Apple has started rolling out the first betas of iOS 26.5, iPadOS 26.5, macOS Tahoe 26.5, watchOS 26.5, tvOS 26.5, and visionOS 26.5 to developers. These updates come just a week after the official release of iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4, macOS Tahoe 26.4, watchOS 26.4, visionsOS 26.4, and tvOS 26.4, each of which included notable new features and changes.
Initially, iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4, and macOS Tahoe 26.4 were expected to launch with the new revamped Siri with deeper app controls, and more. However, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported earlier that the revamp is facing delays again after internal testing, with key features now expected to slip to iOS 26.5 or iOS 27.
The new betas released today likely include some of the new Apple Intelligence features we’ve been expecting, if not all, although it’s not confirmed yet. We can expect the next betas to be rolled out after two weeks. Users who are registered as a developer on www.developer.apple.com can opt in to receive beta updates by going into Settings>General>Software Update>Beta Updates and selecting Developer Beta.
Do note that these versions are not stable and are meant for testing purposes. How excited are you about these upcoming software updates with useful new features?
