iOS 10 release date

Apple is once again planning a staggered iOS 10 release date among app developers, public beta testers and everyone else who wants to wait for the final version.

Technically, iOS 10 is out right now, launching the same day as WWDC 2016 in beta form to developers. It's not ready for average iPhone and iPad users who aren't making apps just yet.

Don't worry, you won't have to wait too long to test out iOS 10 on your own. Apple is planning a public beta in July, and it'll help squash bugs two months before the official release date.

That's good news. Last year's public beta was a big success for Apple judging from the smoother sailing of iOS 9, and it continues to be a surprise with new iOS 9.3 features that also went through a beta.

If you decide to wait for the final version of iOS 10, it'll take a while longer due to additional bug testing. A stable version of iOS 10 should launch alongside the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in September.
