It says something about the incremental nature of mobile operating-system updates these days that my immediate payoff for installing Apple’s iPadOS 18 on my iPad mini 6–a 37-minute process Saturday afternoon, during which I couldn’t use the tablet for five minutes–was the addition of a calculator app.
Yes, the basic math application that shipped with the original Mac as a “Desk Accessory” applet, and which has remained absent from Apple’s iPad software since I watched Steve Jobs introduce the first one in 2010. Fourteen years later, it’s nice to know that iPad buyers won’t have to make installing PCalc one of their first tablet-setup tasks.
There’s more to iPadOS 18 than that, even setting aside the not-yet-shipped AI features that lead off Apple’s pitch for this release: a new standalone Passwords app (not relevant to me because I use 1Password), a new Privacy & Security category in the Settings app, the ability to require Touch ID authentication to open an app (and then hide that app’s presence behind Touch ID). But none of this stuff struck me as a reason to reach for my tablet when Apple shipped this release a month ago so I could install it right then.
I’m not writing that to knock Apple, because I have about the same reaction to Google’s Android 15 after installing it on a Pixel 8a right after I put iPadOS 18 on the iPad.
The standout features in this update are privacy and security tools that you hope you won’t need–a set of Theft Protection defenses designed to make your phone useless to a thief even if you weren’t able to lock it in time (but which you need to enable from their default state of off), plus a Private Space feature to hide apps behind biometric security that resembles the one I mentioned in iOS 18.
There’s more there–see my PCMag writeup for a breakdown–but this, too, is not an OS update that I’d be able to recognize on your device if I glanced at it from across a table. Which is okay! Technology could stand to have a little less drama.
That said, there is one mobile OS update that I do want to see get fast and widespread uptake: Apple’s iOS 18, which finally brings support for RCS messaging to the iPhone. That feature has yielded an immediate upgrade to my text chats with friends on iPhones running iOS 18, in the obvious form of typing indicators and higher-resolution multimedia and in the less-obvious form of our conversations being encrypted in transit instead of being sent in the clear. Those friends seem to find their end of the banter improved as well.
So if you have an iPhone that can run iOS 18, please ignore everything I wrote before the previous paragraph and rush to install this update. Thank you.
10/20/2024: Updated with a reminder to activate the anti-theft features in Android 15.

Diese Woche wird #Android15 erscheinen, was laut @GrapheneOS zügig für unterstützte Geräte portiert werden soll. 👀 Besonders freue ich mich auf #PrivateSpace-Feature, mit dem sich Apps sich ohne Umstände in einen, von den normalen Profildaten und Apps getrennten Bereich installieren lassen: https://source.android.com/docs/security/features/private-space?hl=de
Dies dürfte Helferlein wie #Shelter und #Insular auf aktuellen Geräten überflüssig machen. -
WAILEA, Hawaii–I’m spending the next four days here in the middle of the Pacific, but not for fun. Instead, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit has called me here as it did in 2023, with Qualcomm once again covering airfare and lodging. I’ll be covering the event for PCMag, and a disclosure about that in all the copy that I file from here.
Patreon readers got a bonus post this week about the lengths to which I went to chisel away at the cost of a new Brother multi-function color laser printer, ultimately knocking $130 off the $369.99 list price of this model.
10/15/2024: Google Ships Android 15, Unwraps New Pixel Drop for Recent Devices, PCMag
Eight months after my first post for PCMag about Android 15, I wrote about its official release. I installed it on a Pixel 8a four days later and, as I wrote here Saturday evening, found it an initially unremarkable upgrade. To repeat a reminder I offered in that post: Don’t forget to activate the new anti-theft features in this update that are not enabled by default.
10/18/2024: X’s New Rules: Blocked Posts Will No Longer Be Hidden, Your Tweets Will Train Grok AI, PCMag
The upcoming terms of service allowing AI scraping, the first change I noticed, seemed like it might not be newsworthy since X has been doing that for months. But then I also spotted the weird “liquidated damages” provision and and another requiring that any lawsuits against the company be brought in courts in a different part of Texas–and I realized that my client had not yet covered how X has begun notifying its users that the block function is about to be downgraded to a mute tool.
10/18/2024: Bluesky Boom: X Alternative Sees Surge Of Signups, PCMag
Before PCMag had gotten around to publishing my “ToS” piece, I saw another post emerging in what looks like a serious flight of users from X to Bluesky. The growth in user numbers–the decentralized platform crossed the 12-million-account line Friday–isn’t nearly as impressive as the way Bluesky’s apps have skyrocketed up the charts in the Android and iOS app stores. As of Sunday evening, Bluesky’s iOS app is ranked 19th in free apps and fourth in social apps, while its Android client is fourth and third, respectively.
It’s been equally striking to see so many old friends from Twitter who had set up Bluesky accounts start using them–especially among avgeek circles, something that’s on my mind more than usual having spent so much of this month and this day on airplanes. I’m now waiting/hoping to see more people in Virginia and Arlington politics do likewise–and if the Harris-Walz campaign will start posting on Bluesky.

Lilbits: Another Linux laptop update, another Rockchip processor, another Pixel 9 leak
Google’s Pixel 9 series smartphones aren’t expected to launch until this fall, but details about the next-gen flagships started to leak earlier this year with a series of pictures that allegedly showed the Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro.
But according to a new report, those pictures actually showed the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL. […]https://liliputing.com/?p=167600

Your Galaxy phone will now automatically get locked if someone steals it

#Android11 #DualSIM "Calls preference": there are only 3 options to choose from: SIM 1, 2 or "ask every time".
I'd love to have "ask once per contract and remember my choice until I change it in the contact details".
Why is there no such option? I really need to choose every single time I call someone although the contact details do feature a preferred SIM per contract setting. 🤷♂️
