Firefox just turned your iPhone into a pocket-sized speed-reader. On iOS 26, Mozilla has rolled out a new “Shake to Summarize” feature that uses AI to condense long articles into a quick, readable recap.
The best part? On newer devices it runs right on your iPhone, thanks to Apple Intelligence in iOS 26, so your data stays on-device whenever possible.

Apple's September 9, 2025 event delivered more than just new hardware. This year, the iPhone 17 lineup brings one of the most dramatic design changes we've seen in years. Alongside the standard iPhone 17, Apple introduced the iPhone 17 Pro, Pro Max, and a brand-new ultra-thin model called the iPhone Air.

A major iOS update is on the horizon. iOS 26, unveiled at WWDC 2025, is now in developer beta with a public beta due next week. This is ahead of an anticipated September release to coincide with the iPhone 17 launch.
The standout change in iOS 26 is the Liquid Glass interface – a fluid, glass-like aesthetic introduced during WWDC. Early beta versions received criticism for excessive transparency, with icons difficult to discern. Apple has since scaled back the effect in beta 3, adding darker tints and improved contrast – nicknamed “Frosted Glass” or “Diluted Glass” online.
Since iOS 18, Apple has shifted to a year-based naming scheme for its operating systems, aligning version numbers with the upcoming calendar year. Rather than launching what would have been iOS 19, Apple jumped straight to iOS 26, reflecting the 2026 release cycle.

Apple’s latest iOS 18.4 update finally lets you decide exactly how full your iPhone should get during every recharge. Instead of the old one-size-fits-all “80 % cap,” you can now stop at 80, 85, 90, 95, or 100 percent—giving you a simple way to slow battery wear without living on a charger.
The charge-limit slider appears on iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max and all newer models. Earlier devices stick with the classic Optimized Battery Charging toggle.
