When Tim Cook presents the Apple World Wide Developer conference on Monday June 9 at 10 am Pacific, it seems that the company will reveal its greatest software overhaul in years. For many iPhone users, the software, which is called iOS 26, will give them the impression that their existing handset is suddenly a brand new iPhone. Here are the latest details.
After the WWDC24 of last year, Apple has more in its round for this year.
iOS 26: The new name
If you have missed the recent news on renumotation about to occur, it is believed that each new operating system announced at WWDC will have the same number, referring to the year during which it will mainly be updated: 2026.
So, instead of iOS 19, we will see iOS 26, alongside Watchos 26, MacOS 26, iPados 26 and TVOS26. The greatest number of jumps will come with the pro vision which will go from Visionos 2 to Visionos 26. More details here.
iOS 26: The new design
We are a week, and it seems that the software will be designed alongside new versions of iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Vision Pro and Apple TV operating systems, all designed to be much more similar to each other and offer a more consistent feeling between the devices.
The internal code name for the software is the solarium, which evokes images of brightness and sunlight – although many code names are selected at random, it is worth recalled. However, if he takes his design signals of pro vision, as has been reported, there will be a light and translucent look on things.
iOS 26: The upgraded keys
According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg in his last Power on NewsletterThere will be many changes beyond the design update. Expect to see new iPad features to rely on its productivity capacities, which does it more like the Mac. Apple should open its Apple Intelligence models to developers “which will allow them to integrate technology into their own applications”, explains Gurman.
There will be productivity updates neat on all platforms, such as facilitating the sharing of Wi-Fi connection details on all your devices, “a practical improvement for connection in gymnasiums and hotels,” he said. However, and I don’t want to be controversial here, but shouldn’t you do other things at the gymnasium rather than signing several gadgets?
IOS 26: battery life
There is much more to come, including a calligraphy pen for the Apple pencil and the live translation for AirPods, but I am really distinguished: a battery management configuration supplied by the AI which will make the devices last between the loads.
This alone means that I cannot wait for the new operating system to land. The announcement is a few days old, then the Betas of the software developer will arrive, with the first public version expected in July and the general release in September.
