Apple today released iOS 26 Beta 8 for developers, which could be the final beta in the iOS 26 cycle. So I don’t expect many new features to be added, just bug fixes reported by users.
In case you missed it, here are the features and changes included in iOS 26 Beta 7 →
iOS 26 Beta 8 is just a bug fix update
Just as I predicted, the Beta 8 update doesn’t include any visual changes and seems to be only a bug fix release. Even the IPSW files for iOS 26 Beta 8 and Beta 7 are almost the same size.
What’s Next?
iOS 26 RC is expected to be released after the new iPhone launch event in September. The official iOS 26 release will follow shortly after, and we’ll move on to the iOS 26.1 beta cycle next month.
If I discover anything new, I’ll update it in this post. Stay tuned and follow @BetaProfiles on X or Threads!
