Smartphones have increasingly become the most popular way of accessing the web over the last 15 years. Now, the percentage of web traffic that comes from mobile devices has reached an all-time high of 64%, marking the eighth consecutive quarter of growth in this area.
Since 2015, the amount of web traffic to come from smartphones has more than doubled from 31.16% to 64%. There have been quarters during the decade when the figure fell, but there’s been a constant upward trajectory since the middle of 2023, with each new quarter bringing a record-breaking high.
The best part of Apple’s keynote yesterday, for me, was the introduction of iPadOS 26. Apple finally opened up the floodgates and gave iPad users everything they wanted. We have an actual multitasking window manager, new menu toolbars, better background tasks, and a revamped files app. All this has transformed how people will view iPads moving forward. But the fantastic thing is that this is not just reserved for the $1300+ iPad Pro; this now works on the $299 entry-level iPad. Apple just made the entry-level iPad the best value in computers. Let me explain.
iOS 26 can dynamically reserve space for automatic updates, according to Apple.
”Depending on the amount of free space available, iOS might dynamically reserve update space for Automatic Updates to download and install successfully,” says Apple’s release notes for the first iOS 26 developer beta.
After nearly 40 years, a Spaceballs sequel has been confirmed with several key stars from the 1987 original returning – find out more below.

Netflix has been gradually rolling out a new homepage redesign to users around the world (as shown in the photo above). It marks the first major shakeup to the streamer’s layout in 12 years.
The move is a bit of a gamble. Netflix’s classic user interface has been an extraordinary success, one that later-to-the-game rivals (such as Max, Peacock, Paramount+, Hulu and Disney+) have all tried to match — or even improve upon. While one can debate how successful those rival designs have been, Netflix has remained the industry frontrunner regarding subscribers (with more than 300 million subscribers worldwide).
Apple unveiled iOS 26 earlier this week alongside the first developer beta, but now it has released a revised build to beta testers for select iPhone models.
iOS 26 beta 1 gets updated build just days after release
In an unusual move for a major new OS version, Apple has shipped two beta versions in the very first week of release.
Except the newly released software is not technically developer beta 2, but rather a revised version of iOS 26 beta 1.
