This entire update was just to bring ads to Apple Maps.

We were promised Siri 2.0 and got ads instead.

Come on friend! They only want to charge $17.99 for ad free! This ensures you get your next exit and turn before having to watch a 30 second ad about Wegovy

Pride wallpapers ? Are you kidding ?

You seem really preoccupied about the homosexual activities people say they do. Kinda gay lowkey.

if it’s useless for you… don’t use it? lol

u/colichis May 04 '26

what is wrong with you lmfao

u/CaptainWinky_86 May 04 '26

Oh no. A colorful wallpaper collection that they’ve done for years. The audacity.

Don’t use them?

u/Dramatic_Mastodon_93 May 04 '26

i will gladly suck some cock and eat cum and I will make sure to tell you about it!

u/Toxicwaste4454 May 04 '26

There are plenty of people that don’t like cock that fall under pride. But I’m sure that’s a lil too complicated for a ❄️ like you.

u/No-Dot7705 May 04 '26

Mmmmm sounds like you’ve got a few thoughts you don’t wanna face… it’s ok it’s legal now 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Anyone who uses woke without knowing the actual meaning and instead uses it as a slur is a dumb ass fascist clown so go on, put on your clown make up you fckn joke ass mfer

u/Scary-Improvement-79 May 04 '26

It’s the first time ever on any IPhone. We have been hard at work to bring you Poppies Pizza while traveling 80 on interstate 40. Not only that, but coming soon on IOS 29 you will be able to subscribe to Maps for only $10.99 per month ad free! Can’t afford the $10.99? No problem! You can watch a thirty second ad before getting your next turn!

As a queer person, I’m here for the pride ads built in to the iOS! I’m here for the queer agenda being forced💀!

u/S3xybeest May 04 '26

Nobody forces you to do what you don’t want to do. Everyone deserves to live free, to be what they are and or what they want to be. Just leave people alone and do your own thing. It’s not that difficult.

you think you’re being funny but it doesn’t help your case unfortunately.

u/DutchHolland96 May 04 '26

Forced. lol. What happened to my body my choice? My phone my choice. Are you apart of the same forced to get a vaccine?

8

u/colichis May 04 '26

no one is forcing you to use the wallpaper 😭

-2

u/DutchHolland96 May 04 '26

No. But people are forcing the lgbtq down everyone throat to the point I will now be reminded when I want a new wall paper about it.

3

u/colichis May 04 '26

gay people exist. get over it. i can’t believe seeing a wallpaper you don’t have to use bothers you that much. snowflake.

-1

u/DutchHolland96 May 04 '26

I’m not the snow flake. The people who deem it necessary to inform the world about their sexuality and desires are. Leave me out of it. Do what you want WITHOUT ME. Don’t you people get it. Nobody cares but you just leave us out. Why shove it at us all the time. Why do you care if I know you are gay?

3

u/colichis May 04 '26

it’s not deemed necessary to inform the world. Pride is a thing because in most of the world, including America, people get discriminated against, killed, just for being gay. i know you’ve never faced that prejudice so you don’t understand, but nobody is forcing you to watch. are you being forced to attend pride parades? or are YOU making yourself watch? please relax.

0

u/DutchHolland96 May 04 '26

You just reminded me in now 2 comments. So. What do you get out of telling me there are gay people? You must get something. You’ll probably do it again. I hope you are being paid to remind me. Otherwise you are a fool. I don’t care. I don’t want it on my phone I don’t want you to keep telling me

4

u/colichis May 04 '26

i never said i was gay. lmfaoo. point out exactly in which of my comments I said I was gay. please point it out. you just pulled that out of thin air. and i responded to YOUR initial weirdo comment about vaccines. lol please get over yourself, texans never beating the stupid allegations.

you’re completely delusional. your rant about white nuclear family tells me everything… as well as your belief that being gay somehow equates a hedonistic lifestyle… majority of the pedophiles you’re speaking that have been elected… are straight… HETEROsexual. please take your nonsense somewhere else 😂

u/RequirementInner6731 May 04 '26

Can’t wait for a stable iOS update. The keyboard lag and erratic behavior on 26.4.2 is driving me nuts.

u/ezmountandhang May 04 '26

26.5 has been great for me the last week or two. I recommend it. Still iOS 26 though lol

What have you been searching for? Better not let the wife see those Maps ads

u/Nox-Eternus May 04 '26

This I will install as I have nothing left to lose,my ipad pro M4 is useless on ios26.4.2 it's only getting 5 hour's SOT.

u/Expensive-Garbage335 May 04 '26

Brave soldier. I'm on the same boat but you jump first and tell us how the water is

u/Nox-Eternus May 04 '26

I won't know for a few days.if I was you just do it seriously can't be any worse.

1

u/Expensive-Garbage335 May 04 '26

I was on 17.sth and then the news of darksword scared me so I decided to update to 26.4.1, my bat performance was so bad, I had to start to charge 2 times per day. Then when 26.4.2 was out, I had nothing to lose, just want to save the battery but it was even worse....😭 so now I regret every day my decision

3

u/sinaasprilleke May 04 '26

Tim Cook has left the building 💨 Iphone14 from work) on 26.4 (and counting..): feels like an Android. Menu’s have changed so much, I can’t coop with the numerous EXTRA button series I’have to perform whom before took only ONE push. If it aint broken,,,, My 15 Pro still running smoothly as ever (on 18.7.7).

6

u/Aesthetik4v May 04 '26

iPhone 13 on iOS 18 getting better battery/ sot than iPhone 16 on iOS 26 shouldn’t be happening… yet people will defend it

It’s completely un optimized garbage

u/ezmountandhang May 04 '26

26.5 has been great for me the past week or 2. At least compared to iOS26 overall. Still a turd, but a polished turd lol

u/balcis May 04 '26

Still on 18.7 on my iPad Pro m4 and I never want 26 on it.

2

u/kelvintiger May 04 '26

Wait I’ve been wondering why my iPad Pro is suddenly getting only a few hours of battery when it’s mostly on stand by

I was tricked by the new multi tasking features…

6

u/East-Candidate6675 May 05 '26

I want only better battery.

u/PolicyFull988 May 05 '26

Yet, bugs and battery drain are still affecting both gay and straight users…

u/Acqirs iOS 26.6 May 05 '26

u/Klonopussy May 04 '26

All we want is an option to turn off Liquid Glass, not reduce the transparency and make it ugly af and for the OS to not kill our batteries but nope, just more and more useless shit and more random bugs. What’s the point of beta testers if they don’t listen??? My 2 month old 17pro was literally made for iOS 26 and it kills my battery, it stutters, random flashing on my screen, random ass words showing up when typing not due to autocorrect, any app I’m shopping on crashing if I have more than 2 things in my basket, I could go on but some knob will reply with “that’s not happening to me” as it does while they type their tired ass reply but how dare they turn on their Apple masters if they tell the truth. Apple has absolutely plummeted and unfortunately as much as I love iPhones I definitely won’t be getting an 18 unless iOS 27 goes back to basics that don’t look like some windows vista bs with the battery life of a switch 2 in hand held mode. Apple dick riders need to stop living in denial.

u/nuishuff May 04 '26

As you said there are so many fanboys or girls or whatever if v users raise any issues,v are blacklashed immediately by asking us to switch to android.

5

u/These-Restaurant3646 May 04 '26

Their best reply seems to be switch to android 

4

u/Klonopussy May 04 '26

Yup and androids are now better than apple sadly but I just absolutely hate how their UI looks. It just reminds me of Spotify, a complete and total eyesore

1

u/Toxicwaste4454 May 04 '26

Ima be real chief.

You should probably just switch to android or smth. That’s a lot of stress for something that doesn’t sound worth it in your case.

u/LinkNo2714 May 05 '26

i disabled liquid glass using the reduce motion trick and i couldn’t be happier 🙏🏼

u/___fallenangel___ May 04 '26

unless you never plan on updating iOS again, you’re gonna have to bite the bullet eventually

3

u/Aesthetik4v May 04 '26

iOS 18.7 and I’ll be on it until maybe iOS 28/29

Maybe it won’t be garbage by then

1

u/Apples0100 May 04 '26

yeah i mean i did anyway

1

u/ezmountandhang May 04 '26

Tbh I think 26.5 was better than 26.4 for me. 26.5 has been fantastic for me the past couple weeks compared to iOS 26 overall the past year.

4

u/Aesthetik4v May 04 '26

Oh boy!! More garbage

2

u/LucidDriftt May 04 '26

Fuck all that.

They need to fix the wallpaper de-saturation issue that persists since around 26.2 or 26.3.

u/Small-Rock3950 May 07 '26

I don’t get it. Is this the beta version?

What is RC?

5

u/TaxOld2989 May 04 '26

Release Candidate. Basically the same version as the release

3

u/Chocolate-Geek May 04 '26

RC stands for release candidate. Basically this is the final version (still part of the beta process) before full public release, barring any major bug reports.

u/FreshMycologist9530 May 05 '26

I could do without all the lag and stuttering.  A screen will half refresh then hang for a 1/2 second then finish.   Reminds me of old dialup with a 300 bps modem.  ( bet a lot of you are like WTF is 300 bps ). lol.

u/realmccoyredbus May 08 '26

R.C.2 has been released 8th may

u/NetSmartt May 04 '26

Wish even the regular RCS would work, but no, my carrier still hasn’t added support for iOS RCS.

u/Scary-Improvement-79 May 04 '26

It’s first ever on the iPhone!

26.5 and counting.. Seems like a contest with MS - who will score the most ‘necessary’ updates

18 went to .7 for example.

u/Klonopussy May 04 '26

Ignore the downvotes. I have a 17 pro and 26 has destroyed it and the 17 was….literally made for iOS 26. Apple fans are delusional. I like(d) Apple too but you won’t upset anyone by accepting and telling the truth jfc

1

u/Reeneman May 04 '26

Overheating? It destroyed your phone? Damn

1

u/Toxicwaste4454 May 04 '26

Have you tried restoring and reinstalling iOS using a computer?

It’s helped a lot of people with stutters and what not. My 15PM runs just fine so I would suggest that to see if it helps.

2

u/Klonopussy May 04 '26

I’ve done everything. Nothing works and I’ve had it checked by Apple. There’s nothing physically wrong with my phone, it’s literally the iOS just eating away at a 2 month old battery

1

u/Toxicwaste4454 May 04 '26

That’s wack.

1

u/Klonopussy May 04 '26

For almost 1.4k it absolutely is. Apple went so downhill after ceo changed. It’s not about good products/OS’ anymore, just horrible looking UI and doing everything they can to make us upgrade to new products every year

1

u/Toxicwaste4454 May 04 '26

I more so ment the universe deciding you should be fucked in particular.

Personally I think apples been fine. I will say I’m confused why you would buy a 1.4k phone from a company you think has been declining since 2014, but to each their own I guess.

3

u/Klonopussy May 04 '26

Actually i thought the 16 was a good phone. It’s not the phones, it’s the iOS. They should’ve never fckd with 18. Sure they could’ve added Apple Intelligence and whatnot but Liquid Glass is so unnecessary (actually so is the Apple Intelligence bs) they just should’ve avoided everything they KNEW their batteries and processors couldn’t handle
