This is the liquid glass design that we
0:12
iOS 26 public beta is finally here and I
0:16
have downloaded and installed it. You
0:19
can see the liquid glass effect as you
0:22
scroll through notifications on the lock
0:25
screen. This effect is here and there
0:29
all through the UI in different places
0:32
as you use the phone. You can see it all
0:35
here. The nice thing about iOS 26 public
0:39
beta is that it is much closer to the
0:42
look and feel of the original liquid
0:46
glass design that was released with the
0:49
first developer beta of the software.
0:55
after that first beta was released, a
0:58
number of developers complained about
1:00
legibility of text on the display, and
1:04
Apple had to tweak and fine-tune it,
1:07
mostly getting rid of most of that
1:10
effect. And again, that met with some
1:12
backlash. I felt that that original look
1:15
was good, and I'm glad to see that it's
1:18
back here. It's as close to the
1:20
original. There are some differences
1:22
here and there. The legibility of text
1:25
has been improved, but now we really
1:29
really once again feel like we have the
1:33
liquid glass design back and and that's
1:36
a win in my books. I really loved that
1:39
look. I really love this look. Note that
1:44
beta software pretty much means that
1:47
something can go wrong. If you want to
1:50
try this out, you're trying it out at
1:52
your risk. Your microphone may refuse to
1:54
work. The camera may refuse to launch,
1:56
something can go wrong. So, Apple says,
2:00
"Don't install this on a device that you
2:02
use daily, that you depend on daily." So
2:06
far, I haven't noticed anything, but
2:08
that doesn't mean those issues do not
2:10
exist. How do you download and install
2:14
this on your device? I'm including a
2:17
link to an earlier video that I have
2:18
done showing you how to get iOS beta
2:21
updates. But pretty much if you have
2:24
signed up for developer beta, when you
2:27
come to the software update page in your
2:32
what you need to do is now come here and
2:38
because what you had selected was
2:42
developer beta. If you select public
2:45
beta and then you go back here, the
2:47
phone will connect to the server and
2:49
then display the public beta for you to
2:52
download and install here. If you were
2:54
not signed up to the developer beta, the
2:57
iOS 26 developer beta seen here will not
3:00
display anyway. You get only the public
3:02
beta directly and you can just download
3:05
and install. But do check out that video
3:08
that I published earlier about how to
3:10
get either the developer beta or the
3:14
public beta of iOS software. Once you do
3:17
that, you download, you install
3:20
depending on how fast your internet
3:22
connection is. This particular update
3:24
was about 7 over 7 GB in size. Rather
3:29
large if you ask me and understandably
3:31
so. You need a fast internet connection
3:34
to get this done. If it's not so fast,
3:36
you wait an hour, maybe more. But if
3:39
it's fast enough, in a matter of
3:40
minutes, it should be done and be able
3:42
to enjoy the new iOS 26 public beta.
3:46
Liquid glass looks smooth on this. I
3:50
haven't tested anything else on the
3:52
phone to be sure what works, what
3:54
doesn't work. And what works and what
3:56
doesn't work will likely differ from
3:58
phone to phone anyway. So, even if I
4:01
were to find something here, it doesn't
4:03
mean that's exactly what it will be on
4:05
your own device. But here it is, iOS 26
4:11
public beta. I'm glad to see it. I look
4:14
forward to playing with it over the next
4:17
few days to see what I find. But it
4:20
looks good. This is the liquid glass
4:22
design that we wanted. Thanks for
4:25
