An updated iOS brings updated possibilities, and there are plenty of those to explore in iOS 26, the iPhone software update Apple previewed this week at WWDC 2025. But as with any update, some new iOS features stand out from the rest.
I've been covering the iPhone long enough to know that it's next to impossible to get a full read on a software update until you've spent some time with it. That's simply not possible at the moment, even if you can download the iOS 26 developer beta. While that might give you a taste of what's coming later this year when the full release arrives, any beta at this early stage is bound to be a little rough around the edges.
