Apple releases iOS 26.3 RC for iPhone

Apple has released the iOS 26.3 Release Candidate for iPhone. iOS 26.3 introduces an easier way to switch between Android and iPhone, tweaks to the Astronomy and Weather wallpaper gallery, and more.

The update follows the official release of iOS 26.2 for iPhone in December and iOS 26.2.1 in January. That update introduced new ways to tweak Liquid Glass design elements, more CarPlay customization options, and much more.

Looking beyond iOS 26.3, we expect iOS 26.4 to be the first version that includes the long-overdue upgraded version of Siri. Apple and Google recently announced plans to use Gemini as the engine behind the upgraded version of Siri and Apple Intelligence.

That appears to be the most exciting thing about iOS 26.3 … we’re one step closer to the latest version of new Siri.
