The iOS 26 public beta is here, and it’s Apple’s biggest iPhone software update in a decade. The centerpiece is “Liquid Glass,” a vibrant, animated redesign that rethinks the entire UI. iOS 26 also introduces smarter Messages, a revamped Phone app with call screening, redesigned Camera and Photos apps, Live Translation, and a new Apple Games app. Apple Intelligence adds real-time translation, visual search from screenshots, and deeper ChatGPT integration. CarPlay gets widgets and multitasking boosts, while Music adds AutoMix transitions. The update is bold, playful—and not without controversy. Apple’s aiming to set the tone for iOS’s next decade.
