Apple just dropped iOS 26 on millions of Americans today, and Big Tech is changing how you use your phone whether you like it or not. The tech giant is forcing a massive visual overhaul called Liquid Glass on iPhone users across the country. This is the biggest design change since 2013, and Apple is making these decisions for you without asking what you actually want.
The new software brings something called call screening that will listen to your phone calls. Apple claims this feature helps block spam, but many Americans are asking why a corporation needs to monitor their private conversations. The company says it is protecting users, but conservatives know that giving tech companies more access to personal data never ends well.
Apple is also rolling out AI features that can translate phone calls in real time. Sounds convenient, right? Wrong. These artificial intelligence tools only work on the most expensive iPhone models that cost over a thousand dollars. Apple is creating a two-tier system where wealthy Americans get the best features while working families are left behind.
The update includes something called Hold Assist that will wait on hold for you during customer service calls. While this might save time, it gives Apple even more control over how Americans communicate with businesses. Tech companies already have too much power over our daily lives, and this is just another step toward complete digital dependence.
iPhone users will also see changes to their camera app and home screen that many did not ask for. Apple is forcing these visual changes on everyone, showing once again how liberal Silicon Valley thinks it knows what is best for hardworking Americans. The company could have made these features optional, but instead chose to force them on users.
The most troubling part is how Apple Intelligence requires the newest and most expensive phones. This means families who cannot afford to upgrade every few years get left with inferior technology. Apple is creating digital inequality while claiming to care about inclusion and fairness.
Conservative Americans should be concerned about how much personal information these new features collect. Call screening, AI translation, and hold assistance all require sending your private conversations to Apple servers. The company promises to protect this data, but we have heard these promises from Big Tech before.
Patriots who value privacy and choice should think twice before rushing to install iOS 26. Apple is pushing these changes to increase their control over American consumers while making billions in profit. Real Americans deserve technology that serves them, not the other way around.
