Make sure to make a proper backup of your data, as you could lose everything on your iPhone in the event you need to downgrade back to iOS 26.

This week's dispatch has it all: the indomitable spirit of internet perverts, a genre of music named for its awfulness, slang that didn't come from African-American vernacular English, and a couple of YouTubers who out-earned Star Wars.
