iOS 26 Public Beta 1 OTA Release Date Expectation

Apple has previously said that the first public beta release will come in July, and we expect that it will be released around the same time that the third developer beta is made available. If that’s the case, we expect that the first public beta and iOS 26 beta 3 to be made available for download on or around Monday, July 7, 2025.
