Apple Music just got another new widget in iOS 26 beta 2, bringing the total number of new Music widgets in iOS 26 to three.

Apple was quick to address what was by far one of the biggest complaints from the first iOS 26 developer beta: Control Center contrast.

OS 26 adds a new Recovery Assistant feature to iPhones, and it can help return the device to a working state if and when necessary.

Apple is negotiating last-minute changes to its App Store to avoid escalating EU fines under the Digital Markets Act, with key DMA deadlines looming.
