Without drawing out the inevitable, Apple officially announced its big rebrand with iOS 26 taken off the wraps during its WWDC 2025 keynote. Apple’s choice to switch up the naming convention of its mobile software comes as no surprise, as there have been numerous reports about the big switch to a calendar year convention.
Apple’s latest iPhone software has to offer, but oddly enough Apple Intelligence briefly came up in the conversation — early on with Apple saying that it'll share more news in the coming year about them. Despite this big surprise, there’s the big visual makeover with iOS 26 that Apple calls Liquid Glass. It's the biggest visual change since iOS 7 and aims to unify the look and feel of its software across its entire device portfolio.
