iOS 26

It was supposed to be, but recent reports are that Siri 2.0 (Gemini) has been delayed again.

Oh dear. They can’t seem to get it right. Maybe the delay will be worth it…

This delay stuff is bit overblown. All they ever said was it will come this year. They never said it will be in February or a specific update.

Yes, it was the tech journos who were saying that it was coming in 26.4, not Apple themselves.

26.4 is just the first developer beta at the moment, BTW. I tend to jump in around beta 4 if it’s looking stable.

In defence of the tech journos, new Siri was due in 2024 and has been coming ā€œthis yearā€ ever since. Apple did this to themselves.

It’s 2026 now and Siri is miles behind the competition.

The blogs were basing on some lines of code that been earlier seen and thought it would probably be in 18.4. I saw many claim it will be on 18.4/5

Has anyone noticed that on some sites or apps while paying with Apple pay the default payment card icon is shown in the button?
In the screenshot my Lloyds WE card icon is shown.

I have updated to the latest dev beta, there’s now a requirement to verify being 18+ due to UK law, to remove certain restrictions.

Seen this floating about the web for Australia.

Just need all social media platforms to up the age to 18 and be done with it.

There’s also this. Wondering why my account didn’t get this option.

The slow App Store issue is fixed so that’s something.

The age verification….Apple said this was an error on the last beta.

I’ve had mine 19 years so that should prove I’m over 18 :joy:
