Apple’s Photos app underwent major changes last year in iOS 18. But this year in iOS 26, Photos has reversed course on the single biggest aspect of that overhaul: the tab bar is back. iOS 18 removed Photos’ tab bar, but iOS 26 brings it back iOS 26 brings redesigns to many Apple apps, such as the new, simplified Camera interface.

Why is it called iOS 26? What happened to iOS 19 for iPhone

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2026-03-21 09:35:50

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

iOS 26 tells you how long it will take for your iPhone battery to finish charging

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2026-03-21 11:10:02

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. Right at the top of your lock screen, when plugged in to power, your phone will now show the estimated time to charge until it hits 8

Research suggests Big Bang may have taken place inside a black hole

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe – a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if our universe emerged from something else – something more familiar and radical at the same time? In a new paper, published in Physical Review D, my colleagues and I propose a striking alternative.
