Overview

  • Developer beta now addresses early battery-drain complaints following its WWDC preview release.
  • Public beta is expected to launch in early July ahead of a mid-September full rollout timed with the iPhone 17 lineup.
  • Liquid Glass design introduces translucent interface elements that reflect and refract surroundings to keep attention on content.
  • AI features such as on-device Live Translation, Visual Intelligence and call screening provide real-time language support, screen analysis and spam filtering.
  • Supported devices include iPhone 12 through 17 series and SE second generation or newer, requiring 6–8 GB of free space and potentially dropping support for iPhone 11 and earlier.
