One of the first things you may notice about iOS 26 is the new interface, complete with transparent effects and a new approach to the lock screen clock, which can now transform alongside your wallpaper, instead of blocking a subject like a loved one’s face.
The new changes mean the clock can expand to fill more of the display, making it easier to read. Like the homescreen, you can easily resize the click with the handles on the bottom-right corner. The clock can fill up to half of the screen, but in the larger modes, any widgets will only be available at the bottom of the screen.
If you want to change the iOS 26 lock screen font, follow these easy steps.
At the bottom, you’ll see a tab that allows you to choose between Glass and Solid effects. The former makes the clock transparent, but it is less accessible for those with visual impairments. The solid option removes all transparency from the clock, making it easy to see, albeit at the cost of not blending in as well with your wallpaper. However, you prefer it, it’s easy to make the iOS 26 clock your own!
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
