The Top-Selling Mobile Phone of All Time Is Not an iPhone
basic mobile phones from the 2000s are among the nostalgic devices experiencing a revival.
As the pioneer in the smartphone arena, one might think that one of Apple’s iPhone versions would rank as the best-selling mobile device ever, but that isn’t factual. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus stand as the top-selling smartphones with 224 million units sold, their much-anticipated larger displays playing a significant role in their success. Yet, when it comes to overall cellphone sales, these devices rank third.
The first two positions are held by Nokia devices, specifically the Nokia 1100 (250 million) and Nokia 1110 (248 million). This might seem unexpected, but there are quite straightforward explanations for Nokia’s leadership in this category, and they illustrate why this record is unlikely to be surpassed in the near future.

WhatsApp Beta Unveils Liquid Glass Features for Improved Message Reactions and Other Enhancements
WhatsApp is advancing its Liquid Glass redesign on iOS, with the most recent TestFlight build showcasing updates to message reactions and context menus. Here are the specifics.
### Liquid Glass Redesign Progresses in Beta Before Wider Launch
Last year, after the introduction of iOS 26, Meta initiated a limited test of the Liquid Glass aesthetic applied to the official app’s bottom navigation bar and certain elements of its Chats tab interface.
To date, this rollout seems to remain quite restricted, with the majority of users still experiencing the pre-Liquid Glass design.
In TestFlight builds, however, Meta has consistently been refining the Liquid Glass concept.
Recently, the WhatsApp build on TestFlight showed that Meta is working to incorporate Liquid Glass into the in-chat interface, following a prior beta that presented a similar redesign for the app’s voice message player.
Now, WABetaInfo reports that Meta is set to apply the same upgrade to two additional components of the chat experience: message reactions and context menus.
Like other unannounced WhatsApp features identified by WABetaInfo, the updated interface is not available to beta testers yet. Nonetheless, the site managed to activate it ahead of its official release.
Here’s what WABetaInfo discovered:
> At present, the reaction tray boasts a more solid and opaque look. While the context menu has been refreshed with the Liquid Glass design in the chat list, the context menu for messages retains a simpler background style with limited transparency effects. Consequently, these elements still seem visually inconsistent with other sections of the app that have already embraced the new design language.
As is the case with other unlaunched features identified in WhatsApp’s TestFlight builds, there’s still uncertainty regarding when these updates will reach the App Store version.
Nonetheless, the ongoing appearance of new Liquid Glass references in beta builds indicates that Meta is diligently working on the redesign and implies that an official launch may be approaching soon.
Arrays, objects… now ‘composites’?
Nice 9-minute video from Matt Pocock (from about a year ago) introducing composites. The problem of not being able to compare objects definitely feels worth solving. Or, more accurately, fixing the issue where when compare two objects that look exactly the same, it’s still false. And that using them as keys doesn’t work. Sounds like […]
