From the release notes:

The new Edge for desktop is set to release on January 15 after months of testing. Presumably, we’ll see the new icon and navigation improvements launch for everyone on the mobile apps around the same time. Additionally, you should expect to see the ability to sync your passwords, favorites, and more with the new version of Edge once it’s officially available.

If you’re interested in testing Edge beta releases, you can find downloads for all platforms at theMicrosoft Edge Insider site. Note that the iOS beta requires that you be accepted into the TestFlight program, which has limited slots available.
