Apple's iOS 26 public beta release date is planned for July
Apple's WWDC is here and with it comes some of the company's biggest operational developments — along with confirmation of when you can check them out in beta. This year's WWDC brings the awaited news of a visual overhaul that is platform-wide, with changes like round icons on the home screen and Control Center. The company has launched its first major redesign since iOS 7, calling it "our broadest design update ever." The new uniform design across all devices includes a new material called liquid glass. This translucent design theme shows up across OSes on widgets, icons and even through a new all-clear mode, available alongside the light and dark modes. Apple has further confirmed the rumors that it's changing the names of its operating systems. So, instead of getting the iOS 19 this fall, it will be the iOS 26, representing Apple's system for the year ahead. The same is true for all other devices' operating systems, like the iPadOS 26, MacOS 26 and so on. However, Apple is sticking with its California-themed names for MacOS, naming the next version Tahoe. WWDC has revealed a range of iOS 26 updates, including typing indicators for group chats and live translations on iMessage, FaceTime and calls, even if the other person doesn't have an iPhone. So, when can you see some of these changes for yourself? Betas for all of Apple's platforms (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS and tvOS) went out on June 9 through the Apple Developer Program, while a public beta should roll our in July through the Apple Beta Software Program.

Apple (AAPL) Unveils 'Liquid Glass' Redesign, But AI Upgrades Leave Wall Street Cold
Apple (AAPL, Financials) introduced a sweeping redesign to its operating systems Monday at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference but the lack of major artificial intelligence updates drew a muted reaction from Wall Street. The company revealed a new design language called Liquid Glass, its most significant visual update since iOS 7 in 2013. The interface will roll out across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro devices starting later this year. Curved elements, translucent buttons, and animated interactions mark a departure from the sharp corners of older versions. Apple said its in-house silicon now allows for richer visuals inspired by the Vision Pro interface. Apple Silicon has become dramatically more powerful, said software chief Craig Federighi. However, the spotlight quickly shifted to what was missing. Apple did not provide a timeline for its long-awaited Siri overhaul powered by Apple Intelligence, originally teased last year but delayed in March. Federighi said only that this work needed more time to meet our high quality bar. UBS analyst David Vogt called Apple's AI announcements incremental, noting many features are already available through competing platforms. He maintains a Hold rating on the stock. Some new AI tools were shown like live phone call translations and ChatGPT image analysis integration but analysts said they fell short of rival offerings from OpenAI or Google. Apple also announced a shift in software version names, moving from iOS 18 to iOS 26, matching the calendar year to simplify updates. The change applies across iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS as well. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
