Apple has released a new, revised build of iOS 26 beta 6 for developers. Here’s what you should know.
iOS 26 beta 6 re-released with new developer build
Earlier this week, Apple shipped iOS 26 beta 6 for developers.
Curiously, that Monday release was never followed by a public beta—until today.
Alongside today’s iOS 26 public beta 3 release, Apple has also shipped an updated beta for developers. That new beta carries the same ‘beta 6’ designation as Monday’s release.
- The prior beta 6 release had build number 23A5318c.
- Today’s new release from Apple is 23A5318f.
Apple’s re-use of the ‘beta 6’ designation implies this update won’t include any user-facing new features or substantial changes.
Rather, it likely addresses some bugs or security fixes that needed to be implemented before the public beta shipped.
Personally, the last few days with iOS 26 beta 6 installed on my iPhone have been pretty solid. Performance has seemed better than ever.
However, it’s always possible other users have been encountering larger problems.
We may never know what sort of potential vulnerabilities or issues led Apple to release today’s updated build, but if you’re on the developer beta, it’s time for another update.
We’ll keep you posted on any changes spotted in the new iOS 26 beta 6.
