Cabbage, is ios 26 out, yes, 26, wasn’t it ios 19? Instead, we are at 26, as if Apple marketing had decided to make it simple, every year an extra number, whether like or not, instead of bang 26. That I already imagine secret meetings in Cupertino, where one said “26!” And everyone, Tim Cook in the first place, set him and said “brilliant!”.
iOS 26, I go to the point: Apple Intelligence, live translations, generation of images, automatic summaries, vocal synthesis, customization of the contents, and of course Siri, Siri who, yes, if you ask you what long ago tomorrow tells you still correctly, but just ask for something more specific, and the usual Siri returns, the one that replies “Here I found on the web”, as always, whole of evolutions AI. Which is the weak point of Apple, but not as weak as they say: they will soon come to the solution to open to others Ai, Gemini, Openai, Anthropic, whatever it is, it is not a great problem. Moreover, we can already use any to the downloading it as on any smartphone: is it not completely integrated with the system? Which is it?
The (next) future will be that, integrating a powerful artificial intelligence into the iPhone, directly, without intermediate passages, without having to download external applications, although in the meantime the situation is what it is. And here it must also be said another thing that few are saying: they are all in hype for artificial intelligence, they scream that the new liquid graphics are beautiful but illegible, for example. But they have not seen anything, because what has been shown is very little, and it was only in part, in beta, in demo, in keynote, not on a real iPhone, nor on a public beta: we are still talking about a beta for developers, not an iOS ready for the public, so exactly what would they be criticizing?
And in fact the criticisms started the same, showing only how much Apple’s detractors are (if you hate Apple so much, why don’t you stay with your Huawei?). So: Siri is still behind, the real artificial intelligence is all to be built, the new assistants will be better, and it is not enough, because in these days the web has also filled with another wave of complaints, “it’s ugly”, “the icons are not seen”, “you don’t understand anything anymore” …
I repeat: we are talking about a beta for developers, a non -definitive system, with an interface still in the processing, with visual logic that will be finished in the coming months, instead all already screaming at the aesthetic disaster, as if Apple was there to pack the version of definitive showcase in June for those who write to us two tweets. There are also those who say: “Apple will end up like Nokia”, because he is in his erotic fantasies. Don’t you like the iPhone? Do not buy it, to hear these it seems to be mandatory.
iOS26 is not to be thrown away, on the contrary, we are talking about Apple, in case the detractors are to be thrown away, who now criticize everything even before seeing it finished, and not everything is criticized, because a function that really works is there, live translations are one of the smartest things seen so far in this update, speak on the phone with anyone in another language, and the system translates in real time during the call or in chat, Progress, concrete, and it is precisely the type of function that will make the difference in real use, not to make a scene to the keynote, rather because they will use it (who has an iPhone, the others attack), even those who have never opened an app of translations.
But then it ended Apple, how do some hold only from now, every year (even when it started)? Because iOS remains OS, you can also announce a new phone every week with the most powerful artificial intelligence of the galaxy inside, but to undermine iOS it will take much more, because when you buy an iPhone you don’t only buy a phone, you also have a Mac, maybe an iPad, maybe an Apple Watch, and the AirPods Pro Sperttaculari, and all this, simply, works. No viruses, no malware, always works and works better than any other cross-device integration, this is the real force of the Apple ecosystem, certainly not Siri who tries to suggest the podcast of the week while you are looking for the keys of the house.
In other words, Apple is not over, as many repeat at every keynote, an assistant to the smarter is not enough to bring down a system that makes you find the photo taken with the iPhone already synchronized on the Mac, or that allows you to respond to a message from the wrist while the phone is on the sofa. Indeed, true artificial intelligence would be the one who one day managed to convince millions of Apple users to make up for the address book, redeem all the apps, migrate the data on another system, and give up this comfort which is the ecosystem created by Apple.
Did they exaggerate with the hype? It may be, however iOS 26 is what has always been iOS, a system that keeps everyone inside, with a little new showcases above, some more effects, Siri who remains what it is, live translations that really work, and a certainty: we will update anyway, and this is only one
Beta for developers (you are going on on a video, guys), therefore, if you want to continue criticizing, at least wait to download it and that the icons are really seen, otherwise you become developers you and do not break.
