Apple Releases iOS 26.1 RC (Release Candidate) System Updates

Today, Apple pushed out a large number of RC (Release Candidate) system updates to developers. The specific versions released are as follows:

• iOS 26.1 RC (23B82)
• iPadOS 26.1 RC (23B82)
• macOS 26.1 RC (25B77)
• tvOS 26.1 RC (23J580)
• visionOS 26.1 RC (23N48)
• iOS 18.7.2 RC (22H123)
• iPadOS 18.7.2 RC (22H123)

This is an RC release. If you update now, it means you will not receive a push notification for the subsequent public release (the final version). If you are not in a rush, it is recommended to wait for the public release next week.

The official public releases of iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, macOS Tahoe 26.1, tvOS 26.1, watchOS 26.1, and visionOS 26.1 are expected to be available in early November.

That concludes the content for this update. Feel free to leave a comment to discuss!
