Apple’s certainly putting a lot of effort into overhauling the iPhone's look in its upcoming iOS 26 release, which should officially arrive this fall alongside its iPhone 17 announcement. In the interim, though, I’ve been using the iOS 26 developer beta to get a sneak peek into what Apple’s packing into its iPhone software update.
I will say that I’m particularly happy that the iPhone Camera app is getting a big makeover, but I’m even more excited about one particular change that makes it much more conducive to my workflow when shooting photos and videos. In addition to adopting all the visual elements of Apple's new Liquid Glass interface, the iOS 26 camera app is filled with new features that finally elevates it to nearly the same usability I get in some of the best Android phones and their camera apps.
