Apple has released iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 Software Update for iPhone and iPad users

Yes, Apple released iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 on September 15, 2025, alongside the new iPhone 17 lineup. The company has adopted a new year-based naming convention, skipping from version 18 directly to 26 to align its software with the year it's primarily used. The headline feature is of course the Liquid Glass look, which has proved almost as controversial as the minimalist look of iOS 7 back in 2013. Apple has made some pretty substantial changes to the look of the operating system after beta testers complained about poor legibility and confusing design elements

Here’s a rundown of what’s new in iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 iOS 26 Features

Apple Intelligence and AI Live Translation: This feature provides automatic, on-device translation for text in Messages, spoken words in phone calls, and live captions during FaceTime calls. When used with compatible AirPods, it can also translate and vocalize speech in real-time. Visual Intelligence: Building on previous generations, this feature allows you to ask questions and take action on content that appears on your screen, including screenshots. Enhanced Genmoji and Image Playground: New generative AI tools provide more creative control for creating custom emoji and images.

  • Advanced ChatGPT integration: The system features deeper integration with the latest ChatGPT model for more capable and accurate responses. Communication and privacy

  • Enhanced Stage Manager: Improvements to Stage Manager allow for smoother app and window management, especially when a keyboard and trackpad are connected. 
  • Background Tasks with Live Activities: The system can now handle intensive background processes that continue via Live Activities. System and app enhancements 
  • Liquid Glass design: A new user interface aesthetic, inspired by visionOS, is applied across the system and apps, featuring a glass-like appearance and rounded visual elements. 
  • New app additions: iPadOS 26 introduces several new apps to the platform: 
  • Preview: A dedicated app for viewing and editing PDFs, with Apple Pencil Markup and AutoFill built in.
  • Games: A new central hub for gaming that replaces Game Center, tracking achievements and friend activity.

Paint On Galaxy Z Fold7 Phones Is Already Peeling Off, According To Consumers

The paint chipping issue reported by some Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 users appears to be a recurring problem that was also seen with the Z Fold 6. Despite users claiming they have not dropped their devices, paint delamination is occurring on the anodized aluminum body. Samsung’s support page for the Z Fold 6 suggests that poorly grounded third-party chargers can cause leakage currents, damaging the anodized finish and leading to paint chipping. This is why Samsung advises using only official chargers. However, since at least one affected user on Reddit reported using an official 25W Samsung charger, it raises concerns that the problem might not be solely due to third-party chargers. It could indicate potential issues with Samsung’s paint application process or possibly that their chargers might not fully prevent this damage under certain conditions. Received the phone and been using for almost a week. Treated the phone like a baby but the paint seems to start peeling off (sort of) day by ...
