Apple will at long last let you customize snooze times on alarms in iOS 26

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-16 15:15:01

We've been covering all the news Apple announced at WWDC 2025, but possibly the most exciting element coming to iOS 26 wasn't discussed on stage. The next update to the operating system will let people set custom snooze times. MacRumors reported that iOS 26 will offer anywhere from one to 15 minute snoozes that users can select when setting the alarm. For years, Apple has kept the snooze timing locked at nine minutes. If you wanted to doze at a different interval, you'd need to set separate ala

Apple’s Passwords app launched last year in iOS 18 as a new pre-installed password solution across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and more. iOS 26 changes for Passwords are pretty minimal, except there is one key fix that addresses my most common issue after a year of use. Passwords app now saves login version history in iOS 26 For years, Apple has offered password management tools on the iPhone and its other devices. But until iOS 18, those tools were always hidden away inside the Settings app. Fortunat

Apple confirms Siri’s delayed features won’t ship until 2026

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-09-17 07:25:28

In a new interview, Apple executives have narrowed the timeline of when to expect Siri’s delayed AI upgrades, confirming they will release in 2026 and no sooner. Here are the details. When Apple first delayed the new Siri features that were supposed to ship in iOS 18, it did so with a fairly vague updated timeline. The company said of the Siri upgrades: “we anticipate rolling them out in the coming year.” That was back in March. The language of “the coming year” left many wondering: did that

These 3 iOS Updates Are a Bigger Deal than Liquid Glass

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-17 14:00:16

Ever since downloading an early developer beta preview of iOS 26, my iPhone has more bounce, warble and bloop about it. The design changes coming to Apple gadgets have been a hot topic on social media. The new operating systems are adopting an interface style called Liquid Glass, revealed this week at the Worldwide Developers Conference, which transforms menus, apps and buttons into something of translucent jelly... with spunk.

In iOS 26, the Safari browser on iPhone has three different toolbar layouts to choose from

The iOS 26 Safari browser on iPhone evokes the new design system featuring Liquid Glass, with floating toolbars and buttons that shine through the web page content behind them as you scroll. Ever since the controversial iOS 15 Safari redesign, iPhone Safari has offered two layout modes ‘Tab Bar’ and ‘Single Tab’. In iOS 26, these are renamed to ‘Bottom’ and ‘Top’ respectively, and there’s a brand new default called ‘Compact’. While it should still feel familiar, all modes have received design c

How iPadOS 26 convinced me to switch from Mac to iPad full-time - and why I don't regret it

M3 iPad Air running iPadOS 26 Developer Beta. Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET My biggest takeaway from WWDC 2025 is that I can finally use my iPad Air to its full potential. For the longest time, the iPad has been a product that I've wanted to add to my workflow but couldn't due to its rigid operating system -- one that doesn't necessarily complement the iPad's flexible hardware.

ChatGPT gets crushed at chess by a 1 MHz Atari 2600

techspot.com Alfonso Maruccia 2025-09-16 15:50:00

Editor's take: Despite being hailed as the next step in the evolution of artificial intelligence, large language models are no smarter than a piece of rotten wood. Every now and then, some odd experiment or test reminds everyone that so-called "intelligent" AI doesn't actually exist if you're living outside a tech company's quarterly report. A cycle-exact emulation of the Atari 2600 CPU running at a meager 1.19 MHz is more than enough to utterly humiliate ChatGPT in a game of chess. Citrix engi

The 5 best iOS 26 features I want Android to copy ASAP

Joe Maring / Android Authority Well, Apple has done it. After releasing iOS 18 in 2024, this year’s iPhone update jumps up by eight to iOS 26. Not only is the new name significant, but thanks to Apple’s new Liquid Glass redesign, it’s also one of the most drastic iOS updates we’ve seen in years. While I hope the whole Liquid Glass thing stays far, far away from Android, there are some elements of iOS 26 that I actually quite like.

iOS 26 proves that Android still has a software update problem

Joe Maring / Android Authority This week’s iOS 26 announcement sure was an odd one, wasn’t it? Between the controversial Liquid Glass redesign and the big name jump from iOS 18 to iOS 26, this year’s iPhone update is already proving to be one of the most peculiar we’ve seen in a while.

As part of visionOS 26, Apple is overhauling the Personas feature for Apple Vision Pro users. Personas are the 3D avatars the system uses during FaceTime calls when the user is wearing the headset.
