The iOS 26 version is a big naming switch from iOS 18 that powered the iPhone 16 series last year. Now, we have a release date for the iOS 26 update that will be coming to a wide range of iPhone models, and some of the newer ones with the shiny AI tools. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">We have been getting the iOS 26 developer and public beta versions in the last few weeks and with the new iPhone 17 ready to be shipped from next week, Apple is gearing up for the last minute fixes for the iOS 26 release.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>iOS 26 Release Date, Free Update And More<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">iOS 26 version is coming out as a free update on Monday, September 15, 2025. Apple usually rolls out the new iOS update in the morning which comes to late evening for iPhone users in India and we expect a similar plan for the iOS 26 release as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>iOS 26 Release: Which iPhones Will Get It?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">iPhone 11<\/span><\/li>\n<li>iPhone 11 Pro<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 11 Pro Max<\/li>\n<li>iPhone SE (2nd generation and later)<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 12<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 12 mini<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 12 Pro<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 12 Pro Max<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 13<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 13 mini<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 13 Pro<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 13 Pro Max<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 14<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 14 Plus<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 14 Pro<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 14 Pro Max<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 15<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 15 Plus<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 15 Pro<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 15 Pro Max<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 16e<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 16<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 16 Plus<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 16 Pro<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 16 Pro Max<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">As you can see from the list here, Apple will offer the new iOS 26 update for iPhone models starting from 11 going up to the latest available 16 Pro Max variant. The list also confirms that iPhone X, Xs and Xr versions will no longer get iOS updates from the company and these users should now upgrade to any of the models mentioned above.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">It is intriguing to see the iPhone SE 2nd gen model included in the support list but if you want the latest Apple AI features, you will need to have the iPhone 15 Pro or newer models.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>iOS 26 Features Coming To iPhones<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The new iOS 26 update gets the Liquid Glass design which has become a lot better in the last few beta versions. The new interface brings glass-like intuitive swipe and scrolling across apps and different tabs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The apps also get the glass-like effect with the text more pronounced. In terms of the features, iOS 26 brings a new adaptive battery saving tool which uses AI to read your usage. The apps now launch faster, while the camera gets new tweaks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">There is a new video that explains the iOS 26 Liquid Glass design changes which probably makes sense. The company has removed the toggle button to activate the classic mode for the camera.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>iOS 26 Update: How To Install<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Tap on Settings<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Go to General \u2013 Software update<\/li>\n<li>Check for the new iOS 26 update for your device<\/li>\n<li>Authenticate using your six-digit passcode<\/li>\n<li>Reboot your iPhone and get the iOS 26 full version installed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Apple is finally letting iPhone users know the exact purpose of the low power mode and what all features are affected when you turn it on. The company\u2019s note says background activities, processing speed, display refresh rate and even the iCloud syncing support are reduced.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ff263f4b724d470d jsx-1436255706 artcta\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:28px\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Get latest technology updates, including phone launches, gadget reviews, AI advancements.
