Apple has just released iOS 26 Developer Beta 9, and it is now available on all compatible devices that are running the beta. Today’s release comes as a surprise, as Apple has not released the 9th beta of its major operating systems in a while. The last 9th iOS beta was released back in 2018. Apple released iOS 26 beta 8 last week.
Apple has already announced its iPhone 17 event for September 9, and the company is expected to release an iOS 26 RC right after the event.
In addition to iOS 26 beta 9, Apple has also released iPadOS 26 beta 9, macOS Tahoe beta 9, watchOS 26 beta 9, tvOS 26 beta 9, and visionOS 26 beta 9. All of these beta updates are also available to download on their supported devices.
Changes in iOS 26 developer beta 9
We do not expect Apple to add any major new changes in iOS 26 beta 9. Apple also did not make any noticeable changes to iOS 26 beta 8.
Having said that, we are installing the update and will update this post if any changes are discovered.
