Ive been waiting years for Apple to make the iPad more like its laptops and now the company is finally giving the community what it wants. Revealed at WWDC 2025, iPadOS 26 introduces some major design changes to the iPad with Liquid Glass, including a new Mac-like menu bar and window tiling system that make Apples tablet even more like its laptops.Weve known for a while now that Apple was doing a major revamp of the design for iPadOS 26 (previously iPadOS 19). Rumors have been swirling for months now, and the new design looks very Apple, while also offering something a bit different compared to the previous design language.One major component of this new design, called Liquid Glass, is a more unified appearance across all of Apples various operating systems, starting with iOS 26 and building out from there. This should make it easier to switch between your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, without feeling like things dont really mix together well.But Apple isnt stopping there. iPadOS 26 is also looking to make the iPad even more of a workhorse by finally accepting that people want it to replace their Macbooks. This comes in the form of new features that Apple says should make it even more of a staple in your workflow, including a huge update to work alongside Stage Manager, which previously let you set your iPad up like a mini-laptop with stages that included different windows and apps.For starters, Files are getting a massive design shift in iPadOS 26, with an updated list view, as well as options to resize columns so you can see more of your files at the same time. Working with Files has always been a bit of an annoyance on iPad, so this should hopefully make things more accessible.Apple is also finally bringing the Preview app to iPad, which will allow you to quickly view and edit sketches, PDFs, and images in the Files app. Combine that with the revamped menu bar, which Apple says will allow you to more easily interact with applications like you would on Mac by swiping down from the top of the screen, or moving the cursor up there.Additionally, Apple says that developers will be able to customize the menu bar to fit their app specifically. The real kicker here, though, is the updates to window tiling, which Apple claims will be much more fluid in iPadOS 26. Youll be able to resize windows with a simple flick according to Apple, and any resized windows will remember the size that you set and reopen at that size in the future.It is designed to tie in seamlessly with Stage Manager, which has been available on iPadOS for several years now. And, the new Expos feature will give you a quick overview of all your open windows, so you can easily swap between them like you would on a Mac.iPadOS 26 will also get access to new Apple Intelligence features, including Live Translation in Phone, FaceTime, and Messages. There will also be new features for Genmoji, allowing you to modify the attributes of previously made emoji, or just update their descriptions entirely. Image Playground is also getting more in-depth connection to ChatGPT, which should give you access to even more styles.Finally, Shortcuts will also get supercharged with Apple Intelligence, to allow you to create more powerful shortcuts. Apple also claims that youll be able to tap directly into Apple Intelligence models to provide responses for the rest of the shortcuts you create.DevelopingThe post iPadOS 26 brings new Mac-like menus and exciting design changes appeared first on BGR.Today's Top DealsTodays deals: $299 Apple Watch Series 10, $38 Sony portable speaker, $249 DJI Mini 4K drone, moreTodays deals: $149 AirPods 4 with ANC, $199 Bose TV soundbar, $41 mattress topper, $399 Weber grill, moreBest deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more salesTodays deals: $15 Amazon credit, rare PS5 Pro sale, $263 HP Stream laptop, $298 Sony XM5 headphones, more

When Apple announces a software update for any of its devices, some users have to hold their breath. Apple does a fantastic job of supporting hardware for years after release, but sooner or later, time comes for every iPhone. To that point, Apple shared the list of supported devices for iOS 26 at WWDC 2025, and a few older models didn't make the cut.You might recall that last year, Apple didn't cut support for any additional iPhone models. All of the same iPhones that were able to upgrade to iOS 17 could get iOS 18 as well. Unfortunately, that isn't the case this year, as two older models have received their final major updates. If you own an iPhone XR, iPhone XS, or iPhone XS Max, you can't install iOS 26.Here's the full list supported devices for iOS 26, according to Apple:iPhone 11iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro MaxiPhone SE (2nd generation)iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro MaxiPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro MaxiPhone SE (3rd generation)iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 PlusiPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro MaxiPhone 15 and iPhone 15 PlusiPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro MaxiPhone 16 and iPhone 16 PlusiPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro MaxiPhone 16eKeep in mind that the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max are coming up on seven years old. It was a matter of time before Apple stopped supporting them. The good news is that Apple continues to roll out security updates for older, unsupported models, so even though these phones won't get the latest version of iOS, there will be more updates.Of course, we also know that the next lineup of iPhone models will support iOS 26, but we're a few months away from the next generation. Rumors suggest that Apple is planning to debut the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max this fall. We also wouldn't be surprised to see an iPhone 17e next spring.Don't Miss: iOS 26 unveiled with new Liquid Glass design language and major app updatesThe post iOS 26 supported devices: Every compatible iPhone model appeared first on BGR.Today's Top DealsBest Ring Video Doorbell dealsBest deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more salesTodays deals: $299 Apple Watch Series 10, $38 Sony portable speaker, $249 DJI Mini 4K drone, moreTodays deals: Nintendo Switch games, $5 smart plugs, $150 Vizio soundbar, $100 Beats Pill speaker, more

iOS 26 is official. During the WWDC 2025 keynote, Apple unveiled its new operating system for iPhone devices.iOS 26 shines with the gorgeous new design and meaningful improvements to the features users rely on every day, making iPhone even more helpful, said Craig Federighi, Apples senior vice president of Software Engineering. Experiences are more expressive and personal, from the Lock Screen and Home Screen, to new capabilities across Phone and Messages that help users focus on the connections that matter most. And with powerful new Apple Intelligence capabilities integrated across the system, users can get things done easier than ever.Image source: Apple Inc.The biggest change in iOS 26 is the new design. Apple says it "makes apps and system experiences more expressive and delightful, while keeping iOS instantly familiar." This new design extends to Home Screen and Lock Screen.The new design is built on a translucent material that Apple calls Liquid Glass, which is capable of both reflecting and refracting its surroundings. This also opens the door to new customization options, such as the ability to make app icons and widgets clear. You can also see a prime example of Liquid Glass in action on the Lock Screen, as the time automatically adapts to the available space in the image that makes up your background.Apple's first-party apps are also getting a rework. The Phone app offers a unified layout that combines Favorites, Recents, and Voicemails in one place. In Messages, users can now screen messages from unknown senders. iOS 26 also adds a poll feature and the ability to generate unique backgrounds that fit the conversation with Image Playground.Image source: Apple Inc.For Apple Music, Apple added a new Lyric Translation feature, which will help users understand the words to their favorite foreign-language songs.
