How to Install Apple’s Redesigned Operating Systems — If You’re a Developer

Apple Inc. on Monday released the first developer beta previews for its upcoming iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26, and visionOS 26 updates. The software is intended to give app makers an opportunity to explore the visual redesign and new features ahead of a wide rollout in the fall. A public beta will be available in July for those who want to test the major software upgrades several months in advance.

Installing the initial developer beta is easy, though you should refrain from doing so on a primary device since bugs and unpredictable glitches are likely present at this early stage. But if you’re curious and have an old iPhone, iPad or Mac lying around, getting started is a simple process.
