Apple released iOS 26 in early July with several system and security enhancements across iPhone models. New features included improved Wi-Fi connectivity, expanded Lock Screen customization, and safety protections such as automatic FaceTime video freezing when nudity is detected and advanced spam call filtering. The update also introduced battery management tools, including charging time estimates and power-saving features to address battery drain. However, not all iPhones qualified for the complete feature set, with some older models excluded from certain capabilities.
