Apple’s iOS 26 beta 2 brings exciting updates for iPhone users, making the experience smoother and more user-friendly. The Safari browser gets a fix for a design issue from the first beta, moving the new tab icon to a better spot for easier navigation. This change makes browsing more intuitive and less frustrating.
The update hints at the iPhone 17 Air, a possible new model with a unique display size, expected to launch this fall. This suggests Apple is preparing for a big reveal alongside the iOS 26 public release in September. The Wallet app now fully supports order tracking, a feature announced at WWDC.
Siri can scan your emails to track orders from any retailer, not just those using Apple Pay. This makes it easier to keep tabs on your purchases right from your iPhone. A fresh ringtone, “Alt 1” for the Reflection sound, is available in the Settings app under Sounds & Haptics.
It’s a new take on the classic iPhone ringtone, offering a modern vibe. The Control Center also gets a tweak, with a darker look for better visibility, making controls easier to see in different lighting.
Other neat additions include a Live Radio widget for Apple Music and an Accessibility section in the App Store, where developers can highlight their app’s accessibility features. These updates show Apple’s focus on improving usability and personalization for all users.
