iOS 26 Beta 4 Update Released For iPhone Users: Any Big Changes?
Last Updated: iOS 26 developer beta 4 has released for iPhone users this week and Apple could be getting ready to bring the public beta soon The wait for the iOS 26 public beta goes on as Apple comes out with the iOS 26 beta 4 version for iPhone users on Tuesday. The company has worked on some of the features that were available with the beta 3 version after seemingly taking feedback from online viewers in the last few weeks. The presence of a beta 4 update does seem strange as Apple was widely tipped to start the iOS 26 public beta program this week but looks like the wait goes on. iOS 26 Beta 4 Update: What iPhone Users Get The iOS 26 beta 4 version has come out and it does seem loaded, at least with the download package size on offer from the company. The most notable change is linked to the Liquid Glass interface that Apple had tweaked with the beta 3 update but the latest version is back to its default mode. Apple is clearly trying out different tones for the UI and these minor alterations suggest the company is still looking for the best mix of transparency and usability. It does feel like a work in progress and hopefully the public beta will give us the best version of the iOS 26 interface. We'll keep an eye out for more features that the developer beta might bring for the users. Apple did say the public beta will be coming in July 2025, and we've less than a week before the month ends, so the clock is ticking, and hopefully the beta 4 version means the iOS 26 public beta is imminent. iOS 26 update will only run on iPhone 11 or higher models this year. Those using the iPhone XS or Xr will get security updates from the company but new feature roll outs are done. If you want the Apple AI features, you need the iPhone 15 Pro or later models to try out Siri AI and other tools that come out next year. view comments First Published: July 23, 2025, 10:32 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

How to avoid roaming charges when abroad
Telecoms experts are urging travellers to check if their mobile plans include international roaming – otherwise they could face charges as high as £5 a day. For a two-week break that comes in at £70 per phone on top of regular mobile charges. For a family of four that's an additional £280 on their monthly mobile phone bill. Experts at are suggesting holidaymakers make use of eSims to bring costs down and make mobile usage overseas affordable. What is an eSim? An eSim is a digital version of a SIM card. It allows users to switch to a local provider without taking out your traditional SIM or changing your number. After landing, mobile users simply change their mobile packing to use the eSim rather than the UK SIM. Telecoms expert Juliet Moran, said: 'Holidaymakers need to be aware of roaming changes both in Europe and further afield and they need to look at ways to mitigate the extortionate cost passed on by phone providers. 'An eSim is the easiest way to do this. They're already built into your phone and allow you to activate an additional mobile data plan. 'In comparison to roaming charges the cost is minimal. To give you an example, on a recent trip to the USA, my provider was going to charge £5 a day. An eSim plan for a month cost just $12. 'The plans will cover all your data needs including maps, social media, emails, and video calls, with no roaming charges or surprise fees when you get back home.' Is an eSim a good idea? Firstly, it's important to check if your phone supports eSIMs. Most modern smartphones (iPhone XS or later, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and up) support eSIM functionality. Check your phone settings or manufacturer website if you're unsure. issues eSIM advice for Brits Choose an eSIM provider Search within the country you are visiting for an eSIM holiday provider. It's quite a competitive market, so it won't take long to find a local supplier offering a good deal on an eSIM. UK Passport Renewal Guide Make sure it's contract free for short term use. Check the daily limits for data, even on an unlimited package. It's easier to find a cheaper provider once you are in the country, so use airport Wi-Fi to get yourself a good local deal. Install the eSIM during your trip This is a fairly straightforward task. You will need to: Download the provider's app or scan a QR code to install the eSIM. You may need another phone to take a photo of the QR code to install it on your own mobile if you don't have a computer or tablet to hand. Or use the manual eSIM installation process. Follow the on-screen instructions to activate it. Set the eSIM as your primary data plan while abroad (you can still receive texts and calls to your UK number if needed). Recommended Reading: Use data wisely Keep an eye on your usage or buy a slightly larger plan to cover streaming and navigation comfortably, as going over those limits can lead to large bills. Switch back easily when you return Once home, just toggle your mobile data settings to return to your UK SIM. The eSIM can usually remain installed for future trips or you can just delete it.
