OS 26 isn't quite ready to launch yet, but we're far enough along in the testing process that Apple is seeding the update out to millions

According to Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter, Apple is prioritizing iOS 27 development with a focus on features tailored to the upcoming foldable device, which is reportedly set to debut next year. Despite the shift in priorities, Gurman says users shouldn’t worry about a lack of user interface innovation in iOS 27.

In celebration of World Emoji Day on July 17, the Unicode Consortium previewed some of the new emoji that will be coming with Unicode 17.0.

Apple packed iOS 18 with new features and flashy upgrades, but not all of them are improvements. Some settings may sound useful in theory but end up creating more friction than convenience once you actually start using them.

In a drastic legal step that will have set alarm bells ringing throughout the tech rumorsphere, Apple has sued the YouTuber Jon Prosser for leaking information about iOS 26 ahead of its launch. Or, more specifically, for the methods he allegedly used to obtain that information.
