9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-29 11:21:47

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-11-29 11:45:22

It’s turning out to be a huge year for CarPlay, surprising many of us after years of middling updates. Among the host of new CarPlay features coming in iOS 26, there’s a key fix for what’s long been the most annoying Messages issue for me: the lack of tapbacks support. CarPlay in iOS 26 adds support for Messages tapbacks Ever since Apple unveiled the “next generation of CarPlay” in 2022, new updates for the standard CarPlay experience have been fairly underwhelming.

Since the iPad's original release 15 years ago, Instagram had never been available in the App Store as a download for Apple's tablet. Instead, users had been stuck with the workaround mobile version, which awkwardly failed to stretch to the iPad's larger screen size. It's not clear why Instagram took so long to appear on the iPad.

Ben Collins made a big bet. A year ago, just a few months after he’d been named CEO of The Onion, he relaunched its print edition. Once a favorite on university campuses, The Onion hadn’t published a physical issue since 2013. Common wisdom said that readership, and advertising dollars, just weren’t there for newspapers. But Collins, a fan of the satirical paper since childhood, thought “that’s dumb.” Readers celebrated The Onion’s relaunch and the ability to read all of its bitingly funny head
