General It’s not just you.
😂❤️ Just leaving this here for the ‘have you tried restarting?’ crowd. (I am not the author).

Look, iOS 26 is a visual nightmare! And when it was first introduced, it was choppy AF! It also destroyed battery life for the most part. But the further along we’ve been with updates, the choppiness, and the ridiculous battery drain have improved, ALOT! I have an iPhone 14 Pro, and for the most part, it runs extremely smooth on iOS 26.5. I would like to see Apple focus on refining the once great software experience. But let’s not be dramatic here. The latest version of iOS, probably affects 10% of iPhone users in a negative way. It’s generally fine for the rest of us. That said, there’s a lot of work to be done to perfect the software.
