These hidden iOS 26 gems could be the best in the tech game

It’s no secret that Apple is a dominating giant in the tech sphere thanks to its iPhones, iMacs, and other products on offer.

But for those with Apple products like the iPhone, the new iOS 26 software update is set to make their devices more useful than ever before.

With perks such as Liquid Glass, the appearance of apps is set to change, but there are hidden gems within iOS 26 that will make your life even easier.

For example, there’s now the ability to copy just parts of a message rather than the whole bubble on screen, which will enable details to be transferred from app to app more quickly.

Maps has also improved incident reports, which is great news for lovers of Apple Maps over Waze or Google Maps.

But one of the best may be that the update will reportedly automatically pause music in your AirPods when you’re asleep, which is great news for Apple Watch users, too.

Plus, for avid camera users and budding photographers, there’s now a lens cleaning hint that can be turned on in settings to ensure your snaps never turn out blurry again.

You can even silence a SIM thanks to Focus, which is great for people who use two SIMs for work, especially when they clock off for the day.

It could create a more distinct work-life balance for some people

“Apple In­telli­gence is integrated into even more places to help you communicate across languages, create more personal images, and use more powerful shortcuts,” explained Apple itself.

These reported hidden features could make this update the greatest yet.

Apple has stepped up its game a notch with these new releases

Kicking off September with a bang has meant the new release of the iPhone 17 devices, along with the new software update.

In fact, the iPhone Air, aka the thinnest iPhone ever, was recently announced with execs challenging people to try and bend the phone in an ultimate test of its durability.

Plus, when it comes to wireless technology, the new Apple AirPods Pro 3 will reportedly translate people speaking a foreign language to you in real time.
