Apple announced its new operating system updates, iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26 Tahoe, and others, featuring a major UI overhaul called "Liquid Glass". The updates roll out September 15th for most devices, with new iPhones shipping pre-installed. Key features include a redesigned Phone app, enhanced spam filtering, and customisable Messages backgrounds. While most devices maintain compatibility, macOS 26 significantly reduces Intel Mac support. Apple will offer security patches for previous OS versions for a limited time.
