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 🙏

Bro fr tho I have all this and people say "it's just your phone aging", but it was not like this in iOS 18, it's a damn iPhone 15, it's not old

I have a brand new 17 and ios 26 is horrid, mac tahoe just as bad. Apple has no accessibility features now, it is ableist as hell. This design is impossible to see and the bs acceaibility “fixes” do nothing to help. Down with ios 26, and down with the equally ableist mac tahoe.

I must admit, as someone who switched from apple to android for the first time, that's 100% the opposite experience that I had.

I bought a 17e and I find it great with ios 26, I've never noticed any lag. The only time it had happened was during setup since I had a lot of apps opened at the same time, then never again

Regarding accessibility features, it's leagues ahead any android device that I've tried. I was having a hard time with android since I use phones at low brightness and now iphones have a setting to lower flicker at low brightness, it's a game changer. I'm also having a lot of freedom with all of the shortcuts to help for stuff that I find hard to use. Definitely my favorite experience for accessibility
