Apple products and update 26 likely 09/15/2025

 

Version 26 (iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe, watchOS 26, visionOS 26, and tvOS 26) for various Apple products is due to be released on 09/15/2025. Typically this occurs around 1 PM Eastern time. An overview of the new features can be found at https://www.apple.com/in/os/. Note that along the top you can select specific device types and see the features specific to the device.

Some older devices may not be eligible for the update. For example, for iPads, I found that only iPads 8th generation or later will be eligible.

Not a fan of the naming scheme

I'm not sure what's up with companies wanting to mess up with names everywhere (Intel, Apple, AMD). The features look nice, it's interesting how Apple is gaining the feature-rich qualities of Android, but Android is becoming more locked down like Apple. Looks like my phone only going up to Android 16 is a blessing in disguise considering how bad the OS is becoming.
