Apple has released new betas for developers to download and test, as we approach the final stretch leading to new iPhones next month. Today’s eighth beta releases come one week after beta 7 releases.
Available today is iOS 26 beta 8 and more. Here’s what’s available to download right now:
iOS 26 beta 7 and beta 8 come in at the same file size, so it appears there are no major changes right now.
Last year iOS 18 hit eight beta versions and then followed Release Candidate builds, which are the final versions before hitting the masses. Let’s see if this beta is the last one or if we’ll see beta 9. Equivalent Public Beta releases should be out soon as well.
Stay tuned for updates on what’s new in this beta 8 release of iOS 26.
