Apple is set to supercharge its suite of services this fall with the rollout of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, tvOS 26, visionOS 26, and watchOS 26. The company has announced a wave of innovative features—spanning Apple Music, Apple Maps, Apple Wallet, and beyond—that promise to make daily life smarter, more personal, and even more enjoyable for users worldwide.

Apple Music: AutoMix, Lyrics Translation, and More

Music lovers are in for a treat as Apple Music introduces AutoMix, a DJ-inspired feature that uses AI to seamlessly blend songs together. Whether you're hosting a party or just want a continuous listening experience, AutoMix ensures smooth transitions with beat matching and time stretching.

But that's not all—Apple Music is also rolling out Lyrics Translation and Lyrics Pronunciation. Now, fans can understand and sing along to their favorite international hits, with translations fine-tuned by language experts to capture every nuance and emotion. The popular Sing feature gets an upgrade too, turning your iPhone into a karaoke mic for epic sing-alongs with friends, complete with real-time lyrics and dazzling visual effects.

Plus, users can now pin their favorite albums and playlists to the top of their Library for instant access.

Apple Maps: Smarter Navigation with Preferred Routes and Visited Places

Apple Maps gets a major intelligence boost, making navigation more personalized and efficient. With Preferred Routes, your iPhone learns the paths you take most often—like your daily commute—and proactively provides updates and alternate routes if delays arise.

The new Visited Places feature automatically logs restaurants, shops, and other locations you frequent, making it easy to revisit or share recommendations with friends. Privacy remains paramount: all data is encrypted end-to-end and easily removable at your discretion.

Apple Wallet: Order Tracking, Digital ID, and Enhanced Apple Pay

Apple Wallet is evolving into a true digital hub with the integration of Apple Intelligence. Now, Wallet can automatically extract and display order tracking details from your emails, giving you a unified view of all your purchases and delivery updates.

Apple Pay is also expanding, letting users pay with rewards and installment plans in-store, starting with major partners in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. And for group expenses, Apple Cash now supports sending and requesting money within group chats in Messages, making splitting bills a breeze.

Perhaps the most significant addition is the Digital ID. U.S. users can now add a secure, digital version of their ID to Wallet using their passport, making it easier to verify their identity at select TSA checkpoints during domestic travel. The new Verify with Wallet on the Web feature allows seamless age and ID verification on supported websites.

Travel Made Easier: Refreshed Boarding Passes and Airport Navigation

Travelers will appreciate the refreshed boarding pass experience in Wallet, which now includes real-time flight updates, airport navigation via Maps, and quick access to airline services like seat upgrades and standby lists. You can even share live flight status with friends and family, ensuring everyone stays in the loop.

Staying fit just got simpler with Custom Plans in Apple Fitness+. These ready-made routines are tailored to your workout and meditation preferences, helping you stay consistent or push your limits. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, there's a plan to match your goals.

Apple News+: Daily Emoji Game and More Puzzles
