Apple has confirmed iOS 26’s public launch this fall, following the release of beta 4 to developers and testers with major UI and Apple Intelligence updates.

These include Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, Apple News Plus, iCloud Plus, Apple Arcade and Fitness Plus -- the content we can stream, play or access instantly with a monthly fee. Last quarter, these services brought in more revenue for Apple than Macs, iPads, wearables and accessories combined.

Apple 's Liquid Glass design is, by far, the most polarizing feature in iOS 26.

Apple Maps benefits from iOS 26’s new ‘Liquid Glass’ design, but it also packs some brand new features for users. Here’s what’s coming.

iOS 26 brings a new translucent "Liquid Glass" look, the latest on-device Apple Intelligence perks (real-time translation and a smarter Visual Intelligence search ), and phone and text upgrades like built-in call screening and in-chat polls.

Apple has reportedly been working on a HomePod with a screen for years, and a new leak from iOS 26 seems to confirm its existence.

Notification summaries are once again working with news app headlines in the fourth iOS 26 developer beta, though it is too early to tell if it will actually work properly this time.

That’s changing in iOS 26. As spotted by MacRumors, when you tap within a message, you’ll get a cursor that will highlight the text you want as well as an option to copy part of it. Then you can take that bit of text and paste it into whatever app you want.
