iOS 26 public beta 2 is now available to download: Everything to know about Apple's iPhone updates

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-25 08:48:05

At the iPhone event expected next month (here's what to expect), Apple will finally announce when we can download iOS 26 on our iPhones. Until then, you can download and install the newly released public beta 2 (or iOS 26 developer beta 6 for developers). I've been playing around with it for the past couple of weeks, and have found that taking screenshots is way better in the new operating system — Google and ChatGPT search options are now in the screenshots editor, for instance.

The iPhone 16 Pro, Google Pixel 9 Pro and Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra, share many things, from their amazing performance to their incredible camera setups. Throw in their huge, vibrant displays and the host of funky new AI skills and it's no surprise that these flagship phones are all among the best phones you can buy in 2025. It's also no surprise that these fan-favorite phones have something else in common, too: massive prices tags. Costing $1,000 and more, today's best phones are out of reach

This is Part 2 of my LLM series. In Part 1, I discussed how in just a few short years, we went from the childlike joy of creating “Pirate Poetry” to the despair that our jobs would disappear. My main message was to relax a bit, as companies abuse the hype cycle to distort what is actually happening. In this post I want to talk about how we fall prey to this distortion: we perceive LLMs as intelligent when they aren’t. A recent post from Jeppe Stricker put me on this path. He wrote, “AI produces
