With the second beta of iOS 26.1, Apple updated the design of alarms set on the iPhone, making them harder to dismiss than before.
Stopping an alarm in iOS 26.1 beta 2 requires a new Slide to Stop gesture rather than a simple tap. You can continue to tap to snooze an alarm, but if you want to turn it off entirely, you need to use a swipe.
Transitioning from a tap to a slide gesture to...

Let me break it down for you since it seems difficult to understand, I was talking mainly about the junk keyboard, it is trash no matter the generation, I was also referring to the faulty screen, which is in fact a defect and it affected the machine I USE, why does it hurt you so much to accept it?
And yes, these machines do not perform the same as others even with a big chip in it, it will just get hot and underclocked as soon as you through serious design tasks, numerical simulations or heavy computing to it. For better performance I have to go to a PC that costs $890 less or to a Linux machine that costs $1000 less than the (already) reduce price they show here. And you can game on them...
You are the same kind of people that did not want a files system on the iPad or that accept the moniker "Pro" on anything. I guess all you do with your devices is consume media.
You don’t have the guts to admit you’re wrong, I get it perfectly. So it’s got a top-end CPU and top-end SSD, but you’re calling it a “mid-grade” laptop because previous year models had issues? Oh, and you can’t run “numerical simulations” all day without thermal throttling, ok. Just keep moving those goalposts. You might try a grammar checker too, wow.
Junk keyboard? Overpriced no matter what the sale price is.
Careful, someone may attack you for saying the truth.
There is people in this world that think Apple can do no wrong and would not take an ounce of criticism. There are many things they need to improve, fix and make better, and the more we point it out the better for the consumer.
