The closer we get to Apple's reveal of the iPhone 17 lineup, the more excited we are to see what's different from the previous iPhones. The newest smartphones will come equipped with the latest iOS 26 features. Since we still have to wait at least a month (presumably) until the iPhone event, we can at least speculate what the new phones will look like. As with most unreleased iPhone models, rumors and leaks have trickled in about the hardware side ahead of the official introduction. Here's what

When Apple announced Live Translation at WWDC25, it highlighted use cases like FaceTime, phone calls, and messages. But one major use case was missing: real-world conversations. As it turns out, that was in the works too. New image hints at new AirPods gesture In today’s iOS 26 developer beta 6, we spotted a new system asset that appears to depict a gesture triggered by pressing both AirPods stems at once. The image displays text in English, Portuguese, French, and German, and it is associate

How Apple may revamp Siri to a voice assistant I'd actually use (and ditch Gemini for)

Kerry Wan/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways: An upgraded version of App Intents could make Siri the true hands-free iPhone companion. Apple is currently testing these Siri App Intents with a handful of third-party apps. The revamped Siri could ship in the spring of 2026, reports Bloomberg. When Apple first announced an upgraded and more capable Siri, every one of its users was reasonably excited. Unfortunately, that promise never happened, and the new Siri continues to be delayed.

Apple folds on one change to its new Camera app in latest iOS 26 beta

Apple has delighted many iOS 26 beta users while also potentially frustrating a few others by introducing a modification to the revamped Camera app. Two beta releases ago, Apple changed the swipe direction for switching shooting modes in the redesigned Camera app on iOS 26. Rather than swiping in the opposite direction of where you want the UI to move, as if you were rotating a physical dial beneath your finger, iOS 26 beta 4 instead moved the glass slider in the direction of your finger.
