A new iPhone setting will stop CarPlay from stealing your AirPods' audio

Apple has introduced a simple solution to the problem in iOS 26, as spotted by MacRumors, that should also work with any other pair of wireless headphones connected to your iPhone. Open your iPhone's Settings app and navigate to the General > AirPlay & Continuity section. In there you'll find a 'Keep Audio with Headphones' option you can turn on that keeps the audio playing through your wireless headphones even after your iPhone connects to devices like Bluetooth speakers or CarPlay-compatible stereos.

Windows 7 is surging and people are ditching their iPhones - if you believe these charts

My news feed was absolutely overwhelmed this week with headlines telling me that Windows 7's market share "skyrocketed" last month, as users just said no to Windows 11. Then I realized it's the first of the month and of course all those stories are appearing because Statcounter Global Stats just released its "market share" reports for the previous month. Tech reporters cannot resist charts like this one any more than Mr. Bigglesworth can say no to a bag of fresh catnip.

You can turn off iOS 26's obtrusive new screenshot previews

One of the many unpublicized changes introduced with the iOS 26 update released earlier this week is that screenshots now automatically open into a full-screen preview. The new approach provides immediate access to a handful of useful tools for editing a screenshot, but they now dominate your iPhone's screen when captured, instead of shrinking into an unobtrusive thumbnail. Thankfully, reverting to the old way iOS handled screenshots is easy, as spotted by 9To5Mac.

The tiny iOS 26 update that made a big difference for me

I'm waking up at the crack of dawn, after a shoddy night of sleep. My iPhone alarm and its ever-strong siren song blare as it shakes me from my slumber. At this point, I'll do anything to turn that wretched sound off as quickly as possible. The one thing that gets in my way? The iPhone's dismiss button for its alarm is too small. In my half-asleep state, I don't always hit and dismiss it the first time.
