On September 10, 2025, Apple unveiled the iOS 26 RC (Release Candidate) version, which brings an innovative feature that enables iPhone icons to harmonize their colors with the user's phone case. To utilize this function, users simply need to long - press the iPhone's home screen, access the customization settings, and then tap on the iPhone phone case icon located at the bottom of the 'Hue' menu. Subsequently, the home screen icons will automatically adjust their colors to either match or closely approximate the hue of the phone case.

It's important to note that this feature is specifically designed to work with Apple MagSafe cases that are recognized by the iPhone. If a non - recognized case is used, the feature may not function as intended. In addition to the automatic color - matching, users also have the flexibility to manually change the icon colors or select them based on a chosen wallpaper.

Moreover, Apple has announced that the official version of iOS 26 will be rolled out on September 16, offering users a more seamless and personalized mobile experience.
