Apple releases new iOS 26.4 version for beta users, plus more

Apple just released its next wave of major software updates, including iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4, macOS 26.4, and more. But alongside the public launches, Apple has also shipped new builds of its 26.4 updates for beta users.

New builds for iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4, and more now available for beta testers

If you’ve been running the beta version of iOS 26.4, macOS 26.4, or another 26.4 update, you’ll likely see a new build available to install today.

That’s because alongside the public launches of its 26.4 lineup, Apple shipped new builds for beta testers too.

Beta testers will find new builds available to install for:

  • iOS 26.4 (Build 23E246)
  • iPadOS 26.4 (Build 23E246)
  • macOS 26.4 (Build 25E246)
  • watchOS 26.4 (Build 23T240)
  • tvOS 26.4 (Build 23L243)
  • visionOS 26.4 (Build 23O247)

These match the versions released to the public.

Any changes between the previous RC builds and these new releases are expected to be very minor. Beta testers likely won’t notice any differences, though hopefully the launch versions come with fewer bugs overall.
