Summary
Apple has released the second iOS 26.6 developer beta for iPhone, advancing the next shipping update even as pre-release attention shifts to iOS 27.
Two changes have surfaced so far: Apple appears to be adjusting the limit on how many contacts users can block and testing a new anti-theft iPhone feature.
The beta follows both the first developer beta and a public beta released in May, with few other new features expected in iOS 26.6.
iOS 26.6 is running slightly ahead of Apple’s 2025 timing, while the bigger iOS 27 rollout remains on track for customers in September.
