ios 26

Apple has released the latest beta versions of its operating systems to developers – iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26. Among the changes are the return of Apple Intelligence news summaries which was the subject of controversy several months ago.

With the first public (non-developer) beta versions expected to land in the next week or so, these developer previews give us a very good idea of what to expect. As such, the appearance of Apple Intelligence news summaries and tweaks to Liquid Glass are very much in line with what we’d expect at this stage.

Apple’s design refresh for iOS 26 has been making a big excitement since its reveal, but not all the users’ reactions were positive,  especially when it came to the new Liquid Glass Control Center. Some early testers quickly found themselves squinting at their screens, struggling to read essential things and sliders through a nearly transparent sheet.

Thankfully, it seems Apple was listening: the newly released second developer beta brings a key update that resolves this issue easily.
