What to Expect From iOS 26.4

[CarAnalogy]

So to summarize the Friday news,

More fees, more ads, everything is more expensive, and everything is a subscription.

iOS updates are always relatively minor, and new emojis are the standout feature.

Now I'm just waiting for Apple Savings Account APY to be lowered again.

That's the news from every Friday in the last...what five years at least? Ten?

Truly, we live in an age of wonders.

Apple is apparently working on a new sports tier for the Apple TV app

That explains the Sports app. Finally.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks it's sad when new emojis are listed as "new features" in an OS update.

When will that public bet hit? I suspect to see an up-tick in those joining the pubic beta program.

Apparently, Apple considers the opinion of adolescent Snapchat know-nothings over the adults who make the purchases.

Or the adults are all broke and the basement-dwelling offspring are the only ones with money.

What to expect in any iOS update going forward? Subscription services and Ads

Further disappointment?

Yup.

Still waiting for RCS updates. Announced before iOS 26 was announced and no sign of it.

26.4?! I’m sorry, but when did iOS 26, 26.1, etc. come out? I just have missed those.

 

[PCtoMAC1]

Wow, new emoji. Too bad Steve Jobs died.

How long has the guy been dead? Get over it.

Still waiting on 26.3. One month and only 2 betas so far.

 

[Jimmy Bubbles]

Whoa! Pump the brakes. We haven’t even seen 26.3 yet.

 

[MNJohn]

Cannot wait until Cook retires and this nonsense stops.

The bad part is that the delay only will magnify the shortcomings. The features that have been delayed and overhyped sound mediocre at best. Maybe it can and will do far more than what we envision at the moment… but I doubt it. The pace at which Siri is falling behind is accelerating. Even if they nail this version of Siri, I don’t see how it still won’t be two or three years or more behind the competition.
