iOS 26 Cheat Sheet: What to Know About the Upcoming iPhone Update

Apple announced at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June that it will release iOS 26 (not iOS 19) this fall -- I'm predicting in less than 10 days. The update will bring a new Liquid Glass design, call screening and more to your iPhone. Developers and beta testers can try all those new features now. *Note that iOS 26 is still in beta, so features might not work properly.

What to do with an old iPad

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-08 05:14:16

I recently inherited my parents’ old iPad 2. It had iOS 9 on it and was barely usable, in part due to how slow it was but mostly because of old SSL certificates and apps stopping support. But I wanted to give it some life because I hate to see a working machine go to waste. So I asked around and got a great answer: The iPad 2 can be downgraded to iOS 6.1.3 or 8.4.1. Both offer better performance than iOS 9 and have untethered jailbreaks. Once downgraded and jailbroken you can sideload hours and

iOS 26 introduces higher quality screen recordings for iPhone and iPad

9to5mac.com Dylan Mcdonald 2025-10-09 21:37:51

For the first time, iOS 26 will let you record the screen of your iPhone or iPad in its full resolution, resulting in higher-quality and better-looking screen captures. Screen recording was first introduced with iOS 11, finally providing an easy way to capture what’s on your screen without using a computer. Since then, the resolution of those recordings has been limited to a maximum of 1920px in either height or width. This means that all modern iPhones have recorded at 884×1920, which on an iP

The update also removes many of the existing wallpaper options that were still hanging around from older iOS versions. CarPlay in iOS 26 includes nine wallpaper choices.

You're probably used to finding the must-watch genre shows at places like Netflix, Disney Plus and even Apple TV Plus. Those streaming services are packed with good stuff, but the Amazon-owned streamer should not be slept on.

CarPlay in iOS 26 enables ‘video in the car’, but there’s a catch

Apple is making a major U-turn with CarPlay after a decade of not allowing video playback. Starting with iOS 26, Apple will allow apps to display video through the CarPlay screen while parked. Support, however, is a big question mark for now. The new capability falls under the name ‘video in the car’ and is mentioned on Apple’s developer website for CarPlay: AirPlay video in the car enables people to watch their favorite videos from iPhone right on their CarPlay display when they aren’t drivi

It’s turning out to be a huge year for CarPlay, surprising many of us after years of middling updates.
