Apple has released public beta 3 for watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and HomePod 26. The updates focus on bug fixes and stability.
watchOS 26 prioritizes ringtones and Liquid Glass updates in iOS 26, while the other platforms lack noticeable feature updates. This is expected as major software versions are nearing release.
The emphasis on bug elimination and performance improvements suggests that future betas will be more stable than previous ones. With only a month left until the official launch, this update brings Apple closer to a successful public rollout.
