While we’re all looking forward to the reveal of iOS 27 at WWDC, the iOS 26 software cycle isn’t over just yet. Following the public release of iOS 26.5, Apple has now deployed iOS 26.6 developer beta 1.
Tuesday’s software update increases the build number to 23G5028e, up from the 23F77 build number of iOS 26.5. Though the iOS 26.6 beta is a relatively light release feature-wise, it does include two significant changes: an Apple Maps security upgrade and a new Contacts feature.
