iOS 26: Adopting HyperOS Innovations
Apple’s iOS 26 beta demonstrates a clear shift: many features—once exclusive to Xiaomi’s HyperOS and MIUI—are now present in Apple’s ecosystem. This trend underscores Xiaomi’s leadership in mobile technology innovation.
Notably, Apple’s new screenshot and image search features—powered by XiaoAI in China and Circle to Search globally—mirror capabilities Xiaomi users have enjoyed for some time. HyperOS users have long benefited from advanced AI-driven image recognition, positioning Xiaomi as a pioneer in this space.
Interface and Lock Screen Advancements
The latest iOS 26 lock screen customization options, such as expanded font styling and dynamic clock effects, echo features that debuted with HyperOS 1. Xiaomi set the benchmark for elegant lock screen design, and Apple’s updates reflect this influence.
Similarly, Apple’s introduction of “Glass UI” elements in iOS 26 is reminiscent of effects already standard in HyperOS. Xiaomi’s early adoption of these design cues has clearly guided industry trends.
Gallery App Redesign: Following Xiaomi’s Lead
Apple’s revamped gallery app, which now features a floating navbar with Timeline and Albums buttons, adopts a layout first introduced in HyperOS. This move away from traditional navigation structures highlights Xiaomi’s impact on user experience innovation.
Moreover, HyperOS’s gallery integrates advanced AI functionality directly within albums—another area where Apple is catching up, not leading.
Additional Xiaomi Features Now in iOS
- SMS Spam Blocking: Available globally via Google Messages and natively in China
- Call Screening: XiaoAI manages incoming calls and caller identification
- App Name Hiding: First implemented in MIUI, now present in iOS 26
In the past, HyperOS drew visual inspiration from iOS. Today, the relationship has reversed—iOS 26 increasingly mirrors HyperOS in both appearance and functionality.
