"We gave you our main iOS 26 review last week. This time around, we're taking a look at some of the updates targeted at people who rely on their iPhones for much more than making phone calls and browsing the Internet. Many of these features rely on Apple Intelligence, meaning they're only as reliable and helpful as Apple's generative AI (and only available on newer iPhones, besides)."
"The Reminders app gets the Apple Intelligence treatment in iOS 26, with the AI primarily focused on making it easier to organize content within Reminders lists. Lines in Reminders lists are often short, quickly jotted-down blurbs rather than lengthy, detailed complex instructions. With this in mind, it's easy to see how the AI can sometimes lack enough information in order to perform certain tasks, like logically grouping different errands into sensible sections."
iOS 26 introduces a refreshed interface and new capabilities aimed at power users. Several updates rely on Apple Intelligence and require newer iPhone models. Reminders receives AI enhancements that try to organize short list items and extract suggested reminders from shared text such as emails, web pages, and notes. The AI can struggle when list entries lack context, making it unreliable for complex or work-critical summaries. Some adjustments are smaller but practical, improving workflows and organization for people who use iPhones for work tasks. Overall, AI-based features expand organizational possibilities but remain constrained by model reliability and device compatibility.
