Overview

• According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple reserved two major capabilities after its WWDC unveiling to ensure they’re near shipping quality.
• One feature is set to enable live language translation through AirPods, delivering real-time multilingual conversations directly in users’ ears.
• The other feature is set to automatically sync captive Wi-Fi login credentials across Apple devices via iCloud, simplifying access to public networks.
• Both capabilities are expected to debut in iOS 26.1 in October or in iOS 26.2 in December, following the completion of the beta cycle.
• Apple’s phased rollout reflects a cautious staging strategy aimed at avoiding the premature announcements and delays that followed WWDC 2024.
