My mornings have been a little rough since switching to iOS 26. I’d often sleep past my alarm, wondering why the “snooze” I usually rely on didn’t go off on my iPhone. It seems I’m not alone in my woes, and the new alarm design is to blame.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was easy to accidentally smack “stop alarm” instead of “snooze” with both buttons now on top of each other. My myopia doesn’t help the situation, because I can’t see squat when I wake up without my glasses on. But those bleary-eyed problems are fixed with the iOS 26.1 update<\/a> that forces you to slide a finger to stop an alarm. (If you hate the slider, you can change it back under accessibility settings<\/a>.) \u00a0<\/p>\n But there’s more reason to not snooze on this iPhone update. In this week’s episode of One More Thing, embedded above, I go over the biggest changes in iOS 26.1<\/a>, including ways to lessen the opacity of Apple’s Liquid Glass menus if you’d prefer more of a “frosted” glass look.\u00a0<\/p>\n And Apple’s design shifts this week go beyond the iPhone. If you fire up Apple TV — perhaps to catch the premiere of Pluribus<\/a>\u00a0—\u00a0you’ll notice a new colorful Apple TV logo<\/a>. And Apple retail stores are said to be getting a little refresh in their displays next week<\/a>.<\/p>\n It’s no surprise Apple is sprucing up its look with Apple’s 50th anniversary right around the corner<\/a>. Things will certainly get a little snazzy over the next few months \u2014 and maybe Apple TV logos are just the start.<\/p>\n
