OS 26 has been unveiled to the world, but when will it be available on your iPhone? Here’s what to expect for iOS 26’s release date.

The Apple iOS 26 update is right around the corner, but if you’re not using one of the latest iPhone models or Apple Intelligence, you’ll miss out on many of its innovative new features. The blockbuster iOS 26 update is Apple's latest mobile operating system for iPhones.

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.

OS 26 beta is hinting at a new Sleep Score feature coming to the Apple Watch. Here are all the details on this.

Apple’s next phone operating system arriving this fall, iOS 26, includes a transparent aesthetic mimicking the look of glass and making apps and buttons blend in with content on the screen. Google is doing the opposite with its newly released operating system, Android 16, which emphasizes brighter, punchier colors.

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.

As with every iOS update, iOS 26 will bring with it some changes for the CarPlay interface that appears when your iPhone is connected to your vehicle – and Apple has now quietly confirmed that one of those changes will be support for video playback.
