iOS 26: Apple brings smart visual tools for screenshots and quick actions

Apple's iOS 26 update introduces three new smart visual tools that enhance the screenshot experience on iPhones equipped with Apple Intelligence. The tools — Add to Calendar, Image Search, and Ask ChatGPT — are designed to make screenshots more interactive and useful by enabling users to take actions based on the content with just a few taps. The goal is to simplify everyday tasks like scheduling, shopping, and getting instant information.
Add to Calendar
When you take a screenshot that includes information about an upcoming event — like a concert, meeting, or dinner — you'll now see an Add to Calendar option appear at the bottom. This tool automatically extracts relevant event details from the screenshot and suggests creating a calendar entry. You simply tap to confirm and save it, eliminating the need for manual input.
Image Search
The Image Search feature allows users to search for similar products or objects within a screenshot. Particularly helpful for shopping, users can highlight an item — such as a jacket, lamp, or piece of furniture — and receive visual search results from services like Google, Etsy, and other supported platforms.
Ask ChatGPT
With Ask ChatGPT, users can ask questions directly about their screenshot. After capturing the screen, a new 'Ask' button appears in the bottom-left corner. Users can type a question, and ChatGPT will analyse the image to provide relevant responses. You can also highlight specific portions of the screenshot to refine your query without needing to crop it manually.
iOS 26: What is new
In addition to the screenshot tools, iOS 26 introduces a refreshed Liquid Glass design, offering translucent and fluid interface elements for a modernised look. The update also enhances Apple Intelligence features with real-time audio and call translation and introduces improvements to core apps like Phone, Messages, and Music.

Apple iPhone 17 Pro price revealed in India: Check out the expected specifications, launch date, and more

iPhone 17 Pro price: Early price leaks for Apple's next iPhone 17 series have already made news before the device's anticipated 2025 release. There will be significant price discrepancies between the iPhone 17 Pro's variants, according to Apple reports, with the base model being reasonably priced to appeal to a larger worldwide market. With the upcoming iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max, Apple is anticipated to stick to its four-model approach. However, official pricing is still pending confirmation. These forecasts demonstrate Apple's ongoing efforts to maintain premium positioning while meeting consumer demands. Particularly in Tier 1 markets like the US, UK, UAE, and India, this leak provides early insight into what to expect in terms of pricing strategy for both Indian customers and international Apple devotees. iPhone 17 Pro launch date in India (Expected) It is projected that the iPhone 17 series will be on sale from September 8 to September 12. iPhone 17 Pro specifications (Rumoured) Performance Apple's next-generation A19 Bionic chip, which is purportedly constructed on a 2nm process—a first for Apple—is anticipated to power the iPhone 17 Pro. Better heat management, increased battery life, and enhanced performance should result from this. In order to help keep temperatures down while gaming or severe multitasking, the phone is reportedly said to have a vapour chamber cooling mechanism and 12GB of RAM. Regarding the software, iOS 26—which is presently undergoing beta testing—will come pre-installed on the iPhone 17 Pro. Design and new colour The iPhone 17 Pro will appear very different from its predecessor, if leaks are to be believed. A new horizontal camera island design with triangular-shaped lenses across the top of the rear panel is suggested by sources such as MacRumors. This might be the most daring design change Apple has made in a long time. Expect the standard colours of silver, black, grey, and dark blue in addition to a brand-new orange finish that looks like copper and could steal the show. Camera This time, photography is receiving a significant boost. It is anticipated that the iPhone 17 Pro would have a triple 48-megapixel camera configuration that includes telephoto, ultrawide, and primary sensors. With Fusion technology, Apple's image processing wizardry will continue to improve photo quality in a variety of lighting conditions. Picture enthusiasts can also celebrate as Apple may eventually switch to a 24-megapixel front camera, which would allow for crisper FaceTime chats and improved picture detail. iPhone 17 Pro price revealed (Leaks) It is anticipated that the iPhone 17 Pro would debut in India at a starting price of Rs 1,45,000. Storage capacities for this model will include 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. The Pro Max model, meanwhile, is probably going to start at Rs 1,60,000. The iPhone 17 is expected to launch in India for an initial price of Rs 79,900, according to pricing leaks for the device in other countries. A new model in this series, the iPhone 17 Air, would retail for about Rs 95,000 when it launches.
