Did they fix the bug that the iPhone Air Magsafe Battery Pack always charges the phone to 100%? This was introduced with 26.4.

Mine limited to 90% yesterday on 26.4.1. The only time it’s gone to 100% recently is when MagSafe was plugged up to USB C, then stuck to my iPhone Air (due to a wet charge port).

I wonder if your install is bugged? Have others reported it?

You should see something like the following at the beginning of the conversation.

One of the changes: now when snoozing a Reminder, it'll say "Remind me at 6:00 PM" instead of "Remind me at night". Same goes for the other timed reminders.

Grouped and alphabetic in the group, try to change the C to D or something that will make it come after case

Thx. Tried that. Pro is v3, C is v2. I named them their respective version and it still didn’t group nor alphabetize.
I know what they are just surprised. Not sure how Apple “groups” devices.

UPDATE: Renamed everything (but the Pencil 😕) to start with “dk “, removed them from all devices, then re-added them. Now they are grouped. 😁. Still have no clue how Apple decides how this feature works.

No problems here with that. Delete and reinstall Citibank app. I’ve had to do that before.

Didn’t work; restored my device as new and the same issue.

Back to Citibank per Apple (had a support call).

Update: Citi seems to be at a loss. Told me to try adding my card again to Apple Pay in 24/48hrs.

Has anybody noticed any HomeKit issues with beta 3?

On my iPhone on beta 3, HomeKit just entirely stops working the moment I'm not on the same Wi-Fi network. I have 3 hubs, and I continue to get Home notifications while off Wi-Fi, just the app itself says no response.

On my Mac (also Beta 3) it's even weirder. The App just refuses to see that I have a Home already, despite it being enabled in iCloud, and just makes a new home with no accessories instead.
 
I have to say as 14 pro user iOS 26 is just a trash. It’s choking as hell, fast swiping, launching apps makes it super hot, apps won’t stay long in background, plus promotion rarely ramps up to 120Hz. I changed battery and shows 100% health but it just simply sucks. I keep that phone because I like it but mom they really need to work on next version and get rid off these glitches

What is the point of shipping of update on older iPhone if using them is frustrating? I wish I could come back to iOS 18 for smooth performance.

And is adoption for the updated universal profile still fragmented on the Android side? (Google Messages is good but different vendors like LG & Sammy might not have updated their message app)

It’s amazing how many Android users don’t realize that the pre-installed messaging client isn’t all there is in that space.

I had issues with my garage door, which stopped responding until I rebooted my hub (Apple TV). Since reboot no new issues.

I've had this from time to time. Not in a year or two, but it's definitely a real issue and apologies to you.

I do not have the Citi app - although the Wells Fargo app was able to add my wife's new card, before the card arrived, which was neat.

Hopefully beta 4 is released Monday and that fixes it because I still can’t add my Citibank card to Apple Pay and Citi support is clueless.
 
I’m chatting with an Android user now and am seeing the typing indicator in the chat as they type to me. I haven’t seen that before I installed 26.5 beta 3.
 
Screenshot issues. When sending screenshots to non iPhone user, the ones I take in 3rd party apps look blurry. But those shot in Apple apps look clear. Kinda weird. Apparently, the screenshots in 3rd party apps remain HEIF went sent to non iPhones, and look blurry.
