As we pass the midpoint of 2026, iOS 20—announced at WWDC about a month ago—is progressing through beta testing. Rumors and leaks are swirling ahead of the public release. Here is a roundup of the most notable expected 기능.

Apple Intelligence 2.0

iOS 20 is expected to bring a significant evolution of Apple Intelligence. Siri’s contextual understanding is said to be greatly improved, enabling complex cross-app tasks via a single voice command. The Photos app is rumored to gain AI-powered advanced editing 기능, including more precise subject extraction and natural background replacement.

Interactive Lock 화면 Widgets

Current lock 화면 widgets are largely read-only. iOS 20 is expected to introduce interactive widgets, allowing users to check off tasks, control music playback, and manage smart home devices directly from the lock 화면 without unlocking the phone.

Messages App Overhaul

iMessage is rumored to adopt a new protocol with enhanced end-to-end 암호화, full edit history tracking, an expanded range of reactions, and—finally—RCS support for high-quality media sharing with Android users.

Expanded Health 기능

The Health app is expected to add sleep apnea detection and more detailed gait stability analysis. Integration with third-party devices will be strengthened, potentially allowing centralized management of data from glucose monitors and other medical devices.

Smarter 배터리 Management

iOS 20 will enhance its ability to analyze 충전 cycles and learn user lifestyle patterns to optimize 충전 behavior, helping to slow 배터리 degradation more effectively.

Release Timeline

The official release of iOS 20 is expected alongside the new iPhone models anticipated in September. Developer and public betas are currently available as Apple refines stability.
