I think I’ve asked this before but not sure I ever found an answer.

I’m still on #iOS26.1 because I came across some offhand comment that the defunct #Transmit app from @panic that I still use often had finally stopped working.

Always have meant to try confirming and get my phone updated but I’ve procrastinated.

Is anyone still using Transmit and also on iOS 26.4?

Now I'm sharing all my secrets with Android!

iOS 26.5 adds default end-to-end encryption for RCS messages between Apple and Android, now in beta with supported carriers and a lock icon in chats 🔐
The update follows GSMA changes, improving cross-platform privacy but remaining tied to proprietary apps and carrier support, limiting user control and transparency 📱

🚩 #Apple #iOS26 #TechNews #Update

Just setup new (data-only) #eSIM from #Airalo for myself & spouse, that should be all set for Japan... I must admit this was much more slick on #iOS26 than on #iOS18. I'm still not upgrading mine - fingers crossed this will be easy with #SailfishOS by next year as all being well I'll have switched to the new #Jolla phone by then 🤞

I tried Android phones for more than a year, now I’m moving back to iOS!

Background

Last year I decided to move to Android side for various purposes, to experience how Android side of things have developed while I was on the Apple ecosystem for more than 5 years. Initially I went with One Plus 13 and used it for about 9 months. Then I exchanged it for Samsung S24 Ultra and used it for around 6 months more before I finally decided to settle back to iOS.

The Android experience

What I Liked

• Hardware
  • Both OnePlus 13 and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra had excellent hardware.
  • OnePlus felt lighter and more comfortable with the leather back and curves.
  • Samsung’s flat, squared display just looked and felt premium.
• Performance
  • Absolute performance beasts.
  • Multitasking, split-screen, PiP all worked flawlessly without hiccups.
• Charging & Battery
  • Charging speeds are great on both.
  • OnePlus SuperVOOC was insanely fast and actually useful in daily life.
• Useful Extras
  • IR blaster on OnePlus was surprisingly handy for controlling TVs and ACs.
  • S-Pen on S24 Ultra was genuinely useful for quick notes, calculations, and even as a camera shutter.
• Launcher Flexibility
  • Niagara Launcher felt weird on OnePlus but worked really well on Samsung.

What Didn’t Work for Me

• Accessories Ecosystem
  • OnePlus had poor third-party accessory(cases and screenguards) support.
  • Samsung was better, but still not great in terms of quality and consistency.
  • No native Magsafe! S-pen won’t work with magsafe if you got the case for it.
• Fingerprint Scanner + Screen Guards
  • This was honestly a mess.
  • Many screen guards don’t work properly with the in-display fingerprint scanner.
  • You end up doing hacks like registering the same finger multiple times.
  • Even then, reliability is hit or miss.
  • Face unlock sometimes interferes when you are scanning your finger and it leads you to lockscreen edit screen instead of going to the Homescreen.
  • Older rear fingerprint scanners were simply more reliable, like from the early Pixel phones.
• Software Updates
  • Samsung promises long-term support, but updates often felt delayed.
  • OneUI 8.5 is still in beta since maybe forever. And will be available to the latest gen flagship first, then you have to wait for the older flagships to get it.
  • Even monthly security patches were often a month late.
  • No excitement around updates compared to iOS.
• App Experience
  • iOS still gets better treatment from developers.
  • Apps arrive earlier and feel more polished.
• Automation & Customization
  • iOS Shortcuts is still miles ahead.
  • Samsung Routines is decent, but not at that level.
  • OnePlus doesn’t offer much here.
  • Android customization relies heavily on third-party tools, which I personally don’t enjoy using.
• Lockscreen Experience
  • iOS offers cleaner, more useful lockscreen customization out of the box.
  • Android needs effort (or third-party apps) to get close.
• Camera Gimmicks
  • The 100x zoom sounds cool but is mostly useless.
  • I never really used those shots for anything meaningful.

How did my week with iOS go?

I went with the popular iPhone 17. It finally has the 120Hz refresh rate screen with AOD, most of the ‘pro’ features. I think the LiDAR, ProRAW and extra zoom are the only thing that I feel could be useful to me going forward, but I’m sure I won’t mind missing those. The standard phone actually feels complete now. 

• I am loving the magsafe wallet and stand.
• Camera apps, native and 3rd party, capture amazing photos.
• The Shortcuts app! How I use my shortcuts and automations deserves another post. But I love exploring these.
• I have customised the control center as per my preference.
• I haven’t finalised my homescreen setup yet as I am not sure what I should put there. Everything is just a quick search away(the way I like).
• I love the built-in background noises feature. No need of additional app.
• The cases and screenguard – I don’t even have to overthink about this anymore. FaceID works flawlessly most of the time.
• I don’t mind the Liquid Glass much. Still getting used to the new phone app. 
• What I don’t like is that if I tap on an item from a list, there’s a halo-ish effect? instead of showing I selected a row. I don’t know if I tapped the correct row item.

What I miss coming from Andriod?

3 things – 

• Split screen or PiP mode for better multitasking. Useful in calculations etc.
• App cloning. Using same app with different accounts.
• Secure folder is actually secure. It is hidden quite well, both in OxygenOS and OneUI, locked with a different password than your phone’s passcode. On iOS, that’s not the case. Hidden folder is well visible to everyone with your phone’s password and that doesn’t inspire much confidence.

Going forward

While it felt like an adventure giving Android phones a go, I think I’ll stick with iOS as wife also has one, a few of my close friends have it as well and I like the excitement of getting the software update when everyone gets it, and that it has a much wider accessory support. This post is not about Android vs iOS or which one is objectively better. We are way past that debate. Both are amazing. It’s up to the individual which OS fulfils their purpose. Which one are you sticking with? And are you planning to switch anytime soon?

Have I mentioned my next phone will be the #Jolla with #SailfishOS? One more reason not to suffer through all the Apple #iOS26 #LiquidGlass user interface changes 😉

Having first checked #Dropbox had all my photos 🤞 I turned on #iCloud photo sync which was an overnight job & offloaded a few big apps (like the Japanese dictionary), and could update to iOS 18.7.8 for the security fixes. Have turned iCloud syncing of the photos off again (accepting have less on the phone now), will resume Dropbox as primary backup. It would be nice if they co-existed better.

Meanwhile #iOS26 #LiquidGlass can get stuffed

Apple lanza iOS 26.4.2 para cerrar la brecha que permitía al FBI espiar notificaciones push

En una respuesta urgente a preocupaciones de privacidad, Apple ha publicado una actualización de seguridad crítica para corregir una vulnerabilidad que, según informes, estaba siendo aprovechada por agencias gubernamentales para rastrear usuarios a través de sus notificaciones.

La privacidad de los usuarios de iPhone ha vuelto al centro del debate tras el lanzamiento de iOS 26.4.2. Esta actualización de emergencia llega después de que una investigación revelara que el FBI y otras agencias de inteligencia estaban utilizando una brecha en el sistema de notificaciones push para vigilar a personas de interés. La vulnerabilidad permitía a los atacantes con acceso a nivel de red interceptar los metadatos de las notificaciones enviadas a través de los servidores de Apple, vinculando aplicaciones específicas y tiempos de uso con identidades de usuarios reales, incluso sin tener acceso directo al contenido cifrado de los mensajes.

El uso por parte del FBI de esta vulnerabilidad en las notificaciones de iOS fue reportado inicialmente por 404 Media, que descubrió que la agencia utilizó una herramienta para acceder a los datos de notificación de Signal almacenados localmente en un iPhone, incluso después de haber sido eliminados. La directora ejecutiva de Signal, Meredith Whitaker, reconoció posteriormente el problema en Bluesky, escribiendo que «las notificaciones de mensajes eliminados no deberían permanecer en ninguna base de datos de notificaciones del sistema operativo, y le hemos pedido a Apple que solucione esto». En ese momento, Whitaker recomendó a los usuarios de Signal que ajustaran su configuración para que las notificaciones push de la aplicación no incluyeran el nombre del mensajero ni el contenido del mensaje. En respuesta a las noticias de hoy, Signal declaró en Bluesky que está «muy contenta de que Apple haya publicado hoy un parche y un aviso de seguridad».

El fallo residía en cómo los tokens de notificación se gestionaban en segundo plano, permitiendo que las solicitudes de las agencias de seguridad a los proveedores de servicios revelaran un «rastro digital» del usuario. Con esta nueva versión, Apple ha implementado un cifrado de extremo a extremo reforzado para los metadatos de las notificaciones y ha cambiado la forma en que los dispositivos se comunican con el Servicio de Notificaciones Push de Apple (APNs). Según el equipo de seguridad de Cupertino, esta medida hace que sea técnicamente imposible para la compañía —y por ende para cualquier entidad gubernamental que presente una orden judicial— proporcionar datos que puedan identificar el origen o destino de las alertas.

Este movimiento de Apple refuerza su postura de confrontación con las autoridades en materia de vigilancia digital, priorizando la seguridad del consumidor. La compañía ha instado a todos los usuarios de iPhone y iPad a actualizar sus dispositivos de inmediato, ya que el parche también soluciona otras vulnerabilidades menores que podrían ser explotadas para la ejecución de código remoto. Con la llegada de John Ternus al mando, Apple parece decidida a mantener la privacidad como su estandarte principal, incluso si esto implica mayores tensiones con las agencias federales de investigación.

iOS 26.5 ya está en beta 3.

Lo nuevo hasta ahora:
- Cifrado de extremo a extremo para RCS en Mensajes
- Preparativos para anuncios en Apple Maps (EE.UU. y Canadá)
- Soporte ampliado para dispositivos de terceros en la UE
