Overview
- MacRumors and 9to5Mac report devices running iOS 26.3.1 in their visitor logs, a recurring signal that typically precedes a public point release by one to two weeks.
- The update is expected to focus on bug fixes and security patches, with any added hardware support unconfirmed and described as speculative by outlets.
- Apple has released second developer betas across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS as part of the 26.4 cycle.
- iOS 26.4 beta 2 expands testing of end‑to‑end encrypted RCS to iPhone‑Android messaging, keeps Stolen Device Protection enabled by default, and continues Apple Music and Podcasts upgrades.
- macOS 26.4 betas add a Charge Limit setting and restore Safari’s compact tab bar, tvOS removes legacy iTunes Movies and TV Shows apps, and coverage links software timing to the March 2–4 Apple Experience with hands‑on sessions on March 4 in New York, London, and Shanghai.
