00:00so iOS 26 is here and we at fiber have access to the developer beta basically Apple releases
00:10the software early for developers and people who guessed the iOS so that we can find bugs
00:15and tell Apple what problems we have in the software right now but I just wanted to give
00:21you a look and feel of what the new app icons and the entire UI feels like in this video and if you
00:29want to download the new 26 version I can tell you how to do that but for that you'll have to wait
00:34till the end of the video let me just show you what the new look is all about first up the home
00:43page looks absolutely different you have this liquid glass design which just looks very futuristic if you
00:49slide the icons across the screen you can see the image in the background this liquid glass animation
00:56just seamlessly just flows across the screen it looks nice Apple has worked on this one but I feel
01:02I've seen this somewhere before maybe on Windows or even Android you can make these customizations in
01:09the control panel as well entire UI is now looking very translucent very liquid like and Apple is saying
01:17that this is going to be the future of iOS so I mean it's time for you to get used to something very
01:23clean UI experience the animations again have been changed across the board even if you open the camera
01:30app you can slide across the interface and change the modes the same is possible on different other
01:36applications and this animation liquid base I think is very fluid I like it but there are other people who
01:44might beg to differ because I don't think they would like to change the entire look and feel of
01:51their Apple iPhone devices the photos app has also gone through an overhaul because I see this new look
01:58for the photos app it's a bit confusing for me right now because I've just installed the new software
02:03and it will take some time for me to get used to the entire layout and how it functions and you can even
02:10create memories using AI right in the screen and I'm sure when these changes come you will take some time to
02:17get used to how this looks it looks a bit cluttered right now for me but it's just on how I use it on a daily basis and
02:24then I'll get used to it next up the tiles and the folders the entire organization look is translucent looks
02:31very glass like on your iPhone I felt that it is cleaner looks more innovative and more futuristic than
02:41before but the organization the customization you can obviously do them yourself I think it's a good
02:47look to have on your phone the app library also has a very different clean look all the apps look
02:52organized and you can customize this look by the way you can have an all glass app icon feel like you see
02:58here and I think Apple is just saying okay we are giving you so much of customizations now it looks
03:04very different but it's not that different that you will feel difficult navigating through the UI and
03:10that's smart that Apple is done here I will warn you that after installing the developer beta the phone
03:15gets a little buggy it hangs a bit when I'm trying to transition between the screens so there could be
03:21problems if you install iOS 26 in developer beta on your phone and just be ready for a few bugs to pop
03:29out here and there but how do you install it let me tell you that so first up you need to register with
03:34Apple's developer beta program by going on to their website and registering your devices email ID it's a
03:40very simple process and after that you need to go to your phone's setting in the general category you
03:46will see software update where you will see developer beta option pop up you just need to turn it on and
03:53then automatically it will search for the software update once the update pops up a prompt will be in
03:59front of you which says that the software is around 15.9 GB if you want to install it go ahead and install
04:05but here's something that you should be aware of see this is a developer beta it's a bit buggy there might be
04:12complications and if you're using your primary device and wanting to install this fair warning this could
04:19lead to data loss this could be a problem it will be buggy so I would not recommend people who use
04:25their iPhones as a daily driver to install this software because you might run into complications
04:31however if you are still adventurous and want to try the new look for iOS 26 then you can go ahead and
04:36install this software and after installation you will get a new Apple iPhone iOS 26 the entire shebang
04:45right on your screen so there you have it a quick look at iOS 26 and how you can install it on your
04:51device let us know in the comment section what you really feel about this liquid glass design and
04:56whether it's something that you feel is really innovative because the internet is divided right now a lot of
05:02people like it a lot of people don't because they've already seen it on Windows and Android so mixed
05:07reactions are coming in but the comment section is open let us know what you think about this new look
05:12that Apple has got to its iPhone and Apple devices and we'll be back with more updates from iOS 26 and
05:19also other OS updates that Apple has got to its ecosystem and announcements that they made at WWDC 2025
05:27This is Cyrus signing off. I'll be back very soon with more tech right here. Take care
