Apple Unleashes iOS 26.1 Developer Beta, Kicking Off First Major Update Cycle
Apple has officially released the first developer beta for iOS 26.1, signaling the start of the first major update cycle following the recent launch of iOS 26. This immediate follow-up provides developers with early access to upcoming features and refinements for the iPhone platform.
The new beta, identified by build version 23B5044l, arrives just days after the public release of iOS 26 on September 15. That initial launch introduced the highly anticipated Liquid Glass redesign across the iPhone ecosystem, with third-party apps already beginning to integrate the new aesthetic. Developers can now download and test iOS 26.1 to prepare their applications for future enhancements and ensure compatibility with Apple’s evolving mobile operating system.
