    Microsoft Build 2026 is about to begin.

    It’s nearly time for Microsoft’s annual developer event. The Build keynote kicks off at 9:30AM PT / 12:30PM ET / 5:30PM UK. I’m expecting we’ll hear a lot about new Microsoft AI models, Windows dev improvements, and a little surprise or two.

    iOS 26.5.1 fixes charging issues on iPhone Air and iPhone 17 models.

    Apple’s new iOS update is exclusive to its latest handsets, to address “an issue for a small number of users that may prevent wired charging on iPhone Air and iPhone 17 models when the battery is nearly drained.” Don’t worry if you notice it lists a huge download size, iOS 26.5.1 is not actually that big of a download and it will take far longer to actually install it.
