Everything New in iOS 26.4 Beta 1

[McTool]

For some reason the Siri is old style View attachment 2605602

I still have the other one but I don’t have Playlist Playground.

Europe

Too early. It’s about integrating into so many services. I would think beta 3 or 4 will have some implementation.

Too early?
LMAO while ROFL.
At WWDC24, Apple unveiled Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system

 

[McTool]

No Playlist Playground.

This emoji captures how I feel about this beta:

this is exactly how siri feels!

can't believe there are still people here that think apple can fix Siri lol

Working as intended. Requires explicit user action (manual tap) to ensure accountability and prevent false positives. Not a bug.

There was no place to tap on the car screen.

Its a bug.

Strange, mine reads it to me and asks if I want to reply. I say no, done.

Mine did not ask me if i wanted to reply. It just kept on reading the same message over and over again.

They will, they have no choice. They said it's coming in 2026 and it will

Our first official Super Siri glimpse will be WWDC in June.

Would guess so. At this point and the rumours I don’t expect any new Siri stuff before iOS 27.
Might be too negative and happy to be wrong here.

They paying a lot of money for the Gemini model or at least giving away some share they’re making with the google search as a standard setting.
At some point we will see these improvements but I’m still skeptical about this on-screen awareness feature they did show at WWDC 2024.

WiFi doesn't work on Apple TV4k after update. My other AppleTV connected via Ethernet still works.

I don't understand all the hate. 26.4 looks like a great update and fills in some features Apple has fallen behind on.

I understand the community is disappointed in Apple of late. Yes, the first-party apps have all fallen way behind, the world has moved to AI, and Apple's contribution looks like, for the first time in the company's history, that they don't get it and are catching up. And God help us, the Liquid Glass and basic, basic, basic, UI sloppiness. But 26.4 shows hope--along with recent hiring--that Apple is going to take software outside of what builds their ecosystem and subscriptions seriously.

I, for one, was happy to read this article.

We need more positivity around here! ❤️

The entire update is pointless without the updated Siri. Why Craig still has a job… Who knows. Tim needs to grow a pair, that’s why people don’t like him.

People don’t like who? Tim? That would be in the bubble known as MacRumors, only.

What? And ruin a forum tradition of unhappiness with Apple going back 20 years?

 

[Spinarelo]

And not a single word about Siri 2.0.

I think the leaks earlier about it being slightly delayed was word from Apple…. I think those were controlled leaks that came from them in order to prepare people.

Happy to be wrong as well. But at this point, I'll wait for what is [hopefully] a more thorough implementation.

When are they going to fix this persistent bug with Find My not actually showing devices locations. Side-by-side next to my iPad mini still on iOS 18, and I can audibly ping all devices and show their location properly. Fails on iPhone running 26.3.

 

[McTool]

I like the playlist playground feature, wished Spotify had something similar.

Not available in Europe

 

[Zenman12]

Still quite a few things missing from this list for macrumors. Not comprehensive.

Genius marketing campaign.
It was announced almost two years ago.
People seem to forget fast.

Yes but if its that good this will be Grate Marketing expecially with all this influencers who will spread it like the greatest thing

 

[nburwell]

Hopefully you can turn off video podcasts feature. I personally have zero use for it (though I primarily use Pocket Casts), but occasionally listen via Apple Podcast app.

 

[Hank001]

--along with recent hiring--

I missed that. Is there a list or articles somewhere? TIA.

 

[RadMac]

So, pretty much bug fixes.

The setting includes a new "Allow Search" toggle that lets trusted Apple devices provide search results to iCloud.com.

What exactly does this mean?
