Episode notes
Home App Gains Adaptive Temperature
- iOS 26 adds an adaptive temperature feature to the Home app that centralizes thermostat automations on your iPhone.
- The feature uses on-device intelligence to predict when you're coming home, save energy when away, and follow your sleep schedule.
Protect iPhone 17 Pro's Aluminum Finish
- Expect the iPhone 17 Pro's new aluminum finish to show visible scuffs and nicks more easily than titanium or glass surfaces.
- If you want to keep the phone looking pristine, buy a case to protect the aluminum chassis from visible wear.
Durability Tradeoffs Of Less Glass
- Apple reduced glass on iPhone 17 Pro and uses a ceramic shield for the MagSafe window to improve durability.
- The aluminum body trades less catastrophic glass breakage for more visible surface scuffs.
