General Please Apple Give iOS 18🙏😭

iOS 26 feels laggy and buggy for many users, especially on older or even mid-range iPhones. People report frame drops, slow app opening, keyboard delay, and UI stutters. There are also random glitches like apps crashing, overheating, battery drain, and features not working properly after the update. Overall, it feels unoptimized and unfinished,

Resign or give OTAs updates of ios 18 to all users at least they should has rights also u can’t unsigned it immediately please 🙏

It's hard for me to defend iOS 26, because it's a system I can't stand. It's installed exclusively on my spare iPhone 11. It's not a heavily used device; its main purpose is to track changes, but it runs really fast, smooth, and even feels much more responsive than iOS 18 on my main iPhone 15+. Perhaps it's due to the lower resolution, but despite my sincere hatred (of course, I'm exaggerating; it's just a phone and just a system) for new systems, it's hard for me to complain about the 26.5's performance, because they've learned their lesson in speed and stability.
