yo so iOS 26.4 is basically the next big iPhone update and honestly it sounds pretty cool for once, like not just “bug fixes” and then nothing happens
Right now it’s still in beta, but the vibes are pointing to a late March release for everyone. The article basically looks at how Apple does the whole “.4” update thing every year and it’s almost always March, and since the first iOS 26.4 beta showed up on February 16, 2026 it matches the pattern of the ones that landed late March in the past
And the actual features list is kinda stacked. Like Apple Music is getting a bunch of changes including that AI Playlist Playground thing (which sounds like you type a mood and it just makes a playlist, which is honestly the dream if your too lazy to make one). Podcasts is getting a more modern video experience too, which is wild because Apple is clearly trying to make Podcasts feel less crusty. Then CarPlay is doing more AI stuff and even video playback support, which is either gonna be awesome or a total chaos situation depending on how it’s handled
Also the Health app is getting new Sleep and Vitals data, and I know some people are super into that, personally I just wanna know why I’m always tired but ok Apple go off
My take, this update seems like one of those “actually fun” ones, like your gonna update and notice stuff right away, not just pretend you do. I’m mostly hyped for the Apple Music changes because I live in my headphones and I need my playlists to stop being so boring
