Overview

  • iOS 26 is now available as a free download for compatible iPhones, including iPhone 11 and newer, iPhone SE (2nd generation and later), and all iPhone 17 models.
  • Liquid Glass delivers Apple’s biggest iPhone interface overhaul in about a decade, reshaping icons, lock screen elements, and core apps like Camera, Photos, Safari, and Settings.
  • Apple Intelligence adds live translation in Messages, FaceTime, and Phone, enhanced on‑screen visual search, and on‑device AI models accessible to developers via the Foundation Models Framework.
  • Adaptive Power aims to extend battery life by making automatic performance adjustments and can trigger Low Power Mode when charge falls to about 20%.
  • Users are posting complaints of rapid battery drain after updating, and Apple’s support guidance says the effect should be temporary while indexing, resource downloads, and app updates complete in the background.
