My annual iOS and iPadOS reviews are a labor of passion, curiosity, and – to an extent – sheer endurance. I do them because I still love everything about the process. The review wouldn’t have been possible without the support from the following people people and dogs:
- My girlfriend Silvia, for her wisdom, unending support, love, suggestions, and patience. This review wouldn’t be possible without you. I love you.
- Zelda and Ginger, my two dogs and the love of my life. Thank you for making me happier every day.
- John Voorhees, a friend and tireless business partner. Running MacStories with you is more fun and interesting every day.
- Devon Dundee, for his outstanding editing skills and suggestions.
- Basic Apple Guy, for his work on the iOS 26 icon comparisons and wallpapers used in this review.
- Widgetsmith, the sponsor of this review and one of the all-time great iOS apps.
- The entire MacStories team, for putting up with me while I finish this project every summer.
- Noah Herman, for taking the time to capture photos of an original iPhone.

- Notion, Drafts, Shareshot, Shortcuts, Pixelmator Pro, Readwise Reader, SnapMotion, Claude, Perplexity, Lire, Working Copy, HandBrake, and Superhuman – the tools behind the making of this review.

- Every engineer at Apple who always makes reviewing iOS and iPadOS each summer fun.

And finally, every MacStories reader, for allowing me to do what I love every single day. Thank you.
