| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Tuesday, November 4th, 2025. I'm your host, Chance Miller. We're |
| 0:09.7 | sponsored this week by Backblaze. Leading off today, Apple has officially released iOS 26.1 for iPhone |
| 0:17.2 | users everywhere. The biggest news from iOS 26.1 is the new Liquid Glass toggle. |
| 0:24.0 | In the display and brightness menu in the Settings app, you'll see a new Liquid Glass option |
| 0:28.9 | where you can choose between Clear and Tented. |
| 0:32.2 | The clear option is the same version of Liquid Glass that debuted with iOS 26 last month. |
| 0:38.6 | Tented, however, is a more opaque option that reduces the transparency of the liquid glass design. It's clear that this |
| 0:44.7 | is a way for Apple to address some of the complaints around liquid glass, as fewer as far |
| 0:50.2 | between they may be, without compromising the overall liquid glass design for people who do |
| 0:55.5 | like it. If you find yourself accidentally activating the camera app from the lock screen, iOS 26.1 |
| 1:02.1 | has a new toggle to address that. Open the settings app, choose camera, and look for the new lock screen |
| 1:07.8 | swipe option. If you toggle this off, you'll no longer be able to swipe left |
| 1:12.7 | on the lock screen to jump straight into the camera. iOS 26.1 redesigns the alarm screen to make it |
| 1:19.6 | harder to accidentally dismiss your alarms in the morning and oversleep. Now you'll have to slide |
| 1:24.8 | to stop your alarm every morning instead of just tapping a large dismiss option. |
| 1:30.2 | Live translation with AirPods has expanded to support Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Italian. |
| 1:36.3 | Two changes in the music app include that the mini player at the bottom of the screen now has a swipe gesture, |
| 1:42.3 | so you can go to the next or previous track with a simple swipe. |
| 1:46.3 | Automix is also now supported over Airplay. This is the feature in the music app that creates |
| 1:51.8 | seamless transitions from each song using artificial intelligence for a DJ-like experience. |
| 1:58.8 | Other small changes include gain control for external USB microphones, |
| 2:03.9 | the ability to save those local capture files to specific locations, manual workout logging |
