Do yourself a favour and turn these on once you’ve upgraded to iOS 26.

This alert on iOS 26 kind of annoyed me. End users should not have to understand multitasking and the OS should be taking care of closing app. This just encourages that behaviour of users swiping away all their apps in the app switcher.
A smartphone screen showing a warning message: "Recording video while multitasking with multiple apps may result in lower quality videos. For best results, record when not multitasking." The message appears over a camera view of people on a boat with the sea and a clear blue sky in the background.

I have a total boner over Fairphone's detailed specifications of their USB cable. This is the first cable manufacturer I've ever seen list this stuff. It's so rare that I literally own a cable tester so I can extract this data myself.

Now if they could make this […]

I do think iOS 26 does a good job of picking photos and laying out the background. Particularly enjoying this one.
Lock screen of a smartphone showing the time as 16:39 on Saturday, 9 August. The background image features the Berlin TV Tower (Fernsehturm) against a blue sky with some clouds. A media player is displayed, showing "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" playing on "Living Room TV," paused at 5:50. The weather widget indicates 23°C, mostly sunny, with a high of 24°C and a low of 11°C. Battery at 68%.

Im convinced this is a long standing iOS bug. The device isn’t too hot, it’s just hit 80% charge. It always happens at 80%. It’s looking after battery health.

This has existed as a bug for several major OS versions now but I’ve never seen anyone else talk about it.
"iPhone screen showing a charging alert: 'Charging on Hold: iPhone Temperature.' The battery is at 80%, and charging will resume when the iPhone returns to a normal temperature."

So talking to German friend, we got onto Ritter Sport. I said I like "Praline" and he didn't know the word. He said "Oh yeah that's Nougat in germany". The Ritter website has it listed as Praline in the UK but the top level menu item clearly shows it as "Nougat" […]
