Apple will release iOS 26.5 next week, adding changes to Apple Maps, Messages, the App Store, Reminders and wallpapers. Apple Maps will show recommended places when users tap the search bar. Messages will add beta support for end-to-end encryption for RCS, though not all carriers will offer it immediately. The App Store will support a 12-month commitment paid monthly in most countries, excluding the United States and Singapore.

Tim Cook will step down as Apple’s chief executive on Sept. 1. Cook, who took over from Steve Jobs in 2011, led the company for about 15 years and grew Apple’s corporate value from $350 billion to about $4 trillion, while expanding beyond the iPhone into wearables, payments, streaming and augmented reality. He cited the 2012 launch of Apple Maps as his biggest mistake and named the Apple Watch as his proudest achievement.
