With iOS 26, Apple unveiled a unified design language with translucent elements that mimic the look of real-world glass. Here's how it compares to iOS 18.

So as of 2025, all of Apple's OSes are named after the year they'll mostly cover. So after iOS 18 comes iOS 26, and after watchOS 11 comes watchOS 26, rather than iOS 19 or watchOS 12, as we initially assumed. The one small exception is macOS 26 Tahoe, which still gets its California-inspired name alongside its number.

Apple previewed iOS 26 and the all-new Apple Music experience. These are the seven new features available so far.
