Apple iOS 26 Maps: What's new in Apple Maps with the iOS 26 update
Apple Maps in iOS 26: Apple Maps gets a solid upgrade with iOS 26, offering features that make outdoor navigation easier and more reliable. If you enjoy hiking or travelling through remote areas, the new offline maps, topographic layers, and trail routes could be a game-changer. Available in both the iOS 26 developer and public betas, these features help you access key navigation tools without needing a constant internet connection. You can now download specific areas, view topography with contour lines, and follow marked trails in supported national parks. These updates put Apple Maps closer to apps like AllTrails and Gaia GPS, aiming to make iPhones more useful in nature. Whether you're planning a trek or simply heading somewhere with a patchy signal, iOS 26 Maps ensures you won't get lost. Here's what's new and how to use it. 1. Preferred Routes Apple Maps uses on-device intelligence to determine the best routes to destinations you visit often, including work, home, and school, and it records the times you usually see those locations. The Maps app can notify you of any traffic or road closures that will affect your commute and provide you with an alternate route so you can arrive on time. If there are any route problems, the same information is displayed in a Maps Suggestions Home Screen widget. Since this is an under-the-hood feature that only activates when necessary, it may not activate if your commute is short and does not involve highways that see a lot of traffic. By selecting Settings > Maps > Location and turning off the "Preferred Routes and Predicted Destinations" option, you can turn it on or off. 2. Voice Controls In the Maps app, the Voice Volume section is now called Voice Controls. Toggles for Muted, Alerts Only, and Unmuted have been introduced to make it easier to change how turn-by-turn directions are sent. In iOS 18, these controls were there, but just as toggles with no explanation on the right side of the screen when turn-by-turn instructions were being given. 3. Liquid Glass Redesign Apple's Liquid Glass revamp, which includes some minor interface adjustments, has been incorporated into the Maps app. Place icons have been enlarged, and the search bar and navigation menu are translucent, allowing you to see some of the Maps background behind them. The numerous menus, cards, and buttons are more rounded than before, and the icons give the appearance of layered glass. The Share Sheet is transparent and features a popover layout. Places is the new name for the Library tab that was available when you tapped your profile photo. It features a new Visited Places section and better spacing. Time of arrival, distance, and travel time are displayed more clearly, and turn-by-turn directions are in a smaller pop-up bar instead of taking up the top of the Maps display. 4. Place Information The Maps app now displays the Call, Menu, and Website buttons at the top of the screen, along with the business's hours and, if available, the order option, when you tap into or type in a location. To get directions to a location, there is now a floating button at the bottom right of the app that is constantly accessible. 5. Visited Place Whether you're traveling or in your neighborhood, Apple Maps may record the locations you've been to. It can keep track of the eateries, stores, parks, and places you visit, allowing you to look back and recall your past whereabouts. Google has long provided a timeline that records visits to locations automatically, and Apple's recently added Visited Places feature is equivalent to the Google Maps Timeline's capabilities. The Maps app notifies you of the new functionality when you update to iOS 26 and gives you the option to opt in or out. By launching the Maps app, touching on your profile image, tapping on Places, and then tapping on Visited Places, you may view your visited places. This interface includes a search function in addition to a list of the places you have visited by month. You can choose to delete your existing history and modify the duration of visits (three months, a year, or forever). Additionally, you can report inaccurate location readings and remove locations one at a time simply by tapping on them. An option to erase all or to clear everything and disable Visited Places completely appears when you clear your history in Apple Maps. By selecting Settings > Apps > Maps > Location, you can opt to disable Visited Places or enable it later. Turn off Visited Places after that. By selecting Privacy and Security > Location Services > Maps, you may also reach the toggle. For Visited Places to function, you must toggle on Precise Location. The locations you have visited are saved on your smartphone. Apple does not upload the data to its servers. 6. Improved Incident Report More incident types have been added, and a new incident button on the right side of the iPhone makes it simpler to report an incident like a wreck when receiving turn-by-turn directions. A crash, speeding violation, traffic, road construction, hazard, or road closure can all be reported. The only options available in iOS 18 are crash, speed check, and danger.

Apple tipped to bring two major display upgrades to iPhone 17 series in September: All you need to know
With just two months left for the iPhone 17 series launch, the rumour mills are in full swing, anticipating the new features lined up for Apple's upcoming flagship models. While many details about the iPhone 17 variants have already leaked, a new report suggests Apple is planning two significant upgrades for the display of its flagship lineup. According to tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) on Weibo, these two upgrades will set the iPhone 17 series apart from its predecessor. The first is the addition of even thinner bezels across the lineup. Last year, Apple stated that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max featured the thinnest bezels on any Apple product. Now, the company is reportedly bringing these thinner bezels to the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air models as well. Notably, Apple is rumoured to remove the Plus variant from its lineup this year in favour of the new, thin and light iPhone 17 Air. The second upgrade tipped for the iPhone 17 series is a new Dynamic Island interface. While the tipster did not elaborate on the differences, a MacRumors report suggests Apple could introduce software-level changes to Dynamic Island on the iPhone 17 series with iOS 26. Previous rumours have also hinted at a smaller Dynamic Island cutout, although it remains uncertain whether Apple will be able to implement this hardware improvement in time for the September launch. Earlier leaks have suggested that the iPhone 17 could receive its biggest display upgrade in years. The base variant may see its display size increase from 6.1 inches on the iPhone 16 to 6.3 inches on the iPhone 17. Additionally, Apple is expected to improve the refresh rate from 60Hz to 90Hz on the base model, while retaining the 120Hz display exclusively for the Pro models. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro variants could finally receive an anti-reflective coating on the Pro and Pro Max models, similar to the protection offered on the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Consumer panel asks Apple, Croma to refund customer's iPhone cost over microphone defect
The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Mumbai (Suburban) held that the 'manufacturer (Apple) merely mentioning certain unauthorized modification or damage in hardware cannot be the correct resolution' for the customer's grievance. Both the manufacturer and the seller are 'jointly and severally liable for the defective product', the commission said in the order passed earlier this month, as the two companies failed to resolve the defect in the device purchased by the customer (now deceased). Mumbai, Jul 20 (PTI) A consumer commission here has directed Apple India and Croma to refund an i-Phone cost of Rs 65,264 to the legal heirs of a customer for failing to resolve a microphone defect in the device, holding the two companies deficient in service. It further ruled that the seller (Croma) too cannot escape liability merely by stating the 'defect is attributable to the manufacturer'. 'Once the product was sold through their outlet, they assumed responsibility for ensuring that the product was free from defects and serviceable,' the commission noted. It said the 'principle of vicarious liability squarely applies', as the seller stands in a position of trust and derives commercial benefit from the sale. The complainant purchased an iPhone 11 for Rs 65,264 from a Croma store in Mumbai on June 4, 2021. Shortly after the purchase, the device developed an issue as the speakerphone function was not working during calls, with specifically 'no speech from mic'. The complainant approached Apple's authorised service centre, but repairs were denied on the grounds of 'unauthorized modifications in the device,' rendering it ineligible for warranty service. Despite repeated complaints and emails, the opposite parties failed to address the grievance, following which the complainant approached the commission. During the course of proceeding, the customer passed away, but the complaint was continued by his legal heirs. The Apple India Private Limited, in its response, admitted the purchase and the issue with the microphone. But it reiterated that the device had unauthorised modifications, voiding the warranty. Infiniti Retail Limited (Croma) failed to appear and was proceeded against ex-parte. The commission, after perusal of documents on record, held that Apple failed to specify exactly which term or condition of the warranty was breached by the complainant. 'Merely referring clauses of warranty terms and condition cannot be sufficient to attribute the particular defect as certain unauthorized modification or damage to software,' it noted. The commission concluded that documents and evidence brought on record are sufficient to ascertain the defect in goods coupled with deficiency in service provided by the opposite parties. It ruled that both the manufacturer and the seller are 'jointly and severally liable for the defective product'. The commission directed both the opposite parties to refund the iPhone cost of Rs 65,264, along with a 6 per cent interest per annum from the date of the complaint (August 6, 2021) until the date of actual payment. The two companies were also directed to pay Rs 15,000 as compensation for mental agony and Rs 2,000 for legal expenses to customer's family.
