Apple released the second public beta of iOS 26 on Thursday, and the beta brings a new Liquid Glass design, call screening and more features to the iPhones of developers and beta testers. The beta also introduces a redesigned Camera app that simplifies some aspects of the app. The Camera app revamp also inverts how you switch between different camera modes, like video, and it's horrible.

With macOS Tahoe, Apple will be adding a bunch of new screen saver options, which you can also set as wallpapers. There are a couple new variants of the previously introduced Tahoe screen saver in beta 5, as well as around a dozen other options introduced in a previous beta that flew under the radar. As a Mac user, I’ve always really enjoyed all of the real world wallpapers built into macOS. It was a bit disappointing when macOS Monterey and Ventura didn’t include real world wallpapers to repre

Now users are being informed that the beta is slated to end as 2026 gets started.
