A surprise iPhone update is nearly here. Here’s the latest information on when it’s coming and what will be in it.

FaceTime "Communication Safety" feature: A newer addition to iOS 26 appears to be the FaceTime "Communication Safety" feature that pauses communications if and when nudity is detected. The feature appears to be a child safety feature that uses on-device detection, thus obviating any cloud-based privacy issues.

Apple just launched new products this week, but even more hardware is coming soon—including four products getting very rare updates.

Rounding out Apple's week is the new iPad Pro with M5, and while its improvements year-on-year are barely worth noting, this device is aimed at those who do love to work with iPad in both tablet and keyboard format, but own a device that might be four or more years old.
