Apple is set to release iOS 26 next week, offering users a range of new features for their iPhones. The update, announced at the WWDC showcase in June, will debut on September 15. Once installed, iOS 26 will bring a fresh look named Liquid Glass, providing a glossy aesthetic. Notable additions include a revamped Lock Screen that adapts the clock to available display space, as well as a new feature called Call Screening to deter unwanted calls.

It’s important to note that not all iPhone models are compatible with iOS 26. Compatible devices include the iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16, iPhone 16e, iPhone 15 series, iPhone 14 series, iPhone 13 series, iPhone 12 series, and iPhone 11 series.
