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.
Tinted glass will be nice. Idk about yall but I like being able to read notifications
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]
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.
