I just want to not wait 5 seconds for the buttons to input my passcode to appear
So far it seems snappier and much better, many bugs have been ironed out; no longer feels like early beta.
Feels like I’m having an Apple device, and not and old Android. About fucking time.
Hopefully it comes with some improvements to battery life. That’s been my man issue with the 26 releases so far.
My phone only lasts a handful of hours on 26. 15 pro
Mine goes all day pretty easy, driven pretty hard too. 14 Pro Max [84% health]
Tinted glass will be nice. Idk about yall but I like being able to read notifications
Alarms and Timers now require a swipe to turn them off
I have been looking forward to this.
What is the benefit of this? Seems pretty annoying tbh.
Harder to turn off an alarm/timer on accident.
That really never happened to me. I find swiping to confirm anything really annoying.
🤷🏼♂️
When they add a real off switch for Liquid Glass, I’ll upgrade to iOS 26. Until then, 18.7.1 and my trusty 14 Pro Max will sustain me.
Accessibility -> Display and Text Size -> Reduce Transparency.
That just reduces, rather than disabling the effect completely, correct?
Nay, it’s totally gone
Increase contrast is also a worthwhile option.
As someone who no longer follows the details of these updates, I’m not sure what is in this update. I can say that I really regret updating my iPad to this year’s trash version, so I think I’ll just see if i can hold on the the old version on my phone.
iOS 26 has progressively gotten better on my M2 iPad Pro. It was a stuttery mess during the betas.
And flutter devs everywhere tear out their hair because their managers tell them to update something completely out of their control.
I can’t find the camera swipe control. Anyone know where that is hiding?
Settings -> Camera
Option is called Lock Screen Swipe to Open Camera and is near the bottom.
I found it on iPad but I still can’t find it on my iPhone 16 Pro 🤷🏼♂️. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
The amount of updates this company has pushed to make alarms less obnoxiously easy to accidentally turn off is insane. I wish I could install apps so I wasn’t forced to use their stock garbage.
