9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2026-03-21 21:50:31

I’m fortunate enough to be in Cupertino this week for WWDC. For me, things kicked off on Sunday, when I had the honor of visiting Apple Park to watch a selection of this year’s Swift Student Challenge Distinguished Winners present their apps to Apple executives. Marina Lee, a senior at the University of Southern California studying Computer Science, is one of the Swift Student Challenge Distinguished Winners from the United States.

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2026-03-21 21:50:24

Liquid Glass design The most obvious change is essentially a new theme that mirrors Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language used on iPhone.

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2026-03-22 05:35:50

So, Apple just held its annual WWDC conference where it announces all the new software for the next year. And the company proudly announced the next version of iOS for the iPhone, iOS 26. If you have an iPhone model newer than the XS, you will be able to update to iOS 26 for free later this year. But the current version number of iOS is iOS 18. So what happened to iOS 19? Why did Apple jump to 26? The simple reason is that OS version numbers are based on marketing rather than hard science, and

iPhone battery settings get a nice update in iOS 26, including a new intelligent battery saver mode called Adaptive Power. The iPhone will also now track extra battery stats, like your average power consumption throughout the day. But perhaps the most notable enhancement is that the iPhone can now tell you exactly how long it will take for your battery to charge.

We have an actual multitasking window manager, new menu toolbars, better background tasks, and a revamped files app. All this has transformed how people will view iPads moving forward.

Apple categorically denies Siri vaporware claims, and offers a better explanation [Video]

Siri got lots of airtime at last year's WWDC – but not this year There’s no denying that Apple made a major mis-step when it showed off impressive new Siri features during last year’s WWDC, before doubling-down in an iPhone 16 ad. The company was forced to delete the ad and walk back the timing. That led even the most upbeat of Apple commenters to criticize the company for showing off “vaporware,” implying that the demos had been faked.
