What happened to iOS 19?!

Have you guys heard this Apple iOS news? We are going to be jumping from iOS 18 to iOS 26. WWDC is coming up next week, which means the first beta versions will be rolling out so soon to developers. Here's what the rumors are saying that we're gonna be getting. First up, it looks like this new interface is gonna be taking some inspiration from the Vision Pro with translucent glass interface elements, rounded edges with floating navigation and menus. If you've ever used Apple Vision Pro or seen what the interfaces look like, I think this is gonna be pretty cool because it has such a fun, futuristic look to it. There's gonna be an all new games app that'll have editorial content, leaderboards, achievements, and some social features. This kind of seems like it's gonna be replacing the Game Center app and kind of integrating it all with Apple Arcade. So everything will be nicely all in one place. We may be getting some enhanced RCS messages, an all new update to the health app with food logging and AI coaching. I already do a lot of food tracking, so it'll be really cool to kind of see how this compares to some of the apps that are already out there. Now, this is probably my favorite. Live language translation with AirPods with an upgraded translate app. I had the absolute best time in Japan, so if this is actually something that is coming out, you better believe that I will be booking a trip to Japan specifically to test this out for no other reason. For science. Oh, I love Japan. It's amazing. Now, there has been some Apple Intelligence Siri AI upgrades that have been severely delayed, and they may actually be released in this version. So fingers crossed. Like the ability to respond to requests about personal context, onscreen awareness, and interacting with other apps. Now, I would much rather these be set and ready to go than released and not work, because we just don't need any more disappointment. Now, speaking of AI, we should be getting some more third-party AI integration into Siri like Chat GPT was last year. So it'll be nice to have some more options to choose from. This is also kind of interesting, a stage manager feature when using your iPhone with an external monitor, which I can't say that I really ever do very often, but okay, maybe I need to get into it. This is also pretty cool. Transferring eSIMs between an Android and iPhone will now be super easy. This is definitely going to be great for those two phone kind of days. Of course, there's going to be a ton more smaller features as well, but follow along as I take you to WWDC next week to learn all about the new new.
