iOS 26 marks a significant shift in Apple’s software approach.

By default, app icons have a new layered glass look that gives them dimension, but there's also a new option for "clear" glass-like icons.

Instead of the opaque windows and menu bars we’ve grown accustomed to for years, Apple products will be united through an amorphous glass-like interface.

Apple’s iOS 26 is packed with customization, intelligence, and design upgrades that will transform how you interact with your iPhone daily.

iOS 18 is skipping to iOS 26, as opposed to introducing iOS 19.

For instance, it’s redesigned the iPhone’s phone app, but it’ll also be available on macOS Tahoe as well.
