With the upcoming iOS 26, Apple devices are set to undergo significant design changes, including the adoption of Liquid Glass interface style. While this has sparked discussions on social media, there are other updates in the new operating system that are more impactful on our daily lives.

One notable feature is the ability to instantly add a party invite to your calendar by taking a screenshot. Additionally, Maps will now suggest route changes without the need for explicit directions, and robots can now intercept phone calls or act as live language translators.

In a recent episode of One More Thing, early insights into these new features were shared, along with questions about their performance once the software is released to the public. The assistive tools are particularly intriguing, raising curiosity about their accuracy and user adoption.

As Apple continues to refine the software in the coming months, it remains to be seen how users will respond to these updates amidst the visually appealing Liquid Glass design.
