iOS 26.5.1 could launch soon as next iPhone update - 9to5Mac

It’s almost WWDC time, where iOS 27 will be revealed. But visitor logs to 9to5Mac indicate a smaller new iPhone update could debut first: iOS 26.5.1 is coming.

Apple testing iOS 26.5.1 for potential release soon

Apple released iOS 26.5 to all users just last week. But ahead of WWDC’s iOS 27 unveiling, it appears Apple has one more new update coming.

iOS 26.5.1 is currently being tested within Apple, as confirmed by 9to5Mac visitor logs.

Historically, after we first discover evidence of a minor update like this being tested, Apple ships the new software to all users not long after.
