Apple Announces iOS 26 With 'Liquid Glass' Design, Live Translation, Overhauled Phone App, and More

Nothing has improved for Books and Podcasts Recently, I took a plane and once again, my books were automatically moved to the cloud despite having plenty of free space on my iPad, so none were available offline. I don’t understand why this issue hasn’t been fixed yet.

This is extremely disappointing. It would take what, an hour to add pages read, time to finish chapter, and time to finish books into the app? Easy math and other reading apps have had them for a literal decade.

Only consolation is Apple ignores everything for years before big revisions so at least Books users aren't the redheaded step child.

Intresting. Even though they calling it ios26. When I used the app called system status Pro. It shows as ios 19.

@ Tim -- Adding transparency, making things thinner, and advancing OS numbering systems while screwing up Apple Intelligence doesn't make you more advanced.

Is anyone else embarrassed for Apple?

That looks nasty. It looks like a fan-made theme, where someone just discovered the transparency setting and went crazy with it

Oof. This is going to take some getting used too. I don’t like the transparency or the border around the keyboard at all.

This brings back vibes of skeuomorphism. Hope there will be an option to turn off transparency.

Windows Vista sure looks great!
