iOS 26 beta 6 brings more surprise upgrades to your iPhone – and I'm already using my favorite one

Apple continues to push out beta updates for its iOS 26 software ahead of a full launch later this year, and the latest beta 6 version for developers brings with it a number of interesting tweaks – including one I'm particularly keen to try out.

As reported by TechCrunch and others, iOS 26 is snappier than ever, with app launching and switching noticeably faster – a sure sign that Apple is continuing to optimize the software before it gets rolled out to millions of iPhones.

There are also more tweaks to Liquid Glass here (via MacRumors), with more transparency on the lock screen, and a more 3D look to the lock-screen clock. Apple also seems to have done more work to improve text legibility with the Liquid Glass effect.
