Apple Introduces iOS 26

Apple announced iOS 26 with a new Liquid Glass design. The interface has become glass-like, with reimagined elements. Icons remain square, the lock screen features a glass curtain with rounded corners, and icons have become semi-transparent.

Safari has been updated with a more intuitive interface. In the Camera app, features are hidden behind panels and pop-up menus, while the Phone app has fewer tabs. A new phone assistant can automatically answer calls, and iMessage gains new features with AI-generated backgrounds.

iOS 26 enables real-time call translation and includes a new API for integration with third-party services. Apple Music will offer song translations, and Apple Maps displays travel time from favorite locations.

The new Games app functions as an App Store for games, fully integrated with Game Center.
