iOS 26

iOS 26.1 is the first big update to Apple’s major operating system release, and as of today, the third developer beta version has arrived for testing.

iOS 26.1 is coming soon, and possibly iOS 26.0.2 before that. But an anonymous X account with a proven track record of leaking Apple software updates indicates there might be a new version of the already-released iOS 26.0.1 coming too.

After releasing iOS 26 to the general public around a month ago, Apple is now preparing its second bug fix update for its new software release.

In 2017, Apple launched a brand new app called Clips, a creative video app that originally could only make square aspect ratio movies. It had fun effects, automatic subtitle captions, and more. However, in a world of social video apps like TikTok, Clips never really gained traction.

After being dormant in the App Store for a while now, the company is finally pulling the plug. As confirmed by a new support document, Clips is no longer getting any app updates and has been pulled from the App Store.

Apple Notes gets more powerful every year, and iOS 26 brought its own batch of new features. With new capabilities comes the threat of feature bloat, but Notes has a clever solution that makes its ever-growing set of tools more easily accessible in iOS 26.

Apple has released a new software update for iPhone: iOS 26.0.1 is now available for download. Here’s what’s new.

iOS 26 includes multiple new Apple Intelligence features, but one of the biggest changes is that Apple has opened up its AI models to third-party developers. This allows third-party apps to plug directly into Apple’s on-device Found Models.

In a new press release today, Apple highlights several popular third-party developers who have leveraged the new Foundation Models framework to power new features in their apps.

Update September 27, 2025: We’re still waiting on Apple to release iOS 26.0.1 to everyone, but it seems very close. An anonymous account on X indicates the update will feature the build number 23A355. I’d expect the update to be released in the next several days.

There have also been recent reports of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and CarPlay problems for iPhone 17 users. Hopefully, iOS 26.0.1 will fix those problems.
