On Monday, Apple released its sixth Developer Beta of iOS 26, and Apple added a lot of new features.
Apple added 7 new ringtones for your iPhone: “Dreamer”, “Buoyant”, “Pond”, “Pop”, “Reflected”, “Surge”, and “Little Bird”.
Apple had no business going THIS HARD with the new "Dreamer" ringtone!! 🔥

One new update to iOS 26 is a new “smoother” but faster launch animation.
Quite a few small, but noticeable tweaks to animations in iOS 26 Beta 6! Most transitions are (even) faster, snappier.
Most importantly, they’ve changed the app open/close animations to the iPadOS versions, which have a slight “magic lamp/genie”-like effect to them.

The whole update is centered around Apple’s new Liquid Glass, but the first Beta update was rocky; readability was bad, and so was lag and glitches, but as more updates come out, Liquid Glass now feels more “finished”.

After you update your device, you’ll see a new startup/onboarding.
iOS 26 beta 6 features a brand new startup sequence not seen before! Absolutely beautiful.
