Release notes
What changed
Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.
Release identity
This article enriches the existing iOS 26.1 Beta 1 route dated 2025-09-22. It does not alter the audited timeline date or create a second event.[1]
Archived Apple note state
Internet Archive retained Apple's human documentation shell and its structured DocC payload during the interval after Beta 1 and before Beta 2. The raw document identifies itself as the iOS 26.1 beta notes and contains 15 itemized entries represented here.[2]
Documented initial inventory
The preserved state covers Background Assets, Game Controller, HealthKit, Keyboard, Nearby Interaction, Siri, SwiftUI, and UIKit. Resolved issues, new capabilities, API changes, and known issues remain separately labeled in the structured inventory.[2]
Attribution boundary
This is direct initial-snapshot evidence, not a claim that every item appeared at the exact release hour. The raw capture falls before Beta 2, so no later milestone is crossed and no final cumulative note is copied backward.[2]
