📰 Leak reveals Apple’s secret roadmap: iOS 26.4, iOS 27 & iOS 28

iOS 26.4 is shaping up to be one of Apple’s most ambitious mid-cycle updates ever.

A leaked internal iOS 26 build has exposed Apple’s plans years ahead — and these are far from minor updates. Apple is working on:

❤️ Redesigned Health app
New layout, simpler data logging, and groundwork for a Health+ subnoscription with an AI assistant.
💳 Credit card autofill in third-party apps
Save cards to iCloud Keychain directly from apps, similar to Safari Autofill.
✏️ Folders in Freeform
Long-awaited board organization with iCloud sync (coming in iOS 26.4).
📺 Apple TV Sports Tier
A possible premium sports-focused subnoscription tier.
🔑 Extra Apple ID security
Device integrity checks before signing into iCloud, targeting modified devices.
🤪 New Siri with Apple Intelligence
More natural conversations powered by a large language model (expected spring 2026).
🎧 New AirPods Pro 3 features
Precise outdoor location tracking in Find My, likely exclusive to U2-equipped models.

🔮 Looking ahead:
• iOS 27 — improved Photos collections & new AirPods pairing system
• iOS 28 — advanced sleep metrics and Health app coming to macOS

📲 Apple might be preparing to launch four new professional apps for iPad

📰 A MacRumors contributor has discovered references to several new pro-level iPad apps in App Store files. At the moment these apps are available only on Mac:

• Pixelmator Pro
• Compressor
• Motion
• MainStage

👍 These apps would expand Apple’s current lineup of professional iPad software, joining Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro, which were released for iPad last year. There is no official release date yet, but the timing makes sense — especially following the launch of the iPad Pro with the M5 chip.

👂 iPhone 18 Pro may ditch both the notch and Dynamic Island entirely

📰 According to The Information, Apple plans to remove the dynamic island and move the front camera to the top-left corner.

🔒 Face ID could be placed under the display, eliminating the need for a separate sensor cutout.

🔮 If true, this would be one of the biggest @iPhone design changes for years.

🎵 Apple Music streaming integration with ChatGPT

It’s already available to chatbot users.

📱 Apple Music can be added to ChatGPT through the settings in the iOS app, on Mac, or in the web version. To connect, a user will need to sign in using the Apple Account.

🆓 ChatGPT can be used to search for songs, artists, albums, and playlists in the Apple Music catalog, with the ability to listen to track snippets right in the chatbot — even without the streaming subnoscription.

🔒 Listening history and user playlists remain private. ChatGPT can add content to your Apple Music library, but it does not have read access.

📱 iPhone Air 2 сould still launch in fall 2026

📰 Insider Fixed Focus Digital claims that Apple is still considering launching the second-generation iPhone Air in fall 2026. According to the source, this plan is currently being discussed internally.

ℹ️ Previously, The Information and Bloomberg reported that the iPhone Air 2 could be delayed until spring 2027, alongside the base iPhone 18 and the more affordable 18e. The potential delay was linked to weak sales of the first-generation model, prompting Apple to reassess its strategy.

🔎 The iPhone Air 2 is expected to feature a second camera (ultra-wide), a larger battery, improved cooling with a vapor chamber, and possibly even a lower price.
