Three Days Until iOS 26 Launch: What Are You Most Looking Forward To?

Like I said, if Apple doesn't get live translation right after a couple of attempts, I will definitely be looking at either swapping out my iPhone for something else, or getting a Google device specifically for live translation. When I was in China, I almost bought a dedicated translation device I found at a bookstore there (very small, with good mic and speaker) that I discovered (not too surprisingly) just used Google Translate. So, excited no matter who gets my next purchase. Maybe it will be "iO" from OpenAI. It seems localized LLMs should be particularly good at very fast on-device translation.
Me, all of the bugs that again this year won't be fixed.
Nothing is interesting at all in this iOS update for me. The iPadOS update on the other hand is more interesting. WatchOS is probably the OS that needs the most work, and keeps me on a Garmin watch instead of returning to an Apple Watch.
I feel the liquid glass OS is a strategic stepping stone by Apple to get to something else. Perhaps an augmented reality centric series of products?

Ah come on, you are going to update as well
I will eventually update but will wait to see how it runs on my iPhone model and wait for at least a few minor updates.
I’m not looking forward to it. Seems like iOS is the most polished of their 26 operating systems but the others are a dam mess, especially Mac OS. I’ll wait a long time to upgrade any of them and I’m restoring my iPad so I can get it off the beta and back onto the previous version
You can still downgrade if you factory reset. This won’t be available for long so you might want to do it ASAP
Sometimes their outgoing number is different from their incoming number. And sometimes they have multiple
I've been enjoying iPadOS 26 since the public beta came out on my M2 iPad Air.
I usually never install beats on my phone or watch, but since I have an orange 17PM to pickup next week Friday, I decided to install the RC on my 13PM and my Ultra 2 and I am really liking it. Used it this morning for a couple hours outside and no issues there either, so I'm all in.

Definitely on the gone-too-far and impacting readability side of things: Apple's designs (both software and hardware) have often (not always) negatively impacted usability for the past 15 years, so why does it surprise us that this continues to happen? Sure, they occasionally get something right again, but mostly they just get things wrong time and time again; or do something wrong and then stick with it rather than correcting the issue. Even during the second Jobs era this was sometimes a problem; with products like the hockey puck mouse being far less intuitive to use than a mouse should be. Apple isn't perfect, never has been perfect, and it's pure fanboyism to pretend otherwise. I hope Apple someday returns to the level of a simple, clear, usable, consistent, highly-visible UI layered over top of immense stability and power that OSX brought us, but I do not anticipate that this will happen anytime soon. They are flailing, like Microsoft use to flail, which is a real shame. I think it is pretty clear Apple knows this with the inclusion of multiple designs the end user to can choose from (at least for now). That's a good compromise, but even the best of them still lacks the visibility and clarity of older UI designs.
(Full disclosure, I have used Tahoe beta and tried the theme there, but I also use to run the Glassklart(??) theme back in the day on jailbroken phones. I think the glass design is lovely; but I also wouldn't ever suggest it as a well done, usable, UI design. It's freaking *terrible* from a usability standpoint. Lovely (in my opinion)? Yes! A good UI design? Heck no!)

You can. Cmd-C for copying the file/folder, go to destination, cmd-option-v moves the file/folder there.
I got a notice to upgrade to iOS 26 Friday morning at 8:00 AM EST, so I did. Am I missing something here?
Any Apple worker there?!
(forget feedback app, no body see reports)
iPadOS 26 RC running on iPad Pro 11 (2018):
(from first beta and not fixed!!)
- Still ask me for past permission everytime
- Keyboard of iOS apps running on iPadOS using wrong chars
(i’m typing ‘a’ and ‘e’)
- Overlaped icons on Safari
Exactly! I've absolutely had nurses call from numbers that aren't the main line of a doctor's office or an unknown number. Stopping unknown callers from ringing was never an option for me either.
I’ve forgotten all the features now 😭 I will have to watch some videos before tomorrow to refresh. However off the top of my head the improved file system on the iPad. The current file system is appalling so any improvement will be welcome. Also the hypertension notifications on the Apple Watch. Live translation on the AirPods.
Call screening on the iPhone and the call hold feature.
Edit:I’m going to read through this thread to refresh my memory.

Oh yes I forget about his one. The call screening and hold feature are going to be so useful to me. Another feature I saw on the pixel years ago that I’m so happy to finally have on the iPhone.

Wow that is going to be a bumper upgrade for you. To be honest I’m kind of jealous.
