Apple just dropped iPadOS 26 developer beta 7, and we’re getting closer to the final release. In this video, I walk through everything new — from battery life improvements to UI changes like the shrinking dock, Control Center tweaks, and refinements to the new Liquid Glass design. Plus, I break down performance updates, bug fixes, and when to expect the public release of iPadOS 26.
