iOS and iPadOS Improvements Galore!

For iOS 26, users can look forward to an upgraded battery management system, enhancements to the camera app, improved integration with ChatGPT, and updates for AirPods features. iPadOS 26 is set to become a productivity powerhouse with a revamped Files app, the long-awaited Preview feature, and significant enhancements to window management.

macOS Gets a Major Overhaul

macOS is not left behind either, with noteworthy updates that include a new Phone app, Clipboard History functionality, and an overhauled Spotlight search feature.

Caution: Beta Testing Ahead!

It’s worth noting that Apple is also testing current-gen updates alongside the 26 betas, such as iOS 18.6 and macOS 15.6. However, AppleInsider and Apple strongly advise against using beta software on your primary devices due to the risk of data loss and potential issues that frequently arise in these early versions.

For Curious Users: Wait for Public Betas!

For those eager to experience the new features, it's best to wait for the public beta release, expected to start circulating in July. This version tends to be more stable and safer for everyday use.
