Apple releases iOS 26.6.1 beta for iPhone, plus more
Today Apple released beta 5 for iOS 27 and companion updates, but the company also shipped a surprise second wave of betas, for iOS 26.6.1, macOS 26.6.2 and more.
Apple has released the iOS 26.6.1 beta for iPhone, along with other updates, marking a surprise second wave of betas beyond the iOS 27 beta 5. The company typically releases minor point updates without prior notice, but these iOS 26 updates come as betas. These beta releases are available for iOS 26.6.1, iPadOS 26.6.1, and macOS 26.6.2, and are likely to contain security updates and bug fixes. Users of iOS 27 beta 5 will not have access to the iOS 26.6.1 beta; it's only available for devices still running iOS 26.
