How to install the beta for developers of iOS 26, iPados 26 or Watchos 26

by

Let’s explain how install beta for developers of iOS 26which is the new version of the Apple operating system. In addition to the name, it comes with a new nomenclature, and the steps that we are going to also be worth for ipados and watchos 26. But before starting, you must remember an important thing. It is not recommended to install these betas for developers In the devices you use in your day to day, since they are versions of the operating system that are very green, incomplete, without rectifying and full of failures. In these first betas, iOS will work badly. The operating system It will be slow and unstableand you will find large amounts of failures and bugs. They are the first tests with the system, and from them it will begin to be polished during the next months to be ready for the official launch in September. Betas for developers are only for those programmers who want to test their applications and prepare them for the arrival of the final version of the operating system. It can also serve you on an iPhone that you do not need to work well to try the new functions when they are arriving, but it is advisable to wait for public betas. Another thing to keep in mind is that betas for programmers are complicated to install, while public will be much easier, since they are intended for normal users. You are betas They will begin to arrive in mid -Julyand new versions will be leaving every little time until the final version. Requirements for developer beta To install betas for developers in Apple operating systems, you will need have a developer profile. This means that you will need to have registered on the Apple developers portal, something you can do through the website of Developer.apple.com. After doing so, you can download your profile to install it. But of course, these profiles are for real developers. If you are not you will have to resort to a trap. There is Third Party pages that offer you developer profileswith what you can try these betas without being one. The most popular is betaprofiles.devand all you need to do is press the operating system from which you want to lower a profile, and you will download a false one. This method is always open to problems and errors, but it is a part or alternative. Install the beta of iOS, ipados or watchos To install the beta of the new operating system, you must first get your developer profile As we told you before. When you have it, let it in iOS, and open it from the app Archives As if it were any other file. In doing so, you will be asked if you want to install it on the iPhone or the Apple Watch, since to install the Watchos betas you will have to do it using the linked iPhone. When you have installed the profile on your device, go to Settings In that same mobile or tablet. In the adjustments, click on the option of Downloaded profile and choose the option Install That will appear. Thus you can complete an installation process that is quite easy, where they will start asking for the mobile security password to confirm that you are the owner. Once the profile is install, you will have the device ready for the beta. Now you must restart it, and when you do it, go to the adjustments, go to Generaland enter Software update. With this You will look for new versions of iOSand the beta for developers will appear as if it were a normal update. In this guide we have shown you the catches of an iPhone, but The steps are exactly the same in an Apple Watch or iPad. The only thing that changes is that the profile for the Apple Watch you will have to download it to the iPhone with which it is linked, but everything else is the same. In Xataka Basics | A design language to dominate them all: this is Liquid Glass, the new interface of iOS, macOS, ipados, tvos and watchos

Naples Airport has rejected a Boeing 787 with 200 passengers on board for a single reason: two meters long

by

Two meters. Not one more, not one less. Those have been the culprit that Naples airport had to reject a flight with origin in Philadelphia. Everything seemed to work without shocks on the morning of June 3. Until the passengers who had to land in Naples received the unpleasant surprise that they would land in Rome. The reason: the plane was too big for the airport. Six meters. That is the distance that differentiates a Boeing 787-8 from a Boeing 787-9. Both They are part of the Dreamliner family (which is also part of the Boeing 787-10) and are common on transatlantic flights since their autonomy widely exceeds 10,000 kilometers and have more than 200 places for passengers. The size in all cases is 60 meters but its length grows as the last name number increases. Thus, the Boeing 787-8 measures 57 meters long but the 787-9 already extends to 63 meters long. The 787-10 reaches 68 meters long. A small (big) difference. Those six meters long suppose a problem that is called 8 RFFS category airport (Rescue and Fire Fighting Services, for its acronym in English). This name refers to the aircraft that an airport can manage, according to the emergency and fire extinction services that it has at your disposal. In this case, the 8 RFFS category allows aircraft to be operated with a maximum size of 61 meters long. That is, it can handle the Boeing 787-8 but not the Boeing 787-9, which exceeds in two meters the dimensions established by the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). In order to manage the landing of a Boeing 787-9 it is necessary for the airport to have a 9 RFFS category where airplanes are allowed to land up to 76 meters long. Better to Rome. This scenario did not contemplate in American Airlines when they decided that, for operational reasons, a Boeing 787-9 had to operate the Philadelphia-Naples route that the airline keeps open. Usually, this journey is made by a Boeing 787-8 (smaller) since They open the route last summer. In fact, in the press release of the Naples airport it is specified that the plane used will be the smallest of the Dreamliner line. But, as we said, last week American Airlines decided to send Naples a Boeing 787-9. When the plane It was 70 miles of his destiny he had to turn around and deviate to Rome. The problem was evident, from Naples they reported that they could not host the flight because their category prevents it. The plane was too big. Specifically, the two meters that exceeds an airport with 8 RFFS category can operate it. By bus. They explain in Business Insider that passengers had to cover the distance between both airports by bus, on a trip that took them from two to three hours, or by plane, in Routes operated by Ita Airways. The company apologized and alleged the American media that “operational limitations” had occurred that had prevented the plane in southern Italy. In CBS They point out that 231 passengers and 11 crew members who received, for any response from the company “apologies for the interruption of the trip” were traveling on board the aircraft, in a statement rescued by the media.

In the new macOS 26 Tahoe there is change of interface, yes. But the surprise is to be able to write an email or throw a shortcut from Spotlight

by

More than 40 years of history They contemplate the Mac. It may not be the protagonist of the Apple ecosystem, but Macos always has a relevant study in the updates that the company announces every year. This time it has not been the exception, and this year we have a new version that not only changes its name (Tahoe), but also jumps rumored in numbering. Thus, the traditional sequence after MacOS 15 Sequoia It should have brought us Macos 16, but instead Apple has decided to adopt a version number that corresponds to the “year of launch+1”, which in this case is 26. In this new version of macOS A good face washing was expectedand that’s what we have with MacOS 26 Tahoe. The changes in the interface are the absolute focus, although the most striking novelty is the one that reaches Spotlight, the launcher/search engine integrated in macOS. The interface changes, although not radically. Liquid Glass raises an interface in which for example the taskbar is transparent and that is customizable, such as the control center. The latter can be configured to our liking, adding a lot of direct icons and accesses, even that they can correspond to iPad apps. These customization improvements also reach the folders, in which we can change the color or add a small badge to differentiate them from the rest. The new version of continuity allows us that for example we can have a “twin” of our iPhone on the screen to be able to do things like enjoying calls directly on the MAC screen and also doing it using options such as the Real -time translation. However, where the most curious improvements arrive in Shortcuts and in Spotlight. In Shortcuts, a powerful Automatizon tool, now we can create more powerful shortcuts thanks to the so -called “smart actions”, which take advantage of Apple Intelligence’s functions. But It is in Spotlight where things change especially. We are facing that Apple states that it is the most important update in the history of this component. This pitcher allows you to search for files or launch applications – even those of the iPhone that we have matched with continuity – starting to write its name in the text field. But it is also that we now have a way to access very striking functions without leaving Spotlight using small keyboard shortcuts. Thus, if for example we write “SM” (Send Message) we can start the writing of an email message without opening the mail application. There are several of these personalized commands that make Spotlight into A kind of custom “terminal” In itself from which to execute commands, launch applications and even access the history of the clipboard. The last great novelty of Macos 26 Tahoe comes from the hand of video games. Apple, who has never paid too much attention to this area in the Mac, now offers a control center called Apple Games that reminds us of the Xbox application in Windows. As in that case, in Apple Games We have a form from which to access our library and from which to launch the games that we have bought or buy new. There is a new Game Overlay that allows us to chat with friends, invite them to play or adjust our configuration to play. The developers and users will also benefit metal 4, the new rendering technology specifically designed for the Apple chips GPUs and that allows games that take advantage of it improve its visual quality remarkably, promise in the company.

Why your iPhone is going to go directly from iOS 18 to iOS 26, and why it makes all the way

by

Apple has just taught us the next software news that will arrive at the iPhone in September. The next version of iOS comes with a redesign to which Liquid Glass have baptized (And to which they have dedicated a good time from the presentation), but without a doubt the most striking change of this year is that the next version It will not be called iOS 19but iOS 26. We tell you the reason behind this decision and no, Apple has not been the first to do so. Jump from iOS 18 to iOS 26 makes sense Since the launch of the first iPhone in 2007, Apple has increased the numbering of one by one: iOS, iOS 2, iOS 3, iOS 4 … until you reach the current iOS 18. One more year, one more version, it makes sense. So, Why jump eight numbers suddenly? Apple wants to unify all its product ranges. All new software versions will be number 26. The problem of this logic is that they have done the same with the rest of their product lines, regardless of when they have been launched. Thus, the current versions of the Apple ecosystem are as follows: iOS 18, Ipados 18, Macos 15, Watchos 11 and Visionos 2. Come on, a mess. Apple’s intention is to unify all its product ranges, that is, that all new software versions will carry number 26. And why the 26? For the year (yes, iOS 26 will arrive in September 25, but in practice “you will live” more time in 2026). Samsung Did It First It is not the first time that we see a change like that of iOS 26. Samsung already did when in 2020 They made the jump of Samsung Galaxy S10 to the Samsung Galaxy S20. Since then the number has been increasing year after year, so in 2026 we will have the Galaxy S26. Apple’s change can make all the meaning -it is easier to communicate, it is better understood and allows us to locate immediately the year in which each version was presented. But it is also true that they arrive a little late and that starting this unification with the 26 makes it A very high and less manageable starting figure. There is also the detail that Each operating system is still called in a different way. Other brands in the sector have also unified nomenclature (Samsung did it with One UI, Xiaomi with Hyperos or Huawei with Harmonyos), although it does not seem that Apple will follow that path, at least not for the moment.

It is a very limited smart watch in sports

by

Apple has just announced Watchos 26 in the WWDC with the usual enthusiasm, but with another substance. Liquid Glass is a promising redesignalthough it seems that it looks better on large screens than in small. We will see. Workout Buddy is a virtual coach who drinks Apple Intelligence to comment on your workouts, but apparently in the demo they used for the event, It seems rather an animator with a fitness coach voice+ that proclaims very basic ideas. The improvements in the smart pile are well thrown, but they still do not forget that we are facing a very small screen. They are, in any case, iterations, no innovations. The result is an operating system for a clock that gives symptoms of having touched the roof. The key is what they have not announced: No new sports metric. No advanced training analysis. No training predictions. Apple positions Watch as a clock oriented in health and sports, but, without removing merits in its preventive work that We know that saves lives, It seems rather a smart watch with accessory sports functions. Garmin, choirs, Suunto And company are going much further, and not only for the elite, but also for those who are thriving in sport. They are the ones who revolutionize the understanding of athletic performance, the compression of tons of scientific literature in our wrist. Meanwhile, Apple continues to reinvent the way you see notifications from the wrist. Or in adding wallpapers to the messages. It is the difference between building a training computer and decorating a miniature smartphone. Image: Apple. The ‘Workout Buddy’ is the most revealing. A system that congratulates you for closing rings and reminds you how many kilometers you have this week. It is superficial motivation. Adequate for those who see sport as a hobby Light weekend, frivolous for those who intend something else. Garmin tells you if your cadence is suboptimal and integrates a metronome with which you can correct it. Apple tells you “Well done!” With a synthetic voice. The distance between both approaches is the same between a coach and an animator. And the worrying thing is that it is a stagnation that seems more deliberate than accidental. Apple has chosen his audience: Users casual that value integration with the ecosystem above the real improvement of performance, beyond get out of sedentary lifestyle. It is phenomenal to go for this audience, but staying there has tolls. They have decided that it is better to be the best smart watch with initiatory sports vocation than to compete for really a great sports clock. It is an understandable business strategy, but also the tacit admission that they prefer to dominate the basics rather than compete in the advanced.

This is Liquid Glass, the new interface of iOS, Macos, Ipados and Watchos

by

Great changes were expected to the Interface of Apple’s operating systems, and we already have them with us. Liquid Glass arrivesa new design language that makes use of translucent elements throughout the interface. Alan Dye, head of human interface in Apple, presented this “inspired” vision “redesign. This “expressive material” precisely adopts the appearance of a layer of liquid crystal that applies to drop -down menus, buttons and other visual elements. There is a unique effect also on all these visual elements: They are translucentbut they act as a unique lens that shows what is underneath as if those elements were actually made of that material. Transparencies are very realistic thanks to the effects that mimic this glass effect. In the iPhone wallpaper, for example, the time digits show the background color slightly modified by the effect of “liquid crystal” itself. This new interface adapts without problems in the dark mode if necessary, although Apple showed above all clear mode in all captures and demonstration animations. That interface promises to be especially clean, although a priori does not seem especially radical: we have a desk that seems more polished and with more “air” than its predecessor. There is something especially important: those visual elements are universal throughout the Apple ecosystem. The Liquid Glass design language reaches iOS, macOS, iPados or Watchos equally. All of them take another leap: Theoretically this year Macos 16 or iOS 19 were going to arrive, but instead we will have macos 26 or iOS 26. In development …

Apple has not washed the iPhone’s face. Has subjected it to cosmetic surgery

by

Forget iOS 19 and stay with this name: iOS 26. This is the beginning of a new stage. The protagonist operating system of the WWDC 2025 that Apple is celebrating in Cupertino is that of the iPhone, and drinks directly from an interface we already knew: The Vision Pro. Apple’s most niche device is the one that will mark the way for the rest of the products. Some that, in this new stage, will have a name and A unified design language. Why iOS 26. The logical jump after iOS 18 It was iOS 19, that’s over. Apple will begin to rename its software platforms by adding a +1 a year in which they are launched. We are in the year (20) 25, adding that one we already have the 26. It is the name that the rest of their brothers will receive: Visionos 26, Watchos 26, Tvos 26 and Ipados 26. Next year, we will have versions 27 above the table. A name change that meets a concrete need of Apple: to try to make its operating systems to the fullest. Liquid Glass. The first novelty of iOS 26 has to do with its change at aesthetic level. Apple has been inspired by visionos to share its design language with the rest of the software platforms. And he has decided to call him Liquid Glass. The translation is simple: a system starring transparencies, rounded icons and even softer animations. The changes range from the application pitcher to the apps themselves, a work that the developers will have to begin to adapt to maintain coherence with the renewed system. News at Apple Intelligence. Apple wanted to start (in a very short way) its Keynote with news in its artificial intelligence functions. A good part of them, not yet available in Europe. Among them, The new Siri. One of the big changes is how applications will interact with Apple Intelligence. Developers can configure their apps to directly access Apple Intelligence, privately and even without connection. Image | Apple

The rent has risen so much in Galicia that its beaches have problems hiring something fundamental: lifeguards

by

The tourism industry has faced for a long time A worrying dilemma In Spain (as in other countries): as its main destinations grow and gain attractive, The price goes up of the accommodation, which makes things more and more difficult for workers who support the sector. We have seen it In Tenerifewhere there are hoteliers who are forced to Sleep in caravans For the high cost of rentals. And we see it now In Galiciawhere housing is affecting an even more sensitive group: lifeguards. Although in the official registry of the community there are registered Thousands of lifeguards Prepared to monitor the beaches, some locations are costing to sign them. And one of the reasons is the high price of rentals on the coast. Costs. The news He has revealed it The Galician mail: Although the official registration of the Xunta has more than 4,500 inscribed lifeguards, a record that exceeds 13% to those accounted for in 2024, there are areas of Galicia in which it is not easy to “sign” professionals. It is not a general something. In fact there are municipalities that have covered their vacancies well. But there are certain points in the region in which not even this abundance assures them to find vigilantes. And what is the reason? There are several factors at stake. Input, how the population is distributed. Not all municipalities have the same bag of inhabitants and, therefore, of neighbors with the lifeguard title willing to cover sand sands that remain close to their homes. Another key is working conditions. The salaries are around 1,200 euros per month, according to Precise The Galician mailand they are hired for very short periods, from two to three months. These circumstances lead to professionals who choose to move to other more southern or warm destinations, such as the Canary Islands or Andalusia, in which they can opt for six -month jobs or for full years. To solve it there are those who even has raised The possibility of betting on “a permanent body” of lifeguards who cover the heat months, more extensive. Another handicap that affects the sector is the bureaucracy: the longer the aid takes, the greater the risk that the lifeguards have sought alternatives. Housing slopes. The above are, together with the regulatory issues of the sector, the factors that have marked the guild in Galicia in recent years and explain that the region has suffered shortage of lifeguards. Now one more factor comes into play. The mail assures that this summer the consistors are proving easier to sign vigilants, but where the reason has been found with difficulties is another: the housing price, In full climb. The general price increase in Galicia as a whole, 7.1% in the last year According to idealistadded to the high seasonal demand of coastal destinations during the summer months, Galician lifeguards who have to leave their locality and rent a floor. In practice that hinders hiring in localities that have to ‘import’ lifeguards out. Is the house so expensive? A few days ago Technitas published A report in which he points out that an 85 m2 apartment on Riazor beach (A Coruña) reaches € 1,400 per week, one hundred more than last year. In Vicedo (Lugo) a 65 m2 floor costs 650 euros, one hundred more than a year ago, and in O Grove (Pontevedra) a 75 m2 house requires a disbursement of 950 euros per week. The report speaks of vacation leases, but that scenario fully affects seasonal professionals who, like lifeguards, seek accommodation for a few months. Beyond Galicia. It is not a problem that affects only Galicia. Recently Antena3 He spoke With José Luis, a lifeguard who has been in Ibiza for 25 years and who has not left any choice but to buy a caravan to have a place to live. Renting an apartment is discarded, he explains, because it costs more than he earns with his watchman work. Even the caravan option begins to complicate. “Being in a campsite costs me about 1,800 euros per month.” “This is something that happens throughout Spain and the most affected places are the ones with the greatest tourist influx, such as Balearic Islands, Valencian Community and some areas of Andalusia and Catalonia,” Confirm to The mail José Palacios, coordinator of the Research Group in Aquatic Activities and Saporrism and President of DEAC, the entity responsible for granting the blue flags to the sand. Healing in health. To make sure they will have lifeguards there are consistories that directly choose to form them. This is the case of Ribeira, in the Barbanza region, which in 2024 and 2025 He has conducted courses Own who have allowed him to prepare the young people who will be in charge of controlling the sands of the region. Another strategy to prevent them from opting for less seasonal destinations is to expand their work period: instead of hiring them in July, they are incorporated into their positions in June, when many beaches of Galicia begin to fill.

Argentina: 2:00 pm. What do we hope to see WWDC is an event focused mainly on software. Some changes that will arrive first in the beta phase and, before the end of the year, to a good part of the Apple ecosystem devices. Except Unexpected delays or problems, Like the new Siri. This wwdc will be that of “Solarium”one of the biggest changes we have ever seen in the Apple systems interface. According to rumors, transparency will be the protagonist, and that Vision Pro will mark the path of the iPhone, the MAC and the iPad. And to unify these platforms and end the messes in the name, the key will be to bet on the year of launch + 1. From there iOS 26, macOS 26 and ipados 26. News are also expected in TVOS 26, Watchos 26, Visionos 26 and Some changes in native applications. This WWDC is a complex for Apple. It is your time to demonstrate at what point the company is at the software level, its credibility after promising a revolution with AIand the maturation point they have reached after suffer potholes in recent months. There are many questions to answer, and here we will be to tell you one by one.
