 The iOS 26.4 update that Apple plans to release as soon as next week includes improvements for the built-in iOS keyboard. In its notes for the software, Apple says iOS 26.4 offers "improved keyboard accuracy when typing quickly."
An earlier version of this article mentioned a viral video that highlighted an issue where a letter would be replaced with another when typing, but it turns out the user was using QuickPath and did not have autocorrect enabled. The video features QuickPath's intended behavior, and does not serve as an example of the issue that was fixed, but some of the comments on the video likely related to the issue that Apple did address with the iOS 26.4 update.Related Roundups: iOS 26,

It's hard for most people to justify spending $3,299 on a monitor, but creative pros will gladly do so if it makes their jobs easier. Apple's 27-inch 5K Studio Display XDR is aimed straight at those folks and it costs considerably less than the company's previous high-end monitor, the 6K Pro Display XDR.
Thanks to the Mini LED IPS panel, the Studio Display XDR has higher brightness and color accuracy than nearly any other monitor on the market. It also has tech that boosts contrast to outperform similar displays. With its unique combination of features, the Studio Display XDR isn't as overpriced as you might think, and it has high appeal for me as a video editor. I do, however, wish it was bigger.
Design and features
If you're familiar with Apple's previous Studio Display, you'll have a good idea of the Studio Display XDR's design. The body has a high-quality brushed aluminum finish, with small holes across the top and bottom designed to vent heat from the built-in, nearly silent fan.
It has enough internal hardware to be a standalone computer, as it's equipped with an A19 Pro processor and 12GB (!) of RAM — more than Apple's new MacBook Neo laptop. That extra horsepower is required for all of the image processing, dimming algorithms, webcam operation and HDR tone-mapping.
