Apple's 20th anniversary iPhone is already starting to sound like one of the company's most ambitious redesigns in years, at least based on the rumours currently making their way around the tech world. The latest claim suggests that Apple is testing solid-state buttons for the device, which could mark another step away from traditional moving parts on the iPhone.

Apple has rolled out iOS 26.4.2, and this isn't just another minor update you can casually ignore for weeks. It's one of those releases where hitting that "Update Now" button sooner rather than later actually makes a difference.

Apple pushed out iOS 26.4.1 as a quick follow-up release, mainly to deal with a serious iCloud syncing issue that had started causing headaches across both Apple apps and third-party apps. On paper, it looked like one of those smaller cleanup updates that quietly fixes a major bug and gets things back on track.

If you recently updated your iPhone and didn't notice anything dramatically different, you're not alone. When iOS 26.4 rolled out to Malaysian users, it looked like a fairly routine update on the surface. But tucked quietly inside is something much more meaningful — full support for 5G Standalone (5G SA) and even 5G Advanced on supported iPhones.

Apple has long positioned itself as a company that puts user experience first, especially compared with rivals whose businesses rely more heavily on advertising. That is one reason why the idea of ads appearing in Apple Maps feels like a notable shift. It is not exactly shocking from a business standpoint, but it does raise questions about where Apple wants to take its services next.
