  • Is the redesigned battery section in iOS 26 settings completely worthless?

    In my view, the most important battery statistic is solely the screen-on time since the last full charge. This is what most users genuinely care about.

    There have been two notable changes in the battery section of Settings. The first change occurred in iOS 12, which transitioned from “usage time since last full charge” to “screen-on time in the last 24 hours.”

    Prior to this update, the usage time metric included everything: screen-on time, screen-off time such as music playback, and system activations during standby. As a result, the displayed usage time was often inflated.

    For example, an iPhone 6s user might show 8 hours of usage time with 50% battery remaining, even though achieving 8 hours of screen-on time is practically impossible. While iOS 12 addressed some of these issues by adding screen-on time, it introduced a significant flaw.

    To find the relevant screen-on time, users must manually sum the individual bars after unplugging their device, as the “screen-on” figure only displays the last 24 hours’ statistics. This can be problematic, especially if a user’s charging cycle exceeds 24 hours, making it necessary to manually track screen-on time before it disappears.

    With iOS 26, the situation becomes even more complicated. It retains the issues of iOS 12 while obscuring the statistics further.

    Now, the upper section indicates battery consumption since midnight, while the lower part shows battery percentage per hour. Unfortunately, there is no indication of partial screen-on time anymore.

    Consequently, users cannot determine screen-on time since the last full charge. For instance, if I use my phone until 2 AM, unplug it at 7 AM, and then use it again later that day before recharging, the SOT shown would aggregate data from three separate cycles, offering no way to assess usage per cycle.

    This change seems counterproductive as it undermines the clarity of battery statistics without any apparent benefit.

  • Glad to Be Back!

    I’ve really missed all of my Apple Watch friends, and I hope each of you is doing well. It’s been a challenging time for me, as I’ve been dealing with numerous injuries, but I’m on the road to recovery.

    I became quite unwell and made a drastic decision to jump from the Humber Bridge. As a result, I suffered several serious injuries, including a fractured neck, fractured vertebrae, a fractured fibula, broken ribs, and a blood clot in my lungs.

    Surprisingly, I survived this traumatic experience, and many people consider my survival a miracle. Right now, I’m taking my medication and focusing on my healing process.

    I appreciate all the support from my friends here. While I did manage to avoid surgery, I was closely monitored after coming out of a coma.

    I was grateful for the care I received during that time. I understand that some comments might come off as inappropriate given my situation, and I appreciate your understanding.

    It’s reassuring to hear from you all, and I look forward to catching up as I regain my strength. Life’s ups and downs have taught me to take things one day at a time.

    Even in tough moments, I find humor in the little things, which has helped me cope. Also, I recently ordered a slate Milanese loop for my Apple Watch.

    It will complement my natural titanium S10 nicely. I’m excited to see how it looks!

    Thank you all for your kind words; let’s keep supporting one another as we navigate through our challenges.

  • ARM Macs: The New Windows Vista Machines of 2025

    I’ve encountered a frustrating issue with my machine that has 32GB of RAM, as it struggles to handle basic workflows. These tasks are typically manageable on a computer that is 15 years old, yet it’s causing my memory to overflow and filling up my available disk space. The constant need to restart the machine is quite concerning.

    The culprits behind this memory drain are Apple’s own background processes, not third-party applications. I took a closer look at one of these “Apple apps” and discovered that it is continuously scanning my entire computer for “media.” The alarming part is that I never requested Apple to carry out such activity.

    With the emergence of ARM Macs, it feels reminiscent of the days of Windows Vista, with all the associated inefficiencies. It’s shocking to find myself relying on cloud computing rather than local resources due to the inadequacies of Mac OS in 2025. My experience has led me to question the direction of Apple’s software development and their focus on user control over background processes.

    As the technology landscape continues to evolve, I believe there is a pressing need for companies like Apple to rethink their approach. Users today seek seamless performance without sacrificing system resources to unwanted activities. If this trend continues, many loyal users may find themselves exploring alternatives, as reliance on clunky software can turn a once-beloved product into a frustrating burden.

    Ultimately, it’s essential for Apple to prioritize user experience and efficiency in their operating systems moving forward.

  • iOS 26 Beta 2 Released: Discover Bug Fixes, Enhancements, and Updates

    iOS 26 Beta 2 has been released on June 23, 2025, with the build number 23A5276f. This version continues to evolve the iOS platform, incorporating new features and fixing existing issues.

    Developers and testers are encouraged to report any bugs they encounter using the Feedback app. If beta settings are set to “None,” users can still access the app through a specific URL via Safari.

    The release notes offer detailed information about new and resolved issues, as well as notable features in this beta version. To install the beta version over-the-air, users should navigate to Settings, select General, then Software Updates, and enable Beta Updates.

    It is crucial to ensure that the correct Apple account is signed in before choosing the preferred beta type. Users are advised to refresh the update section and back up their data to either a computer or iCloud before proceeding with the installation.

    For Mac users looking to install the beta, having the Xcode beta or the MobileDevice.pkg is essential. A backup is advisable in case it’s necessary to revert to a previous version.

    While holding down the Option key, users can check for updates or restore their iPhones using the IPSW file obtained from the Apple Developer site. It is important to note that restoring will erase all data, so careful preparation is necessary.

    Lastly, there’s a comprehensive listing of iOS compatibility for several iPhone models, ensuring users have the necessary information related to their devices across various regions and networks. In summary, iOS 26 Beta 2 presents essential updates while urging users to contribute to its improvement through feedback.

    Regular backups and adherence to installation guidelines will help ensure a smooth transition for beta users.

  • The MacRumors Show: Analyzing WWDC 2025 Rumors—What We Got Right and What We Missed

    In this week’s episode of The MacRumors Show, we review some of the most significant rumors surrounding WWDC 2025. We assess which predictions were accurate and where they fell short, giving a kind of rumor report card.

    One unexpected claim leading up to WWDC 2025 was the suggestion that iOS 26 would introduce Stage Manager for iPhones equipped with USB-C ports. Nonetheless, this feature was not announced, illustrating how expectations surrounding pro features can sometimes lead to misleading predictions.

    Another unfulfilled rumor involved the long-discussed homeOS platform. Recent trademark filings hinted at the potential unveiling of a new smart home operating system, yet WWDC 2025 revealed no such developments.

    This serves as a reminder that trademark activity does not always correlate with product launches. Some predictions, however, were partly accurate.

    Jon Prosser’s Front Page Tech revealed several iOS 26 Liquid Design changes, including a floating tab bar and an overall translucent interface. However, his assertion regarding circular app icons proved incorrect.

    Similarly, leaker “Majin Bu” accurately predicted the adoption of a Mac-like menu bar in iPadOS 26, although the notion that it would only appear when using a Magic Keyboard was mistaken. Mark Gurman’s reporting prior to WWDC 2025 was notably comprehensive, accurately describing the new naming conventions and major design changes, including the Liquid Glass aesthetic.

    His insights into new features in Phone and Messages, as well as the arrival of new stock apps on iOS 26, exhibited a high level of accuracy. Overall, WWDC 2025 offered a mix of accurate and inaccurate rumors.

    It highlighted how not every prediction, no matter the source, translates into reality during Apple’s keynote events. Be sure to subscribe to The MacRumors Show for weekly discussions on the latest news, featuring notable guests and expert commentary.
