Apple Seeds Second iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5 Betas to Developers

[Chameleon94x]

So does this confirm that RCS end to end encryption, with no other UP 3.0 features, are coming to 26.5? Really would like better clarity. And to be clear, I'm not gonna give Apple a pass if this is the case. Don't take credit for adopting a standard, and a technology you didn't author, and then act smug about it. Still waiting Apple. Your play.

For nearly a year everything in hardware and software is "delayed", and what DO we get??
ADS!!!

Guys , what if Apple like: “You know guys, **** AI” we have our own road . How sick it might be…

Isn’t that basically what has happened? They very loudly hopped on the bandwagon, it made them look bad, and they quietly hopped off the bandwagon, leavimg it up to other companies.

They just didn’t say it publicly.

It might have ended up being a more profitable strategy for them. For all the talk, it doesn’t look like Apple has plowed massive amounts of money and resources into AI as many other corporations have.

Instead they made a budget MacBook.

I'd happily lay a bet that the return on investment (as percentage) on designing, producing and selling the Neo is far higher than the return on investment on AI across the board.

At least the Neo is "useful" but like all computer devices today, unless one never connects to the internet, big brother is aware.

Most folks do not live in a faraday cage, so we the people have no way to be sure that ANY electonioc device is actually turned off and or transmitting information wirelessly. Most homes today have WiFi of some type. Very easy for anything electronic to "phone home".

Sleep tight. Big Brother is watching tonight.......
