iOS 26.4.2 Update for iPhones is Coming Soon

[DominikHoffmann]

Can we expect a corresponding update for macOS?

I wouldn't be surprised that iOS 26.4.2 corrects the bug that allows a person to drain connected liquid assets if a transit car is connected to a Visa account.

Devices with the N1 chip don't connect to Wi-Fi 7 after 26.4.

How does one tell which version of WIFI your iPhone is connected? I've got WIFI 7 and my iPhone 17 Pro Max does a speed test at 941 Mbps down, so I assumed it was connecting at WIFI 7 since when I had WIFI 6E, I peaked around 650-700 or so.

Some routers/access points will tell you which Wi-Fi version clients connect with. I use an eero network which will show me in the app which clients use Wi-Fi 7 (eero app -> Settings -> Troubleshooting -> eero device upgrade report). Anyone using a Ubiquiti network would also see this information in their web UI.

I don't think iOS exposes this info anywhere in the system, unfortunately.

I hope there is a corresponding iPadOS that eliminates the need to do a hard reset every couple of days on a new iPad air because of a lack of touch responsiveness. Really looking forward to the "snow leopard" approach. I hope it's true...

Anyone wishing to avoid 26.5 will probably be forced to install this one quickly as they will likely keep the installation window for it very small, by refusing to sign it any longer once 26.5 releases

Apple has access to Mythos. Undoubtedly, they have uncovered major previously unknown high severity vulnerabilities and are starting to patch them. Some will be trivial to patch others will take time. This is very good news. It means Mythos is working and apple is paying attention.

iOS 26.4.2 will come after iOS 26.4.1 and before iOS 26.5.

lol. we are now at MR Kindergarten niveau.

It probably has one extra emoji they forgot to add last time.

And of course, Safari will be snappier.

Looks like a very small update. Don't know whether I should install it or wait till 26.5 launches.

Has anyone else noticed a huge improvement in speech to text quality in the past couple of updates?

I’ve notified a definition improvisation.
