Apple has released the fourth public beta of iOS 26 and iPadOS 26, available for iPhone and iPad users who have signed up for the public beta. This update mirrors the seventh developer beta release of the pre-release software. The final versions of iOS 26.0 and iPadOS 26.0 are expected in September, with subsequent updates to follow [1].The fourth public beta release comes after the seventh developer beta release of the pre-release software. Apple has been actively testing iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26 Tahoe, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26, with the seventh round of developer betas officially landing on August 11 [2].
Key features of the upcoming iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 include a cross-platform Liquid Glass aesthetic, an updated battery management system, a revised camera app, and enhanced integration with AirPods. iPadOS 26 is particularly focused on productivity with a new Files app, Preview, and window management changes. MacOS 26 Tahoe introduces the Phone app, Clipboard History, and a reworking of Spotlight [2].
The public beta program allows users to test and provide feedback on the new features and improvements before the final release. Apple encourages users to join the public beta program to help shape the future of its operating systems. However, it is important to note that beta software is not intended for primary or mission-critical hardware due to the increased risk of data loss and other issues [2].
The release of the fourth public beta is a significant milestone for Apple as it prepares for the fall launch of its new hardware and software. Investors should keep an eye on the progress of these betas and the final release dates to gauge the potential impact on Apple's financial performance.
