'And again, you didn't have to go on an Apple Intelligence app to make that happen.
'It's just the experience is better.'

'But we all get spam, whether it's in our messages or our phone calls. And we're always looking for ways to deal with this.

Joz also points out that the current line-up of AI tricks is just the beginning.
Apple rarely talks about the

Greg said this latest redesign is even bigger than the iOS 7 makeover back in 2013

The makeover is called Liquid Glass and, as the name suggests, looks very glassy.
Senior Apple execs say the new icons and animations are so technically demanding, they wouldn't have been possible until recently.
'You're seeing content beneath this glass, this translucent glass, which reflects the light. All that is happening with no latency in real time,' Joz said.
'This is a big thing to do, right?

'And so it's not the kind of thing you want to do too often, right?
'It's kind of an opportunity that comes around every decade or so. The last time we did this was 2013, so 12 years ago with iOS 7.'
He added: 'This one is, in a lot of ways, even more ambitious.
Joz explained that iOS 7 was just about improving the design for iPhone.

But this revamp works to 'commonise' the look across almost all of Apple's gadgets.
'They do come from one company and one design time. It should feel that way, right?
'And it should feel more comfortable as you're using them or moving across our products.'
ON THE ROAD
Of course it's not just iPhones, iPads, and Macs getting upgraded – but your car too.

Apple CarPlay is also getting a Liquid Glass makeover

Apple is the tech titan behind CarPlay, the software that's now supported by almost every new car.
CarPlay launched back in 2014, and uses your iPhone to offer an infotainment system on your car's screen.
It can happen via a cable or even wirelessly, and gives you access to your apps, music, contacts and much more.
'It's a sigh of relief when you get in the car and you say: 'Oh my goodness, it has CarPlay.
23
CarPlay works using your iPhone – so the new features are coming as part of iOS 26

'You know automatically how to use everything – but it also has your content, which is great.
'You know how to use your maps, you want to listen to your music.'
He added: 'Many people are like you – they wouldn't be a car without CarPlay.'
CarPlay is extremely popular.
23
You'll be able to add widgets to your CarPlay screen for the first time

CarPlay will also support a special Liquid Glass Dark Mode

Joz noted that CarPlay is used a staggering 600 million times a day around the world.
'It is by far the most popular phone projection system in a car,' Joz said.
'We worked very hard to minimise glance time and to make sure that you didn't have to take your eyes off the road for longer than a couple seconds to get something done.
'And to be able to do things with your voice as much as possible – and to create a very simple user interface.
'To your point, it has become incredibly important to our users."
CarPlay is changing with iOS 26. For a start, it's getting the slick new Liquid Glass look.
But you'll be able to use Tapbacks for messages to quickly react, widgets for your screen with important info, and Live Activities (like a sports score).
Apple has also just (finally) debuted its next major version of CarPlay: CarPlay Ultra.

It's now available in new models from British motoring giant Aston Martin, but it's destined for more vehicles in the future too.
With CarPlay Ultra, it's not just replacing your infotainment screen, but much more.
'We're also bringing out that next generation of CarPlay, which we just brought out for the first time about a month ago,' Joz told The Sun.
'CarPlay is this beautiful ability to use the features of your phone.

'We wanted to have an experience with CarPlay Ultra that allows you – through that same interface that you can control your phone – to also control the aspects of your car
'Whether it's the seat heaters or the heating system in general, or even the car radio.
'Things that are outside of normal iPhone capabilities. To control these with CarPlay Ultra.
'We're very happy with the initial rollout of that. Some of the first vehicles started coming out last month. There's plenty more brands working on it.'
WHO IS APPLE'S 'JOZ'?
Here's Apple's official bio for Joz...

ONE MORE THING
The list of new features announced at Apple's WWDC event this week was enormous.
So I asked Joz what he thinks people might have missed.
And he gave a special shout-out to a long-demanded iPad change – a good reminder that it's not just iPhone owners getting free upgrades.
'People were very excited about us being able to bring a new windowing system to

'And again, doing it in an Apple sort of way.
'Which is: look, if you love the simple experience that your iPad has today and you want to continue with that, then great.
'But if you want to take it further and be able to use multiple windows and menus and all the things that come with that, then we enabled that in a very simple way for iPad users as well.
Apple is expected to roll out its new software upgrades later this year – this usually happens in September.

Joz has decades of experience at Apple, and is one of company chief Tim Cook's most trusted advisors

But we'd expect to see a public beta test version before then that you'll be able to download and try out before the full release.
So Apple fans, get those gadgets ready.

BYD brings EV price wars to small cars in Europe
BYD has launched its cheapest and smallest electric vehicle (EV) in the UK, as it takes Chinese carmakers' battle for affordability in Europe into a compact-car segment that has remained stubbornly reliant on the internal combustion engine. The Dolphin Surf, with a starting price of £18,650 (€21,874.03), is the British equivalent of BYD's popular Seagull hatchback, which is priced at less than £6,000 in China amid a price war in the world's largest car market. 'Compact cars are the next frontier for electrification in Europe,' BYD's executive vice-president Stella Li said at a recent launch event in Rome, noting the electric transition had been slower for small cars than for bigger sport utility vehicles. According to the International Energy Agency, of the 360 EV models available in Europe last year, only 33 were in the small car segment. An additional 23 compact models are expected to be launched this year. READ MORE Compact cars have taken longer to shift away from petrol engines due to thin profit margins and the difficulty of making them both affordable and moneymaking with the high price of batteries. BYD, the leading EV maker, announced an assault on the Japanese small-car market last month, with plans to release a low-cost battery-powered Kei car next year. The boxy minicar would be cheaper than the compact Dolphin, which sells for 2.9 million yen (€17,839) in Japan. [ New car owners increasingly opting for electric or hybrid over petrol or diesel Opens in new window ] Even before Dolphin Surf's European debut a few weeks earlier at a price below €23,000, rival compact EV offerings from the Renault 5 and Citroën ë-C3 to the Dacia Spring had already hit the markets with similar or lower prices. Chinese brands have adopted a pricing strategy in Europe that is more restrained than in their home market, especially with Brussels imposing higher tariffs on imports of Chinese-made EVs since last year. Still, BYD's expansion into all car segments in Europe is set to accelerate its overseas growth. The market share of BYD and other Chinese brands in the UK and on the continent has grown from 2.9 per cent in the first quarter of 2024 to 4.8 per cent in the first four months of 2025, according to Schmidt Automotive Research. Will rent reform make building apartments viable? Listen | 40:12 The UK, which has not imposed higher tariffs on Chinese EVs, now accounts for nearly a third of all Chinese-brand models entering western Europe. According to UK online marketplace Auto Trader, stocks of Chinese EVs for sale between January and April increased tenfold year-on-year, with more than 3,300 cars for sale. That represented nearly 3 per cent of new car stock for sale on the marketplace compared with 0.2 per cent a year earlier. Analysts say there is more room for prices to come down for smaller electric cars as western carmakers use cheaper lithium iron phosphate batteries to compete against Chinese rivals, which are increasing local production in Europe to avoid the tariffs. [ EV Q&A: Why doesn't Ireland use roadside furniture for charging electric vehicles? Opens in new window ] Renault and Volkswagen are using Chinese engineering expertise as well as components made in China to speed up vehicle development and lower the costs of compact EVs due to be launched next year. 'Once they start coming to the market, we will see price deflation,' said automotive analyst Matthias Schmidt. Cao Li, senior vice-president of Stellantis-backed Chinese carmaker Leapmotor, told journalists on Wednesday that the convergence of car prices for EVs and petrol cars was a broad trend in the European market. Some Chinese car executives fear the bruising price war in their home market could spill over into Europe. However, rising trade tensions between China and the European Union (EU) are seen as changing the pricing dynamics in Europe. Beijing and its carmakers have offered to introduce a system of voluntary price controls to replace the EU tariffs, but it remains unclear whether Brussels would accept this minimum pricing approach. People close to discussions said Beijing offered a €35,000 minimum regardless of the model in earlier negotiations. At that level, cheaper cars such as those offered by BYD and Leapmotor would be excluded from the market. But even if the price cuts are more limited in Europe, analysts say consumers will probably be drawn to Chinese offerings due to the high quality of their technology and software. BYD's Li recently told Belgian media, for example, that the Chinese group plans to bring its superfast charging technology to Europe within the next 12 months. While the price war in China is considered destructive for the domestic car industries in the UK and Europe, greater competition may help boost vehicle demand, which is still below pre-pandemic levels. 'Increasing levels of competition and some new standout performers now seen in our market will likely create wider pricing pressures that will be good for car buyers in the short term and which will hopefully also fuel further innovation and market growth in the midterm,' said Ian Plummer, commercial director at Auto Trader. – Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2025

Secret zero-effort iPhone hack helped me lose nearly 4 stone – it'll make your weight drop faster too
WITH constantly buzzing smartphones and gadgets around the house it's harder than ever to get a moment's peace from tech these days. And little do many people realise they have an impact on your weight too - unless you make some easy changes like I have. Advertisement 11 The Sun's Sean Keach before and after his impressive weight loss Credit: Sean Keach 11 Sean swears by an iPhone sleep hack that only takes three 'clicks' to switch on Credit: Sean Keach 11 Background Sounds is the best iPhone feature you've never heard of Credit: Apple / The Sun It's well-known that sleep and weight Any scientist will tell you a good night's kip is essential because it regulates the hormones affecting hunger and appetite. Advertisement Using a number of gadgets, I've been able to shed almost four stone. But to get that all important sleep, I tap my iPhone three times and I nod straight off, all thanks to a feature that almost no one knows about. Even if you've had an Gadgets are just too complicated these days to truly master. It's literally my job as The Sun's tech editor, and even I struggle to keep up. However, one feature you should be taking full advantage of is Background Sounds. Advertisement It's a special iPhone feature tucked deep inside your Accessibility settings. Unless you have a specific Accessibility need, there's a good chance you've never even looked in there. Background Sounds is meant to deliver soothing noises to you. Apples's big announcements from WWDC with a flurry new features for the gadgets you already own This can be while you're sleeping, but also while you're working, listening to a podcast, or doing almost anything. Apple explains: 'Play background sounds to mask unwanted environmental noise. Advertisement 'These sounds can minimise distractions and help you to focus, be calm, or rest.' There's a selection of different sounds on there, depending on your needs, and some clever ways to quickly activate the feature. The good news is that you don't need to go into Accessibility settings every single time. HOW TO SET UP First, go into Settings > Accessibility > Audio & Visual > Background Sounds. Now tap on Sound and choose one. I like Rain, but some people swear by Stream, or Fire, or the ominous but effective 'Dark Noise'. Advertisement The full list right now is: Balanced Noise Bright Noise Dark Noise Ocean Rain Stream Night Fire I don't know why I love rain so much. Maybe it's just in my nature as a Brit. There's probably a horrified Aussie out there who can only use Ocean and finds rain sounds terrifying. Now go back and select a volume for your background sound. You can also set it up to play when media is playing. 11 You'll find Background Sounds deep within your iPhone's Accessibility settings Credit: Apple / The Sun Advertisement This is great if you're trying to listen to a podcast in headphones somewhere noisy. It can help dim the din. You can have it so that the volume is lower with media, so it doesn't drown out what you're actually trying to listen to. Tap on Play Sample if you want to test the volume before committing. And finally, there's an option to Stop Sounds When Locked. 11 You can customise Background Sounds to work exactly as you'd like it Credit: Apple / The Sun Advertisement I keep that switched off, as I like using it for sleep. But it's your choice. HOW TO USE Once that's done, you can then choose how you want to activate your Background Sounds. My favourite way is with a triple-click of the Side Button (the one for locking your phone) to turn Background Sounds on or off. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut and then choose Background Sounds. 11 You can set up a quick shortcut for Background Sounds that activates the feature with a triple-click of your iPhone's Side Button Credit: Apple / The Sun Advertisement Then you're good to go. Another option is to add it to your Control Centre. That's the panel of quick-access icons that appears when you swipe down from the top-right corner of your iPhone (or from the bottom on older models with a Home Button). Tap on the plus symbol in the corner, add Background Sounds, and then you can tap the new icon whenever you need it. 11 I prefer Rain for Background Sounds, but you can try them all and see which one helps you get to the land of nod Credit: Apple / The Sun Advertisement I turn it on just before I go to bed if I'm feeling stressed, and it helps send me to the land of nod. But it's also a lifesaver in the office when it's noisy and I really need to finish writing a story about an iPhone feature called Background Sounds. Maybe you work from home and the neighbour's dog won't stop barking, or you want a bit of peace from colleagues on your lunch break. Just slap some Rain on and away you go. You're in the rainforest, a world apart from stress. ANOTHER SECRET BUTTON TO TRY... If you like the iPhone 'triple click' trick, wait until you try this... You can actually turn the Yes, that Apple logo on the rear isn't just for good looks. Go into Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap. Then you can set functions to So you could set Double Tap to Screenshot, allowing you to quickly snap a screengrab. And you could set Triple Tap to Shazam so you can work out what song is playing nearby with minimal faff. There are dozens of combinations to choose from, so pick what you like from the list. You can launch the camera, activate the torch, lock your phone's screen rotation, or even link it to your own custom "Shortcut". And if you decide you hate it, you can just turn it off again and your iPhone's rear will go back to normal. Picture Credit: Apple / The Sun Of course if you're trying to sleep, you don't need to wear headphones. You can have Background Sounds come straight out of your phone speaker. Advertisement But if you're at work, it's probably best to use headphones – or you risk having everyone reaching for their umbrellas on a sunny day. BONUS IPHONE SLEEP TRICKS If you're struggling to sleep, there are two other tricks I'd recommend. The first is called Sleep Focus, which is a variant of Do Not Disturb. 11 You can turn on Sleep Focus and get a good night's rest Credit: Apple / The Sun You can find your iPhone's Focus modes by going into Settings > Focus. Advertisement Now tap on Sleep and you'll find a whole selection of different options. They're all designed to help you sleep in peace – minus the distractions. So, for a start, you can set it to block all notifications. You won't be buzzed, and they'll remain hidden until you pop out of Sleep Focus in the morning – so they're not there right away. As well as that, you can add exceptions. Advertisement So I've set mine to allow notifications from my wife, brother, mum and dad to break through. That way I won't miss something important if there's an emergency. 11 Sleep Focus can be customised to block or allow notifications from specific people or apps Credit: Apple / The Sun When you're in Sleep Focus, you can set your iMessage up to show an alert to anyone texting you that you have notifications silenced. That way, they'll be put off from bothering you in the night – or at least know that you're not intentionally ignoring you. Advertisement You can set up a Sleep Focus schedule so that it kicks in automatically. And you can choose a zen colour for your Lock Screen background while in Sleep Focus – like a nighttime blue. It'll work across all of your Apple devices (if you have an To turn it on or off (if you don't want a schedule), just swipe into the Control Centre from the top-right of your screen, tap on the Do Not Disturb icon, and then choose Sleep Focus. My second trick is called StandBy Mode. Advertisement This one is easily missed, though there's a chance you've accidentally stumbled across it and not realised what's going on. 11 Your iPhone can function as a bedside table clock Credit: Sean Keach / The Sun If you place your iPhone on charge (plugged in or on a floating MagSafe magnetic charger) and turn it so it's horizontal (landscape orientation), StandBy Mode will kick in. This effectively turns your iPhone into a desk clock. It'll show the time and date, but you can customise it to include a calendar, or photos, or whatever else takes your fancy. Advertisement Then when your room gets dark, StandBy Mode 11 StandBy will shift to red when your iPhone is in the dark Credit: Apple That way, it doesn't strain your eyes in the night. It'll shut off and then wake up if it notices you moving, like if you're looking across to check the time. So it means your iPhone can double up as a bedside clock that doesn't strain your eyes, isn't constantly running, and won't take up extra space on the nightstand. Advertisement I use it every night, but loads of people have no idea this secret iPhone mode exists – all because the method of activating it isn't that obvious. Now you know, it'll be sweet dreams tonight. WEIGHT A IS GREAT! STAYING motivated is hard, The Sun's Sean Keach writes, even with the help of gadgets… The problem with gaining unwanted weight is that it usually doesn't happen all at once. It's a slow thickening over months and years – until one day you realise you're now very thick indeed, and have a lot of work to do. That's daunting. I remember the sinking feeling. I was 210lbs at 6ft, giving me a BMI of 28.5 – firmly in the "overweight" category. And if it took months to gain, it was probably going to take months to lose, I thought. But I had to remind myself that it wouldn't just be six or seven months of pure misery. There would be wins along the way. Thankfully I was right. I felt stairs become easier to climb and brisk walks could be brisker still. Jumpers and shirts that were just a little too tight suddenly looked how I'd hoped they would. Once-tight jeans were now loose, giving me a nice excuse to buy a fresh pair. They were knackered anyway. All of this – plus taking regular progress pictures and tracking the pounds – was fantastic motivation. So whether you've got weeks, months, or years ahead, just remember that there's plenty of joy to be had on the journey – long before you hit your goal.
