The iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS Tahoe 26 operating systems sporting a glassy design overhaul are Apple\u2019s most popular developer betas so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apple CEO Tim Cook shared this tidbit during a conference call with investors and analysts yesterday after the company posted results for the June quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s wonderful to see great momentum building for our platforms,\u201d said Cook, per a transcript of the conference call shared by Six Colors<\/em><\/a>. \u201ciOS 26, macOS 26 and iPadOS 26 are by far the most popular developer betas we’ve had.\u201d<\/p>\n

iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS Tahoe 26 are Apple\u2019s most popular betas so far<\/h2>\n

Apple previews new features across its software platforms once per year in June, at a five-day event called the Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC. The first developer betas of software updates that will be released publicly in the fall are shared following the conclusion of the WWDC keynote<\/a> on the first day of the event.<\/p>\n

In the past, developers who wanted to access these betas had to pay a yearly fee of $99 for an Apple Developer Program membership. As of two years ago, developers can download betas even if they don\u2019t pay this fee.<\/p>\n

Versions for public beta testing are released in July, and this year was no exception<\/a>. Anyone can install these betas to test new features before they\u2019re widely available by signing up with their Apple account at the Apple Beta Software Program website<\/a>. However, many non-developers who are eager to be among the first to test new features waste no time installing developer betas as soon as they\u2019re available.<\/p>\n

Cook also mentioned the glassy design overhaul that these operating systems bring to Apple devices, saying the new design is crafted from a material the company calls Liquid Glass. \u201cIt’s both beautiful and expressive, and for the first time ever, this design extends across all of our platforms,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

3 billion iPhones sold<\/h2>\n

The CEO shared on X that Apple has sold more than three billion iPhones since the first iPhone made its debut in 2007.<\/p>\n

\n

3 billion iPhones sold! <\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone who’s made iPhone such an important part of their lives. I’m incredibly excited for what’s ahead!<\/p>\n

Apple reported revenue of $94 billion, beating expectations, and net quarterly profit of $23.4 billion, or $1.57 per diluted share. These are better results compared with the same 3-month period in 2024, when the company reported $85.8 billion in revenue and net quarterly profit of $21.4 billion, or $1.40 per diluted share. The Services business raked in $27.4 billion during the quarter, versus the $24.2 billion in Services revenue in the year-ago quarter.<\/p>\n
