Here's what the list of Apple's upcoming releases looks like.

Notably, at the beginning of 2026, we should see the launch of the iPhone 17e—a budget version of the new lineup, but equipped with the A19 chip, just like the standard iPhone 17.

Additionally, by the end of this year, we may see the new iPad Pro featuring the M5 chip.

Useful reminder: the T-Bank app with the new iPhone payment feature is still available in the App Store.

Last time, it was removed within a couple of hours.

iOS 26 has just been released. The new operating system with the "liquid glass" interface is now available for download.

What's new besides the transparent icons:
- A revamped "Camera" app with minimal buttons;
- Notifications for a dirty camera (the iPhone will suggest cleaning the lens);
- Enlarged clock display on the lock screen and 3D wallpapers;
- AI DJ in Apple Music for smooth transitions between tracks;
- Real-time translation for songs, calls, and messages powered by AI;
- Charging time tracking (it will show how much time is left until 100%).

The update is 7.35 GB in size and is supported on all iPhones starting from the iPhone 11 series and newer.

Give it a try here—you get 30 generations per day.
