iOS 26 might only be a week old at this point, but that doesn’t mean Apple is resting on its laurels. In fact, it has just released the first developer beta for iOS 26.1.

For the most part, the update doesn’t include a host of new features for the best iPhones. Instead, it looks to tweak and improve some aspects of the phone to offer a better experience. In a recent report, 9to5 Mac detailed some of the biggest changes that have been spotted so far.

The first has to do with the keypad in the Phone app, which itself underwent a significant design change in the original iOS 26 release. However, the new beta brings Apple’s new Liquid Glass design to the Phone app's keypad. Much like Liquid Glass itself, the new look is an acquired taste, but there’s something to be said for uniformity.
