Apple just released iOS 26.5 and while it may not be the biggest update ever, there are some genuinely important new features hidden inside. From end-to-end encrypted RCS messaging support and smarter Maps suggestions to the new Pride Harmony wallpaper with tons of customization options, there’s more here than you might expect.
Plus, Apple may have quietly laid the groundwork for ads inside Apple Maps.
But that’s not all — new rumors about iOS 27 are already heating up. We’re talking a redesigned Siri experience powered by modern AI models, the ability to choose different LLMs, smarter camera controls, enhanced AI photo editing tools, on-screen awareness, personal context features, and even more satellite capabilities.
In this video, I’ll break down everything new in iOS 26.5, the hidden changes Apple didn’t really talk about, and what’s next for iPhone software heading into iOS 27.
