Apple announced the upcoming iOS 26 software for iPhone back on June 9, 2025, with a revamped Liquid Glass look and a host of new features. Since then, we’ve seen even more upgrades added to the iOS 26 that weren’t mentioned during the announcement. AppleDynamic wallpaper: like iOS 18 before it, iOS 26 has added a dynamic wallpaper option during the beta, so the color of your iPhone’s backdrop can slowly change during the day. Liquid Glass tweaks: iOS 26 looks a lot different to iOS 18, and this look has been continually tweaked during the beta, including more transparency on the lock screen. Add in all the bug fixes that Apple has rolled out over the last couple of months, and iOS 26 is just about ready to go.
