Let’s face it, after a big Apple keynote, you feel like you know everything there is to know. You get all the headline features, the shiny new gadgets, and the dramatic reveals. But what if I told you that the real magic is what they don't tell you? That behind the polished presentation lies a treasure trove of hidden gems just waiting for you to find them? This isn't about the major overhauls; it's about the little secrets that make your phone feel brand new again.
In their "One More Thing" series, the tech wizards at CNET went digging into the iOS 26 public beta and pulled out a mind-blowing 26 features that Apple never mentioned. This isn’t about a new design or a massive change, but rather a collection of small, genius tweaks that make your daily life easier. We’re talking about things like your lock screen showing you the exact time until your phone is 80% charged—a tiny detail that makes a huge difference. Or a subtle suggestion to clean your camera lens when it's smudged.
But wait, there's more. We all love taking photos, right? What if you could add a special 3D spatial effect to any photo, even old ones you took years ago? The new iOS 26 hidden features make it possible. It’s a game-changer for anyone who wants to bring their memories to life in a way they never thought possible. But that’s just the beginning. The real magic is in the details, and the next features are so simple, you'll wonder why Apple didn't announce them with a spotlight and a drumroll.
