<\/p>\nApple announced a lot of new features at its recent World Wide Developers Conference, but it seems there were some innovations which didn\u2019t appear at the event. A new report says they\u2019re on their way.<\/p>\n

Apple iOS 26<\/p>\n

The new iOS 26 iPhone software is currently in its second developer beta beta, with the first public beta due next month and general release expected in September with the iPhone 17 series.<\/p>\n
ForbesApple iPhone 17: Key Design Upgrade Promised In New LeakBy David Phelan<\/a><\/p>\n In his latest Power On<\/a> newsletter, Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman has talked about the secret new features which Apple hasn\u2019t talked about yet. He refers to two: live translation for AirPods and a neat, new Wi-Fi feature.<\/p>\n \u201cAt WWDC, Apple was careful not to announce anything that wasn\u2019t close to shipping (either in the first version of iOS 26 or an update soon after). The company didn\u2019t want to risk repeating WWDC 2024, where it announced several features \u2014 including some tentpole technology \u2014 that were ultimately delayed by months or have yet to arrive,\u201d Gurman said.<\/p>\n By \u201cyet to arrive,\u201d he mostly means the new Siri which was headlined last year, which leverages what the iPhone knows about you to deliver much more personal help. It did look amazing, and led to a (later-pulled) commercial showing how it could help, but it hasn\u2019t landed yet.<\/p>\n Apple said that of the entire 2024 WWDC event, only four minutes\u2019 worth of features haven\u2019t yet arrived.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worth noting that while it\u2019s true that Apple hasn\u2019t delivered this feature yet, no other company has come close to launching anything similar.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are at least two capabilities that weren\u2019t announced at WWDC that I expect to come this year: live translation of conversations via AirPods and the ability to sync your wireless network login information at a hotel or gym across devices. I reported on both features before WWDC,\u201d Gurman went on.<\/p>\n You could be forgiven for thinking the translation element was announced: in fact, though there were several translation features announced by Apple, the one for the AirPods wasn\u2019t one of them.<\/p>\n As it hasn\u2019t been mentioned yet, it\u2019s possible that Apple won\u2019t talk about this feature until the launch of the iPhone 17 series in September \u2014 read this<\/a> for exactly when.<\/p>\n The Wi-Fi feature, which will be handy for anyone with multiple devices wanting to log in seamlessly, also went under the radar, but, \u201cthere also have already been hints related to the Wi-Fi feature hidden within iOS 26 code,\u201d according to Gurman.<\/p>\n
