– [Joanna] Apple just announced iOS 26, the biggest redesign in years. Can you say? – Liquid glass.
– Liquid glass. – Liquid glass. – Which sounds like
some sort of new vodka. And no, you didn’t miss iOS
19 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25. Apple’s now naming these after years, except it’s doing the car maker thing and going with the coming year. Let’s break down 26 of the
biggest features for iOS 26. Just joking, we’re doing five. Number one, the redesign. – [Representative] Liquid
glass is translucent and behaves just like
glass in the real world. – [Joanna] Okay, it’s a
lot of Apple hyperbole, but the OS does look really sleek. The whole lock and home
screen has a new design. Even the app icons can be
customized with a glass look. And many popular apps, Camera, Safari and more, have been redesigned too. The goal is to make the
screen look and feel bigger. – [Representative] Web
pages now flow edge to edge to the very bottom of the screen, enabling you to see more of the page. As you scroll, the tab
art dynamically shrinks to put your content front and center. – Say bye-bye to this camera app. – We’re giving Camera a
new, more intuitive design. A simplified and streamlined design elevates the two capture
modes that you use most, photo and video. – This design language is coming to macOS, iPadOS, CarPlay, and more. But remember iOS 7? (bright music) – [Representative] It has
a whole new structure. – And that redesign pissed
people off, big time. – [Camera Operator] What’s different? – Everything. – Well, you’re just gonna
have to get used to it. – No, I don’t wanna. – Of course, people got over it, but change is hard. Number two, phone stuff. Call screening
automatically answers a call from an unknown number in the background and requires the caller
to say who they are. – [Representative] Once the
caller shares their name and the reason for their call, your phone rings. (phone ringing) And you can view their response, pick up or ignore. – [Joanna] Then there’s hold assist. It detects when there’s hold music and it will sit on hold for you, and let you know when a
human has come on the line. And then there’s live translation. It will translate right
as the caller speaks. (caller speaking in foreign language) – And yes, this is all
Apple playing catch up to Google and Samsung. Number three, messages. – [Representative] We’re also bringing a highly requested feature, typing indicators for your group chats, which lets you know who
is about to chime in. – All right, can I get a,
“Finally,” for that one. Apple’s also adding
polls to group messages, and you can change the
background of the messages. Number four, AI stuff. You know how many times
we heard about Siri today? – Siri, Siri. – Two times. That’s a big change from last year. But Apple did talk about how it’s bringing Apple intelligence to more parts of its operating systems. The biggest one, visual intelligence. Now when you take a screenshot, it will give you an option to search those images, and even discuss them
using built-in ChatGPT. And Apple opened its on-device
large language models to developers. So apps can now tap into
offline AI features. Still, Apple’s looking
really behind in AI, and it’s clear it didn’t really
wanna talk about it today. Number five, small stuff. Sometimes the most exciting stuff is buried on this slide. You can customize the
snooze time in an alarm, and there’s an alert to
clean your camera lens when it’s dirty, another Android feature I love. Also, CarPlay is getting a big redesign and will include widgets. So who is getting iOS 26 and when? As per usual, it’s going to
come out this fall to everyone, but it will be in public beta in July. It’s coming to phones as
far back as the iPhone 11. Hey, Siri, are you still alive in there? You good? – [Siri] I’m Siri, your virtual assistant. – All right, yeah, that
answers everything.
