Apple is set to roll out the much-anticipated iOS 26 update on September 15, delivering a host of new features to iPhone users worldwide. The update, initially announced at the WWDC event in June, introduces a sleek new design called Liquid Glass, offering a glossy look across the system.
Among the key enhancements in iOS 26 is a revamped Lock Screen where the clock dynamically adjusts based on available screen space. Additionally, users can now benefit from a new Call Screening feature to combat unwanted calls, ensuring only identified callers reach through.
For frequent travelers, iOS 26 introduces real-time translation for calls and texts, enabling users to understand conversations in various languages instantly. The update brings a range of other improvements and details can be found on Apple’s official release notes.
While Apple typically does not specify exact release times, historical patterns suggest a likely rollout around 6pm. However, it’s important to note that not all iPhone models are compatible with iOS 26. The list of supported devices includes iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16, iPhone 16e, and several other models down to iPhone 11 series.
The announcement of the iOS 26 launch coincided with Apple’s unveiling of the iPhone 17 during a dedicated event. For more information on the latest Apple products and updates, stay tuned for further coverage.
