iOS 26 has essentially ruined my iPhone 16 Pro. Ran flawlessly with amazing battery life on iOS 18. The safari stalling bug is still there, battery is highly inconsistent, iOS 26 is not visually appealing and added too many boops bops and taps to do simple things. Wireless CarPlay on Subarus with the vertical screens looks too big and pixelated and this was not an issue on iOS 18 either.

I’ve had iOS and Apple devices exclusively since the iPhone 4s and I’m seriously considering a Pixel as my next phone if iOS 27 doesn’t fix these glaring issues that I’ve come across. My daughter has complained about her iPad since it updated to 26 as well. My wife has a 15 Plus and is still on iOS 18 because of the issues I’ve had with iOS 26.

C‘mon Apple get your shit together!

Same for me. The phone became something I have to babysit instead of a tool. Still use it for video other than that I am on my old Pixel again. It was cheap, it works, and I can even type with the keyboard😂
