Oh, look, another patch! But wait, aren’t iPhones famously unhackable? Clearly, Mythos found a tiny glitch in that narrative. Just imagine the pure comedy gold at Apple when leadership discovered the hot garbage their highly paid software engineers have been delivering.

Can’t say I’ve noticed this before but when switching from the emoji keyboard back to the keyboard, the language appears on the space bar then fades away.

And if it’s not new then I’ve clearly not been paying attention for a year 😂

I’m sorry to break it then, but that’s not new.
 
I will not, because my phone will not be supported.
And you know this how?
iOS 8 and nine, and then again with 11 and 12, and then again with 1314 and 15, andagain with 17 and 18 supported the exact same selection of iPhones.
As far as we know, iOS 26 and 27 may have the same compatibility list.

As someone else said, it's not new. But what's interesting is that it actually displays the iOS 18 and older space bar when doing so. Kind of annoying once you see it, but I guess I don't use emoji enough for it to be a problem!

FWIW, virtually every "credible" leaker said that iOS 13 wouldn't run on iPhone SE or 6s/6s Plus. They ended up being supported until iOS 16 came out and still receive iOS 15.8.X updates to this day.

Maybe that’s why I’ve noticed it and it seems so jarring?
