Why Apple Just Dropped iOS 26.6 Beta 1 Right Before iOS 27

Apple released iOS 26.6 Beta 1 ahead of the expected iOS 27 reveal at WWDC.

The update is mainly about performance, bug fixes, and late-stage polish for iPhone software.

Small additions include expanded blocked-number limits, a prompt for unsaved callers, and a Transfer to Android option.

Apple also added tweaks to the FIFA World Cup 2026 app and more lock screen color choices.
