How to install the beta for developers of iOS 26, iPados 26 or Watchos 26

by

Let’s explain how install beta for developers of iOS 26which is the new version of the Apple operating system. In addition to the name, it comes with a new nomenclature, and the steps that we are going to also be worth for ipados and watchos 26. But before starting, you must remember an important thing. It is not recommended to install these betas for developers In the devices you use in your day to day, since they are versions of the operating system that are very green, incomplete, without rectifying and full of failures. In these first betas, iOS will work badly. The operating system It will be slow and unstableand you will find large amounts of failures and bugs. They are the first tests with the system, and from them it will begin to be polished during the next months to be ready for the official launch in September. Betas for developers are only for those programmers who want to test their applications and prepare them for the arrival of the final version of the operating system. It can also serve you on an iPhone that you do not need to work well to try the new functions when they are arriving, but it is advisable to wait for public betas. Another thing to keep in mind is that betas for programmers are complicated to install, while public will be much easier, since they are intended for normal users. You are betas They will begin to arrive in mid -Julyand new versions will be leaving every little time until the final version. Requirements for developer beta To install betas for developers in Apple operating systems, you will need have a developer profile. This means that you will need to have registered on the Apple developers portal, something you can do through the website of Developer.apple.com. After doing so, you can download your profile to install it. But of course, these profiles are for real developers. If you are not you will have to resort to a trap. There is Third Party pages that offer you developer profileswith what you can try these betas without being one. The most popular is betaprofiles.devand all you need to do is press the operating system from which you want to lower a profile, and you will download a false one. This method is always open to problems and errors, but it is a part or alternative. Install the beta of iOS, ipados or watchos To install the beta of the new operating system, you must first get your developer profile As we told you before. When you have it, let it in iOS, and open it from the app Archives As if it were any other file. In doing so, you will be asked if you want to install it on the iPhone or the Apple Watch, since to install the Watchos betas you will have to do it using the linked iPhone. When you have installed the profile on your device, go to Settings In that same mobile or tablet. In the adjustments, click on the option of Downloaded profile and choose the option Install That will appear. Thus you can complete an installation process that is quite easy, where they will start asking for the mobile security password to confirm that you are the owner. Once the profile is install, you will have the device ready for the beta. Now you must restart it, and when you do it, go to the adjustments, go to Generaland enter Software update. With this You will look for new versions of iOSand the beta for developers will appear as if it were a normal update. In this guide we have shown you the catches of an iPhone, but The steps are exactly the same in an Apple Watch or iPad. The only thing that changes is that the profile for the Apple Watch you will have to download it to the iPhone with which it is linked, but everything else is the same.

Why your iPhone is going to go directly from iOS 18 to iOS 26, and why it makes all the way

by

Apple has just taught us the next software news that will arrive at the iPhone in September. The next version of iOS comes with a redesign to which Liquid Glass have baptized (And to which they have dedicated a good time from the presentation), but without a doubt the most striking change of this year is that the next version It will not be called iOS 19but iOS 26. We tell you the reason behind this decision and no, Apple has not been the first to do so. Jump from iOS 18 to iOS 26 makes sense Since the launch of the first iPhone in 2007, Apple has increased the numbering of one by one: iOS, iOS 2, iOS 3, iOS 4 … until you reach the current iOS 18. One more year, one more version, it makes sense. So, Why jump eight numbers suddenly? Apple wants to unify all its product ranges. All new software versions will be number 26. The problem of this logic is that they have done the same with the rest of their product lines, regardless of when they have been launched. Thus, the current versions of the Apple ecosystem are as follows: iOS 18, Ipados 18, Macos 15, Watchos 11 and Visionos 2. Come on, a mess. Apple’s intention is to unify all its product ranges, that is, that all new software versions will carry number 26. And why the 26? For the year (yes, iOS 26 will arrive in September 25, but in practice “you will live” more time in 2026). Samsung Did It First It is not the first time that we see a change like that of iOS 26. Samsung already did when in 2020 They made the jump of Samsung Galaxy S10 to the Samsung Galaxy S20. Since then the number has been increasing year after year, so in 2026 we will have the Galaxy S26. Apple’s change can make all the meaning -it is easier to communicate, it is better understood and allows us to locate immediately the year in which each version was presented. But it is also true that they arrive a little late and that starting this unification with the 26 makes it A very high and less manageable starting figure. There is also the detail that Each operating system is still called in a different way. Other brands in the sector have also unified nomenclature (Samsung did it with One UI, Xiaomi with Hyperos or Huawei with Harmonyos), although it does not seem that Apple will follow that path, at least not for the moment.

This is Liquid Glass, the new interface of iOS, Macos, Ipados and Watchos

by

Great changes were expected to the Interface of Apple’s operating systems, and we already have them with us. Liquid Glass arrivesa new design language that makes use of translucent elements throughout the interface. Alan Dye, head of human interface in Apple, presented this “inspired” vision “redesign. This “expressive material” precisely adopts the appearance of a layer of liquid crystal that applies to drop -down menus, buttons and other visual elements. There is a unique effect also on all these visual elements: They are translucentbut they act as a unique lens that shows what is underneath as if those elements were actually made of that material. Transparencies are very realistic thanks to the effects that mimic this glass effect. In the iPhone wallpaper, for example, the time digits show the background color slightly modified by the effect of “liquid crystal” itself. This new interface adapts without problems in the dark mode if necessary, although Apple showed above all clear mode in all captures and demonstration animations. That interface promises to be especially clean, although a priori does not seem especially radical: we have a desk that seems more polished and with more “air” than its predecessor. There is something especially important: those visual elements are universal throughout the Apple ecosystem. The Liquid Glass design language reaches iOS, macOS, iPados or Watchos equally. All of them take another leap: Theoretically this year Macos 16 or iOS 19 were going to arrive, but instead we will have macos 26 or iOS 26. In development …

The great debate about whether iOS is safer than Android, myths and realities of ‘Breaking Bad’ and much more in 1×09 crossover

by

Can anyone manufacture your own drugs How did it happen in ‘Breaking Bad’? To tell us about the myths and realities of that series and many other things, he has accompanied us In this 1×09 crossover A very special guest: Breaking Vlad. This well -known scientific disseminator is also an original content creator because of his way of talking about chemical experiments, and in the interview we have been able to do, he answers striking questions about the radiation of phones or about the future of hydrogen cars. Presented as sowing by Jaume Lahoz and Carlos Santa Engracia, in this episode the collaboration of Xataka serves to reactivate an old and controversial debate: If iOS is safer than Android. Both platforms have been really reliable for a long time, and perhaps the problem, as the interview reveals, is another. It is also necessary to separate that debate from another in which Apple does take advantage of Google. One thing is security – things are balanced – and another very different privacy, where Apple’s business model – which is not focused on advertising – allows the company to give more guarantees. In 1×09 crossover there is also a place to make a fun debate about false news that we have seen these days – a Chromecast with integrated Tinder? -, and as we always expect your comments and ideas to improve in upcoming episodes.

Everything indicates that the ambitious redesign of iOS 19 will not be the only great novelty

by

If you follow the Apple Universe or simply want to be aware of your next releases, you can already mark a date on the calendar: on Monday, June 9, the Worldwide Developers Conference (Wwdc). WWDC 2025. The Developer Conference will be held from June 9 to 13. As usual, the first day will take place the inaugural Keynote from the Apple Park, with Tim Cook in front and the participation of other members of the Apple team. The presentation will be issued in engraved format at 7:00 p.m. (Spanish peninsular time). Those who are in Apple Park can see it from there and take the opportunity to participate in activities with experts and in the company’s laboratories. What to expect from the WWDC 2025? Apple maintains the usual secretism, but the experience tells us that the conference will begin with a tour of software news. This is what could be announced. Redesign in iOS 19Ipados 19 and Macos 16 Updates for Visionos 3, Watchos 12 and Tvos 19 New functions linked to Apple Intelligence The leaks suggest that Apple prepares a deep redesign of its operating systems, the elder since iOS 7 and macos big south.

iOS 19 promises to be a total look change. It is actually something much more important for Apple

by

Apple prepares to execute the greatest redesign of its operating systems in a decade. As Mark Gurman filtered in Bloomberg, iOS 19 will involve a radical transformation of the iPhone interfacewith Changes in icons, menus, windows and system controls. A risky bet for a manufacturer whose income slowed down after boom pandemic and whose star product – the iPhone – has finally accumulated the feeling of Touch in income even with some fall. The interesting thing about this redesign is What tells us about Apple’s strategy. The cook company usually marks trend in interface designs, but now it is seen in a paradoxical situation: seeks inspiration in its less sold product, the Vision Pro. His mixed reality helmet does not seem unify the experience Among all Apple devices. It is a fine irony: the product that has the least users is the one to mark how we will interact with our devices the more than one billion iPhone users. This movement speaks of another important change in Apple’s product philosophy. For years it has maintained a clear distinction among its platforms, resisting the temptation to merge iOS and macOS as competitors have tried (Microsoft, Google). GIF: Apple. Now, without abandoning that functional separationApple seeks a visual coherence that makes the transition between devices more fluid. It is no accident that it occurs in a very marked context: Difficulty increasing income in the last two yearswhich translates into the need to stimulate the renewal of devices and consolidate its ecosystem The redesign also indicates a possible vulnerability in the current Apple position: the iPhone interface, once revolutionary, He has become familiar to the point of invisibility. Innovating in hardware is increasingly complicated when the product is mature – at the smartphone now happens to what at the time happened to the computer – so The perception of novelty must be created through software. If you cannot revolutionize physical experience, visually change it. It is a technological, but also psychological game: to make the known feel new. But without alienating a base of heterogeneous and massive users accustomed to certain interaction patterns. It is not the same to make changes in the Mac OS X of 2007 (for a niche of users, the majority enthusiasts) than in the IOS of 2025 (for people of all ages, technical levels and cultural contexts, from children to the elderly). The question is not whether Apple will technically implement these changes – it has talent and resources to do so and will do it – but If they will achieve the delicate balance between innovation and familiarity that defines the best product evolutions. As he taught us iOS 7 It makes twelve years, reinvent what works always entails risks. But maybe that is precisely the point: Apple needs to risk again.
