Hidden 120Hz Scroll Boost in Safari on ProMotion Devices

Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Macs with ProMotion can render pages at up to 120Hz by enabling a hidden Feature Flags option. On iPhone/iPad, go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Feature Flags and turn off 'Prefer Page Rendering Updates near 60fps', then restart Safari; on Mac, enable Show features for web developers in Settings > Advanced, open the Feature Flags tab, search '60fps', and uncheck the 'Prefer Page Rendering Updates near 60fps' option, then restart. Supported devices include ProMotion iPhones (e.g., 13 Pro and later), iPad Pro models, and Macs with ProMotion; higher refresh can affect battery life.

iOS 26 uptake isn’t a Liquid Glass boycott — it’s a data accuracy issue

iOS 26 uptake isn’t a Liquid Glass boycott — it’s a data accuracy issue

iOS 26 adoption appears slower than iOS 18, but the story isn’t a mass boycott over Liquid Glass. Analytics miscount iOS 26 devices because Apple’s Safari user-agent now reports as iOS 18, skewing Statcounter data. Condé Nast traffic shows about 45% of iPhone pageviews on iOS 26 in Dec 2025, versus 76% for iOS 18 in Dec 2024, indicating slower uptake but not a collapse. Apple is providing better OS-version identification in traffic and added Liquid Glass controls (tinted mode, opacity) to ease the transition. Security updates remain for devices that can’t upgrade, and upgrading to iOS 26 is advisable when possible for ongoing security and fixes.

Safari bug muddles iOS 26 adoption reports

A Mashable analysis argues that the supposed iOS 26 backlash may be overstated because Statcounter’s adoption numbers are distorted by a Safari bug that makes iPhones report they’re on iOS 18.7. Most users are still on iOS 18, and the industry is awaiting a fix (likely in iOS 26.3) before the true upgrade rate is known. The piece notes existing discontent with iOS 26 and Liquid Glass but emphasizes that the numbers may be misleading due to the Safari reporting issue.

Rare Footage: African Bird's Unique Ant Bathing Ritual

A safari guide in South Africa captured rare footage of a hornbill engaging in 'anting,' a behavior where birds allow ants to crawl over them to help remove parasites. This process, which involves either passive or active interaction with ants, is believed to aid in parasite control, feather maintenance, and possibly self-stimulation. The footage, shared by Umkumbe Bush Lodge, highlights the unique relationship between birds and ants, with formic acid from ants playing a key role in deterring avian parasites.
