Here it is! What's New in UIKit in iOS 26.

This was a pretty mammoth undertaking, and it shows – a whopping 64 minute read!

I'll be keeping this article up to date over the beta cycle. Possibly littered with errors. Shout at me if I've made any stupid mistakes.

@jazzychad Found this out the hard way too… Ended up doing it manually: https://t.co/M4qhNK9H4i

SF Symbols' Magic Replace effect isn't able to interpolate between speaker.slash.fill and speaker.wave.3.fill - so I built my own for Duet's mute button...

Anyone in the UK knows "Broken Banjo" is a _terrible_ code name for an Apple Event... 😫

[Tech God @tgod34748]

@thecomputerclan I doubt that’s hinting at the name of anything, but it’s rather the codename for the event itself. Yes, Apple codenames events

The Sep 2025 iPhone event was codenamed Snow Leopard, and had nothing to do with the OS X release.

Sep 2024 was Trail Blazer, WWDC24 was Broken Banjo.

@piercifani This one, right?? 😄

A lot of them are wearing blue. UIKit’s logo is blue. They’re paying homage to UIKit. UIKit deprecation confirmed.

@alpennec @hiddevdploeg @squeakytoy Yep, I’m only seeing the App Store-related stuff too. That’s a shame. Used to be a list as long as your arm of teams you could get a 1:1 lab with. From ARKit → WebKit…

“A thousand no’s for every yes”…

…makes you wonder what they’re saying no to 😅

A new iOS 27 leak from Bloomberg shows the Camera app is becoming customizable, with a new "Add Widgets" panel that lets users pin tools and controls, including a Siri capture button.

The leak also previews a redesigned Siri living inside the Dynamic Island, AI-powered grammar tools, and Photos editing features like Extend and Reframe.

iOS 27 will be announced at WWDC on June 8.

@azamsharp We're still doing this in the big 2-6...?

directionalLayoutMargins = NSDirectionalLay ^H^H^H EdgeInsets...

[Seb Vidal @SebJVidal]

@MatManferdini I believe, where possible, you should store the returned result of the accessory closure, rather than a reference to the closure itself in your view struct. @squeakytoy did a much better job of explaining this in a session not long ago… https://t.co/ckV0NpTYoZ

Second time this has happened, insane that this is Apple in 2026.
