iOS 26 Beta 8 Released

Ana sayfa / News

Apple has released the eighth developer beta version of the highly anticipated iOS 26, taking one of the final steps before its final release. iOS 26 Beta 8, scheduled to be released to all users in about a month, includes final bug fixes and performance improvements before the final release.

Apple introduced iOS 26 with the promise of a “striking new design, powerful Apple Intelligence capabilities, and revamped apps.” Beta versions released throughout the development process have revealed how these claims have materialized. Beta 2 improved the readability of Control Center, while beta 4 brought back the notification summaries feature for news apps.

Apple also prioritizes user feedback, adding the “Select” button to the Mail app in beta 5 and in beta 7, integrating a “draft” section into the Messages app. The eighth beta release, the final installment of this long process, focuses on improving stability.

Which Devices Will Receive the iOS 26 Update?

The new operating system, along with its innovations, bids farewell to some older iPhone models. iOS 26 will be available for all newer models, including the iPhone 11 and iPhone SE (2nd generation). This means that iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max users will no longer receive major software updates. While these devices will continue to receive security updates for a while, they will be deprived of new features.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of Apple Intelligence, iOS 26’s most notable innovation, will require a device with more powerful hardware. These advanced AI capabilities will only be available on the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the iPhone 16 series models that will be introduced this year.
