This New iOS 26 Battery Feature Could Extend Your iPhone's Daily Power

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-20 06:03:03

I don't know anyone who's satisfied with their phone's battery life. We always want more power so we don't wind up with a tapped-out phone at the end of the day or the need to carry a portable charger everywhere. So I'm very curious to see how Adaptive Power affects iPhone battery life when iOS 26 is released, likely soon after the iPhone 17 is announced at Apple's Sept. 9 fall event. Currently, the iPhone uses as much power as it needs to perform its tasks. You can extend the battery life by d

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-21 14:56:56

In just over a week, the Apple iPhone 17 event will be here — it's Tuesday, September 9 — and we'll finally get to see the new iPhone 17 lineup. Assuming Apple sticks to tradition, we should be able to install iOS 26 roughly one week after the event. But you don't have to wait to test out the new features because you can download and install the newly released public beta 5 (or iOS 26 developer beta 8 for developers).

iOS 18.6.2 won’t let you downgrade, as Apple stops signing 18.6.1

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-10-22 07:59:52

Last week, Apple released its latest iPhone update: iOS 18.6.2. And now a little over one week later, the company has stopped signing its prior release, iOS 18.6.1, removing any options for downgrading. iOS 26 is right around the corner, and with it a major Liquid Glass redesign and tons of new features. But for now, the latest iPhone update is iOS 18.6.2. And that software release came with only one change that we’re aware of: a critical security fix related to the ImageIO system framework. I

Among the handful of Notes changes in iOS 26, the app now works better than ever with Markdown thanks to import and export support for my go-to writing tool.

iOS 26 fixed the Photos app and it’s more powerful than ever

9to5mac.com Fernando Silva 2025-10-24 05:44:03

Last year, with iOS 18, Apple tried to shake up the Photos App by making it more streamlined. They put everything under one view, and for most people, it was a flop. Instead of making it simpler to navigate, it was actually even more tedious to use. It felt like nothing really had its own place, and everything was just on one never-ending page.

Google Photos adds image background removal for custom stickers, only on iOS

9to5mac.com Ben Schoon 2025-10-24 07:07:43

Google Photos is rolling out support for making custom stickers from your photos, but it only works on iOS with seemingly no plans to bring it to Android. If you open up certain photos in your Google Photos library on iOS, you might notice the ability to turn those photos into a sticker by removing the background. A ring around the photo subject will appear after a second or two, indicating that you can use the photo to make a sticker. After that, you can either copy it to your clipboard or sha

Live Activities have become one of the best iPhone features, and they’re getting even better in iOS 26. Here’s what’s new. Scheduling Live Activities for later Last year, Apple’s Sports app gained support for scheduling Live Activities so that they automatically trigger when a game starts.
