Apple releases OS 26.2 updates

Wrapping things up for the calendar year, Apple has released its final OS 26.2 updates for Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

Perhaps the biggest changes are on the iPad, which has added a bunch of new ways to multitask using the Dock, including to create/change a Slide Over app and dragging app icons to automatically have them fill half of the screen.

Other new features include more customization of the time in the iOS lock screen, a new method to grant AirDrop permission via a numerical code, and a new “Edge Light” on macOS that places a white ring on your display to increase the overall brightness when you’re on a video call.
