iOS 26 For iPhone: 7 Key Upgrade Predictions, Just Hours Away

Apple's big software developers' conference, WWDC25, is due to open soon, at 10 a.m. Pacific on Monday, June 9, to be precise. There will be new software for the iPhone, believed to be called iOS 26, for iPad (iPadOS 26), macOS 26 for the Mac, and so on. Here's what's thought to be coming for the iPhone (and here's when you can install it for yourself). This year's WWDC is almost here. Apple More features are coming and it's thought these will include upgraded intelligence models to power Genmoji, Writing Tools and summarization — which is currently missing from News apps, so we can hope this will return. It's also thought that Apple will open its on-device foundation models to developers. This could be remarkable. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, 'Apple is preparing a battery optimization mode that uses AI to save power on its iPhones. This functionality may come later, though, as it was developed in concert with the company's slimmer iPhone 17 model, which isn't slated for release until later this year. The technology is well-suited to that device since the phone is going to have a smaller battery,' he said. In other words, something to look forward to, but almost certainly not just yet. There has been talk of the new design, something thought to take inspiration from the menus and interface of Apple Vision Pro with their translucent, glass-like effects. The big question was: are app icons about to become circular? Gurman says no, though they may change from how they are now. Full details of this here. The Translate app is about to get a big upgrade, again, according to Mark Gurman, as part of 'a systemwide push into translation. The …Translate app …functionality is getting integrated across its operating systems,' Gurman says. Uses include live translation of phone calls and text messages and AirPods users will get something similar at some point — read about that here. If you've been thinking of switching to WhatsApp, Apple wants to tempt you to stay with Messages by adding the capability to set background images, which will sync between devices, including the people you're chatting to. It's possible that further changes to RCS integration will also come, offering much more secure messages between iPhones and Android phones. The Camera app will be updated to make it look simpler to use, after successive additions of features and options led to an interface some found a bit clunky. Mac users know that Preview is a splendidly useful app, especially for managing documents and PDFs, for instance. 'The software looks similar to the Mac version, and its launch screen is in the same style as apps like Pages and Keynote,' Gurman claims. There are many more than seven upgrades coming, of course. I've tried to pick some which will likely be front-and-center in the keynote, as well as some more peripheral items. Check back for more coverage before and after the keynote happens.

Apple teases iOS redesign in WWDC 25 clip

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Quick Summary Apple's changes to iOS may be clearer after a new tease. We're expecting something inspired by the Apple Vision Pro. It's a jubilant time of year of year for Apple fans. The brand will be hosting its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on Monday 9th June. That event has historically played host to a wide range of new software and operating system-based goodies. The brand often utilises its opening keynote speech as a platform to introduce new software for every part of its portfolio. All of the rumours and leaks so far have pointed to a new design, which will take on the glass-like aesthetic seen in the Apple Vision Pro's VisionOS. And the latest teaser from the brand seems to support that theory. The WWDC website has been changed to offer a new tagline. That reads 'Sleek Peak' and is topped by an Apple logo which appears to be made from frosted glass. It should be an exciting update. Everything in the in the Apple catalogue from the Apple Watch to the iPad and the iPhone to the Mac is expected to receive the update, and we'd expect them all to make use of this theme in some way. I think that's a much needed update. The brand has always been known for sleek, classy and minimal designs, and this embodies that perfectly. Keeping the design consistent across all of its products would also help to tie the entire ecosystem together a little more. It's not the only big change expected either. Earlier rumours suggested that the brand is set to change the numbering convention of its software, to better align with the year. That means that we'll see all of the various operating systems released as xOS 26 this time out. There's not too much else to go on right now – Apple has always been pretty good at keeping things under wraps. Still, with less than a week to go before the show takes place, there's not much longer to wait for the news direct from the source.
