"Apple will release some of the biggest software updates for its iPhone, iPad and smartwatch on Monday, radically changing the way icons, the lock screen and the system looks, as well as adding features for compatible devices. Announced at the company's developer conference in June, iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26 and macOS 26 Tahoe introduce Apple's new Liquid Glass design, giving everything a softer, more rounded and semi-transparent look that has proved divisive. Here's what you need to know about the updates."
"When can I get it? Downloads for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and macOS updates usually start at about 6pm UK time (1pm in New York; 3am in Sydney). Unlike other manufacturers, all eligible Apple devices will be able to download and install the update the moment it is released rather than in a staggered fashion. Which devices can get it? All Apple smartphones from 2019's iPhone 11 or newer can install iOS 26."
"How do I get it? Open the Settings app on an iPhone or iPad then navigate to General > Software Update. Tap install if available to download, verify and then reboot to finish. You can also install the update using a Mac or iTunes on a Windows computer. WatchOS 26 requires an iPhone 11 or later to be running iOS 26 first."
Major free updates iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26 and macOS 26 Tahoe will arrive on Monday and introduce the Liquid Glass design, altering icons, the lock screen and overall system visuals with softer, rounded, semi-transparent elements.
