There’s some great new features coming to the iPhone.

- 

The forthcoming iOS 26 is a major update that brings a beautiful new design, intelligent experiences and improvements to the apps you rely on every day. The new design provides a more expressive and delightful experience across the system while maintaining the instant familiarity of iOS. Integrated throughout the system and built with privacy from the ground up, Apple Intelligence gets even more capable. Updates to the Phone and Messages apps help you stay connected while eliminating distractions like unwanted calls. iOS 26 also introduces new features in CarPlay, Apple Music, Maps and Wallet, as well as Apple Games, a brand-new app that gives players a single destination for all their games.

A beautiful new look

The new design makes apps and system experiences more expressive and delightful, while keeping iOS instantly familiar. It's crafted with Liquid Glass — a new translucent material that reflects and refracts its surroundings, bringing greater focus to content, and delivering a new level of vitality across controls, navigation, app icons, widgets and more. The new design extends to the Home Screen and Lock Screen, making them more personal and expressive than ever. Liquid Glass also brings new customisation options to app icons and widgets, including a stunning clear look.
