Apple's iOS Update Threatens GOP Fundraising | JQJO

Apple's iOS 26 update will filter political text messages to a separate inbox without notifications, potentially costing Republicans over $500 million in lost revenue, according to an internal memo from the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). The NRSC argues this will severely impact fundraising and voter mobilization efforts, as 70% of small-dollar donations come via text message. The NRSC is urging immediate action to address this before the update's September release.
