iOS 26.1 Release Date Tipped: When Can iPhone Users Expect The New Update? | Tech News

iOS 26.1 beta updates have reached their end stage.

iOS 26.1 beta updates have been rolling out over the last few weeks and many expected Apple to have the full release available this month itself. But now with just a few days left in October, most reports hint at a later release date for iOS 26.1 update. The new iOS 26 version has got new features, some alterations to the existing design and more tweaks for the Liquid Glass interface. 

iOS 26.1 Release Date Details: When Will It Come? 

We are just a few days away from the end of October and this suggests the big iOS 26.1 update for all iPhone users should be available either early next week or in the first week of November. This is also based on the fact that Apple brings the iOS 26.1 Release Candidate version this week. 

The company has already tweaked the interface by giving users the control to change the transparency level of the glass effect and now further changes have made their way through the beta 4 version which offers more customisation. 

There has been a lot of chatter around the iOS 26 interface and every beta update suggests someone at Apple is reading most of them. 

The iOS 26 beta update showed us mixed views about the new design changes, including the new Liquid Glass UI that has made its way to the final version albeit in a refined way.

But in case you still don’t like the new look of the iOS version, Apple is making it easy to disable the Glass design and go for something more opaque. Apple is also giving you more options in Accessibility if the new design changes don’t catch your interest. 

Reaching the beta 4 stage generally means Apple is set for the public iOS release for all iPhone users who are eligible to get the new version. But it all depends on how the company feels about the beta versions and whether it is prepared to let everyone use it on their daily driver.
