General users will need to wait, as Apple is expected to release the iOS 26 public beta in late June or early July.

But next week (specifically, Monday June 9) could bring some welcome news to those of us who have to make do with good old-fashioned CarPlay, as Apple is rumored to be refreshing the look of its operating system across all devices with iOS 26, including those that are tethered to a vehicle’s head unit.

Apple will launch iOS 26 beta 1 to developers soon after WWDC 2025, and we already have the rumored iPhone compatibility list for it.

Apple's rumored upcoming shift to a year-based naming system for its operating systems will include the latest versions of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS.

WWDC 2025 is almost here, and credible reports say compatible AirPods are getting these meaningful upgrades. Here's what you can expect.

Apple could make a big change to the way it numbers its operating systems, with a year-based system renaming iOS 19 as iOS 26, and macOS in the same way.

While WWDC dominates the releases from Apple for June, we can still expect the usual slate of Apple TV+ programs and Apple Arcade releases. Apple’s yearly developer conference lasts for a week, but the big moment is the opening keynote on June 9.
