Ready for Apple's iOS 26? These are all the compatible iPhones that can run public beta 2 right now
Here is a 180-word summary of the news article: Apple is set to release iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 this fall, bringing major upgrades to iPhone and iPad operating systems. The public beta 2 is now available for testing, offering a more stable version of the developer beta. While last year saw no iPhone models cut from the eligibility list, 2025 is different - the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max from 2018 will not be compatible with iOS 26. All iPhones from the iPhone 11 and later, as well as the second-gen iPhone SE, will be able to run the new OS. Key new features include the Liquid Glass design update, a revamped Phone app, live translation capabilities, and a new polls feature in Messages. Users with older, ineligible iPhones will miss out on security updates and some app functionality, though can continue using their devices. iOS 26 is expected to release alongside the iPhone 17 lineup in mid-September.
