Incorrect system color on popover view, and does not update while switching dark mode on iOS 26 beta 3
All system colors are displayed incorrectly on the popover view. Those are the same views present as a popover in light and dark mode. And those are the same views present as modal. And there is also a problem that when the popover is presented, switching to dark/light mode will not change the appearance. That affected all system apps. The following screenshot is already in dark mode. All those problem are occured on iOS 26 beta 3.

Why is this app ranked at the top on the App Store for browsers?
I recently noticed that an app called Private Browsing Web Browser has been ranking at the top for the keyword “browser” on the App Store for a long time, even ahead of well-known browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. This is not only the case in the U.S.; it also appears to rank top in many other regions. This app has not been updated for a long time, and both its interface and feature set seem extremely basic. There also appears to be nobody to discuss it on the internet, and some of the App Store ratings look very suspicious. I previously reported this to the Apple team by email, and questioning about the algorithm, but they consistently responded: The App Store ranking system has no problem, and it's working as expected.” I wanted to ask everyone: Do you think it is normal for this app to rank number one for “browser” on the App Store? Also, the same developer has another very similar browser app called Snowbunny Private Web Browser, which also ranked high.

iOS 26 UISplitViewController in dark mode appearance.
We have encountered a problem on iOS 26. When switching to dark mode, the color of all subviews (font color, background color, etc.) of the Sidebar (Primary View) of UISplitViewController will not change. For example, if it is set to the color of UIColor.label, it will always be black and will not be white in dark mode. On Xcode, just create a UISplitViewController in Storyboard without changing any settings, and run it directly to see the following: The title of the Navigation Bar defaults to the label color, and it is still black after switching to dark mode. There is no such problem in the Secondary View or other places. This problem has occurred since iOS 26 beta 3, and iOS 26 beta 4 is now the same. But beta 1 and beta 2 have no problem. I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if there is something that needs to be changed to adapt to iOS 26?

iPhone 14 strange landscape size classes
According to the HIG documentation, the iPhone 14 landscape size classes are really strange. https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/foundations/layout/ Why the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro portrait and landscape orientation size classes are the same as compact width and regular height? And I tested it on Xcode, the landscape size classes of iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro should be compact width and compact height. But the landscape size classes of iPhone 14 Pro Max is still wrong, the setting of compact height is not match for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Is it a bug of Xcode? I think it should check out.
