Buy a new iPhone in August if you really need one and update the OS the next August if you really want to.
This year long iPhone merry-go-round we go through each year starting in September with new unfinished software - is insanity.

iPadOS 26 was mostly a step back IMO. I'm glad they are adding back slide over apps, but I would be even more appreciative for an option for simplified window management like in iPadOS 18. I don't need to be able to resize an app from every side like the left side which conflicts with back gestures. I should not be able to move most of the app window off screen -- that is MS Windows 11 level jank. Come on Apple... 18 positioned and resized apps in a smart way for touch. 26 feels like it just wants me to use it like a laptop but without any real laptop OS features.
Completely wrong. Only with iPadOS 26 has the iPad become a truly relevant device for me. Before that, it was just a nice toy. Everyone sees such devices and systems differently. I really hope that this trend continues and that the iPad and Mac devices become even more similar. With the new Windows Management on the iPad, I am getting closer to my goal of working in parallel. Before, this singular way of working was far too restrictive for me. I want to be able to decide whether I want to focus on working with one app or do several things at once. Now I can.
Can someone go and wake up the teams working on Pages/Numbers/Keynote and Pixelmator please? 🙄
Pretty sure the standard practice is to leave existing bugs, create new ones, and bump the version number.
No, it doesn't release for everyone at the same time. It takes time for to update image to propagate to update servers around the world. It's not an instantaneous kind of thing.
If anyone has the latest Tahoe beta, does the Music app (formerly known as iTunes, not the streaming service) still have the UI problem with the playlist duration being at the bottom of the list, where you have to scroll to see it? Thanks!
Gave up on the idea. It’s pointless.
I want both. Can I please have both? If I'm trying to do real job work, I need three windows onscreen and I can use the new system to do that. If I am watching a video/show/movie and want to quickly look something up, it's far easier to just do a quick slideover of Safari on top of the fullscreen video playing, than go through the numerous steps necessary to make that happen in the new system.
Software is never finished. Well, I guess it IS once it’s done being developed. Like iWeb, for instance. That software is finished!
Some folks think OSX was a step back from OS9. I mean, the first version didn’t even support PCMCIA cards, so they must have rolled everything back to OS9 by now, right?
what the iOS 26 betas did to my 15 pro's battery will forever make me not trust betas anymore. even the full release of iOS 26 never fixed it. I have the 17 pro now and no thank you. I'll wait till official release from here on out. I'm scarred for life with betas now.
