iOS 26: A New Era for iPhones

Apple will reportedly announce iOS 26, abandoning the version-numbering system to "reboot" iOS. iOS 26 will reportedly undergo a "radical" design shift adopting some elements from visionOS with translucent menus, icon shapes that are rounded, and a shiny, glass aesthetic. iOS 26 could also contain more sophisticated AI features, including real time translation of languages through AirPods, improved battery management, and more.

macOS 26 and Other System Updates
