data first. – Beta builds can have some privacy or security weaknesses, so try to avoid entering sensitive personal information while using it.

Apple said iOS 26 public beta would be available in July, according to MacRumors, and Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman posted last week that it would likely be released around today — on Wednesday, July 23. And today, in his Power On newsletter, Gurman said that "iOS 26 should go into the public beta phase this coming week."

It seems that Apple could be bringing a new health tracking feature to the Apple Watch in the form of a sleep score.

Apple has reportedly been working on a HomePod with a screen for years, and a new leak from iOS 26 seems to confirm its existence.
