Just updated to iOS 26 and a few hours later got this notice about “enchanted 5g” for some apps. I had no idea what it was, so I checked the details and saw that it was automatic enabled and shares info about what apps you use with Verizon. If it wasn’t for this notification I would have no idea this was running.

No thanks. Disable that.

Edit: “enchanted” lol. Meant enhanced.

Tired of sacrificing? Try sacrificing with enchanted apps!

Oh my god, I would kill for a taxi app that let me pay in the blood of the innocent. Or a map app that got me there ridiculously fast but always seeing something horrible I could see but not act fast enough to stop–or maybe occasionally through a layer of hell, or something?

Maybe a food delivery app that made all other food taste like ash? A workout tracking app that I could lie on and have retroactively spent like three extra hours doing squats?

An app that creates birds to identify.

Pokemon go but the Pokémon are real and I need to wrestle with the ramifications of that.

A calendar I can actually remember to use

A public transit app that makes the busses be where it says.

A web browser that doesn't suck!

Social media for the mirror world where not everybody sucks.
