According to some reliable sources on technology forums, these improvements will focus on apps such as secondment, Music, Notes, and CarPlay, bringing many practical changes to users.
The second generation of text messaging is expected to integrate a live translation feature, using Apple Intelligence technology. When users receive a message in a language other than the language the system is installing, the content will be automatically translated.
This feature promises to effectively support multi-lingue communication. Another new feature is the ability to create direct votes in a conversation, similar to many of the messaging apps that competitors have provided. This feature can use context data and artificial intelligence to help users create quick and convenient votes.
With the Music app, users can see a full-screen album cover photo and have a dynamic effect on the lock Screen, instead of just showing a static photo as before. This makes lock Screen a more intuitive and lively Distribution interface, especially for albums with dynamic image support.
Apple Notes may receive a feature that experts have long been looking forward to: The ability to output notes in Markdown format. This is a function that is highly appreciated by users who are in-depth, and is already available on many competing note-taking applications.
For CarPlay, the interface is rumored to have a change to synchronize with the new design style inspired by VisionOS, in line with the design trend that Apple is pursuing across its ecosystem.
Although there is no official confirmation from Apple, these leaked features show that iOS 26 will not only stop at improving the interface but also focus on enhancing the real user experience through core applications. All will be revealed at WWDC 2025, where iOS 26 and new Apple Intelligence features are expected to be released.
