@glennf.com's excellent "Take Control of iOS 26 and iPadOS 26" is a clear, concise and straightforward guide to what's new in those two OSes. I've been using it as a reference for the columns I've been writing about them, and can heartily endorse. For just $10, it's a bargain. 3/3

We’ve released Take Control of Tahoe by @joekissell.com and Take Control of iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 by @glennf.com at www.takecontrolbooks.com. Early orders have been quite strong. Get ‘em while they’re hot!
