Apple is preparing to roll out iOS 26.2, the next significant software update for iPhones, which is currently in beta testing. The update is expected to be released to all users in December, likely around mid-month. Historically, Apple’s x.2 updates have been launched in mid-December, with previous versions arriving between December 11 and December 13. This year, iOS 26.2 might be released on Wednesday, December 10, or possibly the following week around Monday, December 15. The beta cycle began later than usual this year, starting on November 4, which could impact the release timeline. Regardless, iOS 26.2 is set to be available by mid-December. The update promises a robust set of new features, offering more enhancements than iOS 26.1. Additional features may be introduced throughout the beta phase leading up to the launch.
