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...

The Beats Fit Pro is actually a very underrated set of earbuds. If you don't need the cachet of the AirPods Pro, they're a great deal.
Yup. I absolutely love my BFP. Although I may quibble that they're "underrated" because they are pretty widely praised by their users. But I totally get what you're saying.
Also, anyone looking for this on Amazon Canada be careful - the discounts for the various Beats products all appear to be "buy used" and not new.
If Dre and Jimmy aren’t involved anymore what’s even the point of Beats still being a thing? I haven’t seen any in the wild in a long time. At one point they were everywhere. It’s another brand that Apple bought and made boring. The colors are bland. The product cycles are dragged out. Perfect opportunity to make some really cool headphones aimed at basement producers and people that love specific music. Instead they just are milking the brand until it’s dead and they have converted everyone to AirPods. Such a waste of a brand that had bigger potential. Why go to the trouble of keeping it around only to let it stagnate? It’s really a shame.
