With the launch of Apple\u2019s new slate of iPhone 17s<\/a>, iOS 26<\/a> is finally here\u00a0for real.\u00a0While we\u2019ve had developer and beta versions since the summer following WWDC in June<\/a>, this is the first official version that brings Liquid Glass<\/a> to an entirely new generation of iPhones. According to Apple, iOS 26 will be available to everyone on Sept. 15, and will bring some new non-visual tweaks in addition to a new look.<\/p>\n

Among those new features are Visual Intelligence, which allows AI to both see and interact with your iPhone screen, a live translation feature that\u2019s integrated into the Messages, FaceTime, and Phone apps, and a new, streamlined Camera app that should make it easier to switch between video and still photo modes.<\/p>\n

While those might be nice to have, I\u2019m most interested to see how people react to Liquid Glass in its final form and whether Apple\u2019s big risk on changing the face of iOS 26 pays off. It\u2019s worth noting that if you don\u2019t want the new, glassy look, you can just turn it off in accessibility settings. I, for one, am going to be giving Liquid Glass a shot, though it\u2019s nice to know that if it\u2019s not getting the job done, I can just go back to basics.<\/p>\n

Either way, this will be a big test for Apple in its effort to steer a new generation of iPhones into the future and pioneer a new look along with them. iOS 26 isn\u2019t the only platform getting a makeover, either. The rest of Apple\u2019s software is also getting a revamp, and, according to Apple, those \u201c26\u201d versions will also be ready on Sept 15. That includes iPadOS 26, macOS 26, and watchOS 26. It\u2019s finally time to get glassy, folks\u2014beta-free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the launch of Apple\u2019s new slate of iPhone 17s, iOS 26 is finally here\u00a0for real.\u00a0While we\u2019ve had…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":133901,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[1572,40908,49,48,191,1575,190,61],"class_list":{"0":"post-133900","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-apple-event","10":"tag-ca","11":"tag-canada","12":"tag-ios-26","13":"tag-iphone","14":"tag-mobile","15":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133900","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133900"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133900\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/133901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
