I don’t care how they do it but I want to be able to press and hold the flashlight icon and, without lifting my finger, immediately begin to slide my finger up and down to adjust flashlight brightness.
Boo form over function. Very minor nod to the increased granularity.
Seriously I wish I could revert back to iOS 17 right now. Actually, I’d settle to restore to 18.5.
iOS 26 is on par with an early beta version and should never have been released to the public in this state.
Shame on you, Apple!!! Bad, bad release!!!!!!!
I’ve been using developer betas of iOS for at least the last 5 or 6 years.
The current state of iOS 26 is worse than any of those betas. It’s sluggish, UX has been thrown out the window entirely, it’s hard to read anything. Everything is harder to achieve. Things that used to just be there now take a few taps and going back and forth between possible locations. Really terrible stuff.
Yes, EXACTLY!!! Thank you!!!
And that goddamn messed up keyboard that keeps moving… everything feels out of place or hard to tap, muscle-memory now makes me do so many typos, mis-taps etc it feels like I’m using an early Android…
It’s bad, it’s really bad…

Oh I did. They know.
Every time I read something like this I’m glad I’ve been ignoring the upgrade popups for the last.. how long has 18 been out..?
I got this pos thinking.. hey if I’m gunna spend a ton I at least want it to get updates for a long time for a change… and then I nearly immediately stopped updating due to the ai nonsense.. I don’t want that shit in my phone so I noped out on the first actual upgrade that came down after I got the thing. What a waste.
If not for the back glass being shattered (despite being in a case since day 1.. I still don’t know how it happened..) I’d just sell it and move to.. idk what since Linux phones aren’t there yet, but something else.
I’ve advised my entire family against upgrading to 26. I’ve never done that before in my life. It’s that bad.
I haven’t had any issue yet. What are you experiencing ?
Oooof
Curious! Didja use iOS 18 for the first six months?
Been super thankful: iOS 26 is more stable than about month five of iOS 18. Unreasonably angry about iOS 18 instability. Probably helps my impression of the new iOS when I do notice a bug to remind myself of how bad it was for so damn long on the last version.
Good news though Apple is planning to reopen their signing wind——NOPE trollin’ they’d never help ya out like that (for REASONS)
Edit: ~~okay iOS 17 isn’t getting security updates so I wouldn’t advocate for reopening that signing window but for iOS 18, of course.~~ Someone on MacRumors just bought a replacement iP15 Pro they made sure would have iOS 18 installed.
Re-edit b/c Apple would likely still patch bad exploits in 17
Lol cute. Yes I did use it, and it was more stable than this even with its quirks.
At least I could type a full sentence without any typos because of the damn keyboard shifting unresponsively all the time, or having iMessage lockup or Safari freeze completely or having to reboot my damn iPhone 15 daily, or having the UI flash like an epileptic clanker on schrooms…
Fuck this GlassOnion UI.
Oh, and to answer you, I’ve been using Apple products since System 7. That’s from the late 1900’s for you.
Could my backup to Mac instead of iCloud this year have helped me 🤔
Oh iPhone 17 Pro could be helping (bloatglass optimized)
