iOS 26, launching in three days, features a controversial new Liquid Glass design with translucent UI elements and simplified navigation. While the design is the main talking point, the update also includes features like call screening, custom snooze durations, Genmoji creation, and live translation. User opinions on the Liquid Glass design are divided, with some finding it insufficiently translucent and others deeming it negatively impacts readability. Further details on iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe are available in separate roundups.
