Your iPhone clock doesn't have to be so "glassy" anymore, thanks to a new Apple software update.

As iOS 26.1 arrives for many Apple iPhone users, iOS 26.2 could be released soon. Here's everything to know.

Apple's iOS 26.2 update is now available to all, with new one-time AirDrop codes, more toggles for Liquid Glass, and improvements to system apps. Here's what's new.

Tap on the lock screen clock, and you’re able to switch between Glass (Liquid Glass) and Solid (no transparency). Even if you keep Liquid Glass in place, you get a slider underneath the color and font options, which lets you adjust the transparency of the effect. When you’re happy with how it looks, tap outside the pop-up dialog, then tap Done.

Apple is about to release an update for every iPhone that can run iOS 26, for users who don’t want it. And it’s probably the last chance to avoid iOS 26.

A newly discovered iPhone prototype offers a rare glimpse of the unreleased iOS 19, which was a precursor to iOS 26 sans Liquid Glass, and it may provide a hint of what's coming in iOS 27.

CarPlay is getting a small but practical upgrade in December 2025, with iOS 26.2 introducing new ways to customize and control key features.
