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.

Before Apple turns all its attention to iOS 26, there’s another iPhone update on the horizon, and it’s very nearly here.

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.

In the Settings app, go to Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap and choose one of two options: double tap or triple tap. You should see a list of actions you can run by tapping the back of your iPhone, like opening your camera, turning on the flashlight and scrolling up and down. Tap an action or shortcut to enable it with Back Tap.

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.
