Can you download the iOS 26 beta today? Here's a comprehensive list of all compatible iPhones

Here is a 192-word summary of the key points from the article: Apple is set to release iOS 26, a major update to the iPhone operating system, this fall. The update includes a new "Liquid Glass" design with a revamped home screen and app icons. The public beta is available now, though beta software carries some risk. Several older iPhone models from 2018 will not be compatible with iOS 26, including the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max. However, iPhones from 2019 and later will be able to download the new OS, including the iPhone SE (2nd gen), iPhone 11 series, iPhone 12 series, iPhone 13 series, and upcoming iPhone 15 models. Owners of incompatible iPhones can continue using their devices, but will miss out on security updates and some new features. iOS 26 is expected to launch in mid-September, alongside the new iPhone 17 lineup. Key iOS 26 updates include the Liquid Glass design, a redesigned Phone app, real-time language translation, and a new polls feature in Messages. The update represents Apple's largest visual overhaul in years as it aims to unify the look and feel across its operating systems.
