"Late Night Mode" is now "Reduce Loud Sounds" in Settings > Sounds and Haptics. It also contains helpful footer text describing the feature:."Reduces audio volume range and creates softer sound effects, while maintaining the quiet details of the original audio."

Not sure what this new Network Endpoint Picker UI app in iOS 26 beta 3 is but I assume it is related to the DeviceDiscoveryUI and Network Framework introduced at WWDC 2022 (tvOS 16) but instead of supporting connecting devices to tvOS (think using the iPhone as a controller for a
