Apple is reportedly testing iOS 26.2, expected to launch in mid-December. The update may introduce a new alarm feature for the Reminders app, allowing alerts to function like traditional clock alarms with snooze and stop options. Enhancements to the Lock Screen are also anticipated, including a 'Liquid Glass' slider for clock customization, offering adjustable transparency levels. Some features might be region-specific, particularly for users in Japan, while others are expected to be globally available.
