Episode notes
Virtual Ring Light With Smart Tuning
- Edge Light simulates a ring light by placing a virtual light around your Mac display to illuminate your face during video calls.
- It uses the Mac neural engine and image signal processor to detect your face and tune brightness intelligently.
Works Across Apps And Adapts To Cursor
- Edge Light integrates with FaceTime and third-party apps like WebEx, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams for consistent lighting across calls.
- The feature also hides when the cursor nears screen edges so it doesn't block content access.
Multitasking Restored And Enhanced
- iPadOS 26.2 restores and improves multitasking by blending Mac-like windowing with familiar SlideOver and Split View behaviors.
- You can now drag apps from the dock or Spotlight to enter SlideOver or Split View with a live morphing preview.
