Apple could be cooking up something special for the iPhone 17 Pro's color lineup, if a singular rumor out of Asia is anything to go by.
Apple Intelligence Notification Summaries are available on any Apple product that supports Apple Intelligence. The public beta 26 for iOS 26 should launch before the end of July, possibly on July 23, which means that those of you who were waiting can potentially try the notifications feature in the bigger beta program.

The feature appears to be a child safety feature that uses on-device detection, thus obviating any cloud-based privacy issues.
Looking to download the latest iOS 26 beta 4 via OTA profile update or the IPSW links? Here’s how to install Apple’s latest developer beta on your iPhone.

And this time, Apple won’t be debuting a radically new interface or transformative hardware,” writes Gurman.
