| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 995 Mac Daily for Thursday, April 9th, 2026. I'm your host, Chance Miller. We are |
| 0:09.6 | sponsored this week by Backblaze. Leading off today, Apple has released iOS 26.4.1 for iPhone users today, |
| 0:18.1 | alongside iPadOS 26.4.1 for iPad. The update comes just over two weeks after the release of iOS 26.4 to the public. |
| 0:28.3 | iOS 26.4 was a big update for the iPhone with new features for Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, Reminders, and more. |
| 0:35.9 | iOS 26.4.1 focuses on fixing a bug that was introduced as part of that update. |
| 0:42.4 | Developers had noticed that iPhones running iOS 26.4 would stop receiving iCloud change notifications, |
| 0:49.6 | which impacted cloud data syncing for apps that used the CloudKit framework. |
| 0:57.2 | This includes Apple's own passwords app. |

| 1:32.4 | Luckily, this has been addressed as part of iOS 26.4.1, and you can update your phone by going |
| 1:38.3 | to settings, general, then choosing software update. And if you're on the beta program, the issue |
| 1:44.1 | has also already been |
| 1:45.3 | fixed in the latest release of iOS 26.5. We are sponsored this week by Backblaze. If you are |
| 1:51.9 | building apps, editing video, or managing client work on your Mac, your files change constantly. |
| 1:58.3 | ICloud keeps everything in sync across your devices, which is great for access. |
| 2:03.5 | Time Machine gives you a local backup, but what Backblaze does is adds an automatic off-site backup |
