But while Apple's new iPhones may be quite different, what they all have in common is they'll very likely ship with iOS 26, Apple's latest and great iPhone OS, out of the box. Apple has big plans for iOS 26, including the new Liquid Glass redesign, fresh messaging features, updates to Apple Music, among many other changes.
No one can predict the future, and there are few leaks and rumors out there spilling the beans on this release date. That said, we can turn to recent history to make an educated guess as to when Apple plans to launch the new OS this year.
The year before, Apple deviated from this pattern slightly, releasing iOS 17 six days after unveiling the iPhone 15 series. One year before that, however, Apple followed the one-week-later pattern for iOS 16. While anything is possible, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to see iOS 26 one week after Apple's event on Tuesday, though historical precedent could allow for a Monday launch, as well.
You can run iOS 26 right now
You don't actually have to wait until Apple officially releases iOS 26 to try out all these new features and changes. The company has been beta testing the software since June (though the public beta didn't launch until July), rooting out bugs and glitches to optimize the experience for the general public.
There's a risk in installing any beta on your device, since the software is not finished yet. But if you want to experience iOS 26 before most of your friends and family, the option is there. As we're inching closer to the end of the beta cycle, the risks are lower than they were when Apple was still looking out for larger bugs. Still, if you choose to install the beta on your iPhone, make sure to archive your phone to a secure source, like your Mac or PC, as you could lose your data should you need to downgrade back to iOS 18.
