Apple just released iOS 26.5 Beta 2… and while there aren’t a ton of new features, one change really stands out.
In this video, I break down everything new in iOS 26.5 Beta 2, including a new Apple Maps experience that could be the foundation for ads inside Maps. We also go over updates to Messages, notification forwarding, performance improvements, and what Apple is quietly setting up behind the scenes.
This is one of those updates where the small changes might actually matter the most.

Tim Cook fail of the day: For years I've tried to call Apple Support about issues… they know very little and always want to share my screen. Making these calls takes hours from my day and today, the operators know less than fifth graders. They admit to reading Apple Support Community articles while you wait on the phone. We can do this and we can do it at a college level… not a fifth grader level. I tried today once again to reach out to Apple Suppport Communities for an issue with Apple iPhone Messages app removing my pinned famliy members from the 9 pinned contacts at the top. People replied that something was wrong with my phone and the thread quickly got removed my Apple moderators. This is what Tim Cook has done to Apple. First he removed all reviews of Apple products on the Apple store online. Why? So we could not point out the wrongs with Apple products. Where Cook should have used these comments to improve products he saw them as an impedement to revenue. Then the YouTube Apple channel showed up with comments turned off. Same reason. If you try to post a question to Apple Support communities, the moderators shut it down if it points out anything negative with Apple programming. Tim Cook needs to be fired. He's broken more code than he's written in his tenure. He began by screwing up iOS with iOS 7.0, which broke the lock sreen photo code. Wide photos don't fit on the iPhone screen any more and it's been 13 years since he broke that with no hint of that being fixed. He broke the play/pause key on Apple wireless keyboards. No longer can we control iTunes with it… that key controls who knows what app in the background now. When UPS shows up at my front door six feet from my office desk, when I press pause on my Apple made wireless keyboard, some video begins playing in the background and then I have iTunes AND video audio blasting in my home. Tim Cook is THE MOST INCOMPETENT TECH CEO IN HISTORY, PERIOD. Fire him now and save Apple.
What is the widget he has on his home screen with the Pokémon pixel art?

I didn't test out this yet but I think I know it's not really added pictures it's pictures of the fast food restaurant And and it's cool that they name them ads because they are as but they're pictures The beta tester I can't wait to test this out And future related I can't wait to.
What’s that widget with the Nidoran?

🐬 Thanks for the update news, Fernando! ✌️
At this point every app turns into an ad platform eventually 😅
You need to look deeper into ads. I can already see photos when searching restaurants. They’re adding ads for local businesses captured by the employees that work at the Apple Store. Your journalism and accuracy should be on point?
🦈
Download a VPN, set to Albania, then no more ads.
