We recapped device codenames in our prior article, and now we have a list of some of the most notable feature flags that were found in the software code.

We've rounded up what's new so far, and we'll add to our list with subsequent betas if we come across any other features.

Apple seeded the second iOS 26.2 Release Candidate to developers earlier this week, meaning the update will be released to the general public very soon.
Apple confirmed iOS 26.2 would be released in December, but it did not provide a specific date. We expect the update to be released by early next week.
iOS 26.2 includes a handful of new features and changes on the iPhone, such as a new...

Apple released the AirPods Max on December 15, 2020, meaning the over-ear headphones launched five years ago today. While the AirPods Max were updated with a USB-C port and new color options last year, followed by support for lossless audio and ultra-low latency audio this year, the headphones lack some of the features that have been introduced for newer generations of the regular AirPods and the ...
Meanwhile in the UK AirPods Pro 2 ('https://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-AirPods-generation-MagSafe-USB%E2%80%91C/dp/B0CHWZ9TZS/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=IZIA5Y31Q6DY&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.OrB4Iu2o04LcVut8faddxpE1pnu35LQ4u27kDgK_yBGuOpPew6R6ryjW7ZLa26Qpg_X5KgQGejDhiNEfHvwY0K6mtIURjU2DJr08sRcbItm14FiapWOUG0MfTxR2fwtoW8SdMRdqu7nEzNlRNJvsRoRZWai3yFyLisAivR3MacqZMLb-GVsGNecqha5WxznF5-tj5x3T5eZlA-iF8O-DI2mwVWoVkqcoJkIUkieYINw.8NorU9fMeE_H-E6CV9aA2g5bnSjB89MNw4S1W9f24N0&dib_tag=se&keywords=airpods+pro+2&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1736684851&sprefix=%2Caps%2C70&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1') are £229 or $279.95. The AirTags ('https://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-AirTag-Bluetooth-Item-Finder/dp/B0935JRJ59/ref=sr_1_3?crid=C1GJYRU6T75W&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.CgQWnuSfsl0Mhs0BtLt5TEqg63vGm23Tmplq27E1MztXdzF7-6YJR3-F0fNN8Njn2j_NDY5C1WwlnipnYA3HPQ32_YkACnXs7LqXpZda4Xqgo8jDlS4UTPJzohqKzvnfCRf6KE1xJR6JV6JOn2q3fKeq3m8LvQjnubUmQj84153L32T5ZhUdd1vqiiw7UGW7yu6jPdPhov7LMyl1OZVY1cr2ZERHxonj3RlpO4zgAx8.zBMsetgJX4dasaD1evEq57o98s_1AovCD3xPiuohkwg&dib_tag=se&keywords=airtags+4+pack&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1736685008&sprefix=AirTags+%2Caps%2C103&sr=8-3') are £94 or $114.91. Yes I realise that in America there is tax to add but I very much doubt that it’s going to be almost $100 on the AirPods and $50 on the AirTags. Apple and Amazon are ripping the UK off.
I live in Mexico and what I can tell you is that is pretty much the same thing here. Crazy and almost impossible prices due to taxes, logistics and import rates.
