Apple showed a quick slide at WWDC 2025 highlighting a bunch of features in iOS, iPadOS, and macOS 26 it didn’t talk about.
There are a Ton of Hidden Features in iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 Apple Didn’t Talk About at WWDC 2025
Apple’s Liquid Glass design aesthetic is official, and so is iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 Tahoe. However, if you’re wondering if there are features which Apple didn’t talk about, it turns out, there are. Lots of them, in fact.
There are some AirPods features Apple didn’t talk about either.
Thankfully, Apple showed a slide showing some of the features coming with the above updates. But since Apple had limited time, the slide was flashed on screen for a few seconds, and things moved on. If you blinked, you definitely missed it.
