Your iPhone Is About to Get a Simple Yet Convenient New Feature
Apple didn't mention this feature at WWDC, but it's been uncovered by early adopters testing the iOS 26 developer beta. When you try to log in to public Wi-Fi for the first time, be it at a hotel, airport or a coffee shop, you're often prompted to accept its terms and conditions or fill out a quick form to authenticate yourself. It's a necessary annoyance. Well, when Apple rolls out iOS 26 in approximately two months, it's going to give your iPhone a simple new trick that promises to make this login process a little bit easier … specifically if you have multiple Apple devices. As first spotted by Creative Strategies analyst Max Weinbach (and then reported by MacRumors), iOS 26 will allow you to quickly sync sign-in details for captive Wi-Fi networks across your iPhone and iPad. This means that when you log in to any captive Wi-Fi network — which is a public Wi-Fi that requires filling out a web form to be granted access — on your iPhone, you'll be able to share those details with another Apple device, like an iPad, without having to fill out that web form again. Basically, it aims to streamline the Wi-Fi log-in process across your various Apple devices. Apple didn't mention this feature when it unveiled the next-generation operating systems at WWDC, but it has been discovered by those with devices running the developer beta on iPhone and iPad. And even though it hasn't been reported yet, MacRumors suggests that this login feature is likely to come with macOS 26, too. Given that it's more common for people to travel with an iPhone and MacBook (rather than an iPad) as their secondary device, this will make the feature even more useful. iOS 26 will roll out to compatible iPhones this fall, likely in early September, after Apple announces the iPhone 17 lineup.

iOS 26 has an awesome Wi-Fi upgrade for your iPhone
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. We're rapidly approaching the release of iOS 26. Apple has been hard at work, and we've been eagerly anticipating all of the new features it's set to bring to the table. A small but mighty feature coming to iOS 26 is that the sign-in details for captive Wi-Fi networks are now synced across iPhones and iPads running iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. If you've dealt with the annoyance of captive Wi-Fi networks, you know how tedious it can be to get every device up and running, and this feature will make it easier. Creative Strategies analyst Max Weinbach found the feature and posted about it on X while staying at a hotel. His iPhone asked him if he wanted to fill in his Wi-Fi details from his iPad, which was already connected to the hotel's network. If you're a traveler or simply someone who enjoys public Wi-Fi (with one of the best VPNs of course), this feature will enable you to log in to all your devices much more quickly. This isn't the first time we've seen this feature mentioned. Bloomberg reported that Apple was working on it, but when Apple didn't mention the feature during its WWDC presentation, we were less sure it was coming. We heard Apple is working on several other features in iOS 26 that weren't announced too, so this feature not being there isn't shocking. As for when you can get your hands on iOS 26 (if you're not interested in testing the beta), we expect it to be released in September, as that's typically when Apple puts out its major updates (though the company is changing things up this time with its naming convention). Apple's iOS 26 is expected to bring tons of new upgrades. For instance, we tried Apple's upgraded CarPlay in iOS 16 and were quite impressed with its new look and features. Should you upgrade your iPhone because of iOS 26? iOS 26 developer beta 2 is out — here's what's new I tried the new CarPlay with the iOS 26 beta — and Apple just solved my biggest issue with infotainment interfaces

Some doubt that Trump could pull off the promised T1 Phone, but his network might be profitable real soon
– Francisco Jeronimo, vice president at International Data Corp. for CNBC, June 2025 Receive the latest Android news Subscribe By subscribing you agree to our terms and conditions and privacy policy And the answer is... Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G! Same device as the T-Mobile REVVL 7 Pro 5G, custom body. Wingtech, now owned by Luxshare, makes it in Jiaxing, Wuxi, or Kunming China — Max Weinbach (@MaxWinebach) June 16, 2025 Further complicating matters, observers have noted that the T1 bears a strong physical and technical resemblance to the REVVL 7 Pro, a Chinese-made phone currently selling for under $180. This similarity has fueled speculation that the T1 may in fact be a rebranded device produced by an original design manufacturer (ODM) in China – a common industry practice, but one that would contradict Trump Mobile's claims of domestic design and assembly. Not just contradict, but turn the whole operation into a petty farce. Waging severe economic measures against China and then selling a rebranded Chinese phone is one thing, but claiming that same phone is 100% US-made is the kind of joke that will not play out well. The President's Trump Mobile service, on the other hand, might turn out to be profitable sooner than later, according to experts. Trump Mobile's $47.45/mo. plan is priced higher than many of its competitors, yet it could still become profitable relatively quickly if it keeps operating costs low. According to analyst Roger Entner, the service might break even with just 200,000 to 300,000 subscribers – an achievable target if the company avoids major expenses like retail stores and sticks to online sales. Despite its higher price point, Trump Mobile enters a crowded field where budget-friendly options are already well established. Charter offers mobile service at $30 per month, Comcast at $40, and Altice USA at $25 for the first year, increasing to $35 afterward. Other low-cost rivals include Visible by While Trump Mobile may not attract customers based on price or features, it could carve out a niche among brand-loyal consumers. Analysts expect its market impact to be limited, but profitability may still be within reach if it maintains a lean, low-overhead model.

If President Trump can't deliver on his pre-election campaign promises, he'll probably (at least) keep his promise about the Trump T1 Phone and the Trump Mobile service. Right?Many doubt that Mr. Trump will be able to make this one $499 phone, featuring a 6.8-inch screen, 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage, a headphone jack and a MicroSD card slot (hey, that's not bad at all!), was recently announced to go on sale this September. There are claims the phone will be produced in states like Alabama, California, and Florida. However, industry analysts are deeply skeptical – not just about the timeline (indeed it seems extremely short), but about whether domestic production is even point out that the US no longer has the kind of vertically integrated supply chain required to build a smartphone from the ground up. Everything from displays and chips to basic components like crystals and sensors are typically sourced from countries like China, Taiwan, and South Korea. As a result, producing a fully American-made phone would require an extensive and expensive overhaul of the existing hardware ecosystem.
