Apple has just released another wave of beta updates for its forthcoming major software versions, including beta 9 for iPadOS 26, tvOS 26, and more.

Based on prior years’ patterns, last week’s beta 8 updates from Apple were widely expected to be the last releases before next week’s RC (release candidate) versions.

Today, however, the company shipped a wave of beta 9 updates.

New beta 9 releases include:

• iOS 26
• iPadOS 26
• macOS Tahoe
• tvOS 26
• visionOS 26
• watchOS 26
• HomePod 26

Apple is still expected to save its RC builds until after next week’s iPhone 17 event on September 9 .

However, these latest releases should offer more bug fixes and stability improvements to beta users.

Currently, beta 9 is only available for developers, but we will likely see public beta builds follow suit later today.

Personally, I’ve encountered more issues running beta 8 than I would normally expect for a release that’s so near to its public launch. Here’s hoping today’s beta 9 updates offer meaningful improvements.

How have the latest Apple betas been running for you? Let us know in the comments.
