Update 6/25/2025: Eight days later, version 36.10.1 on the App Store restores iOS 26 support. Fortnite returned to the U.S. App Store last month after a five year hiatus over litigation between Epic Games and Apple. As of today, however, Fortnite is as good as gone on iPhones and iPads running the iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 beta.

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-26 08:18:03

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s already rumored to be adopting new, active S Pen tracking tech for the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Modern smartphones may have the PDAs of yesteryear in their DNA, but over the past couple decades we’ve seen advancement after advancement take this hardware to

iPadOS 26 feels like Apple finally taking iPad’s training wheels off

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-08-26 12:52:30

iPad users have been asking for software that matches the device’s powerful hardware for years, and with iPadOS 26 this year, Apple may be set to truly deliver that. Here’s why iPadOS 26 feels like the major shift we’ve all been asking for. iPad has a reputation for being held back by software I’ve been an iPad user since the first model in 2010, and used an iPad Pro as my primary computer nearly a decade.

Apple has restored decades of precedent and restored color balance to the Finder icon in macOS Tahoe 26 beta 2. A controversial change in beta 1 was met with a healthy dose of criticism. The issue? Finder has a dark side and a light side. The dark side is located on the left half of the face while the light side makes up the right half.

Apple tweaks Control Center visibility in iOS 26 beta 2

Apple was quick to address what was by far one of the biggest complaints from the first iOS 26 developer beta: Control Center contrast. With beta 2, released earlier today, Apple seems to have tweaked it for better visibility. When Apple introduced the new Control Center UI at WWDC25, the overall design direction looked promising, thanks to the broader Liquid Glass UI overhaul. But there was one glaring usability issue: contrast. In beta 1, many noted that opening Control Center would often le
