Apple has released an updated version of the iOS 26 Developer Beta, focusing on enhancing battery performance for iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 users. The initial release encountered a serious battery issue, causing some devices to display the low battery symbol and fail to turn on. To address this concern, Apple quickly rolled out a revised Developer Beta to prevent any potential bricking of the affected models.
iPhone 11 series through iPhone 14 series users are not at risk of facing the battery problem, even if they have installed the original iOS 26 Developer Beta on their devices. However, older iPhone models are not compatible with this updated build. The Developer Beta serves as a useful tool for app developers to ensure compatibility with the new operating system for their creations.
