Apple has launched the iOS 26 Developer Beta 2, revealing exciting new features and hints about the upcoming iPhone 17 Air. This release came just two weeks after the first Developer Beta was unveiled following the WWDC keynote. Notably, a bug in the initial release caused low battery indicators to misbehave, prompting a revised version on June 13.
For those interested in installing iOS 26 Developer Beta 2, simply navigate to Settings > General > Software Update if you are part of the Apple Beta program. If you haven’t signed up yet, visit the Apple Beta website to enroll. Ensure your device is backed up before proceeding with the installation, especially given the possible introduction of new features and enhancements.
Among the updates, users will notice that with fewer than four app icons in the dock, the alignment shifts to the left, likely due to a bug. One of the most noteworthy additions is the new Live Radio widget for Apple Music, easily added by entering jiggle mode on the home screen and selecting the appropriate widget from the Music section. In the Safari app, updates include a streamlined menu via the “More” icon, enhancing sharing options and bookmark management.
Additionally, the iconic Reflection ringtone has been refreshed with an alternate version, which can be found in the Ringtone settings. The iOS 26 Developer Beta 2 also hints at the iPhone 17 Air’s display specifications. A new clownfish wallpaper with a resolution of 420×912@3x suggests a potential resolution of 1260×2736, aligning closely with analyst predictions for the forthcoming iPhone model, making it an intriguing glimpse into the future.
