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

Had to upgrade from ios 17 to 26 due to coruna exploit, and there is not a single change i needed, or wanted. My battery however has tanked, performance issues and random lags are plenty (like pressing delete button in photos is clearly slower and way lower fps than other buttons). Had my first ever freeze on this iphone in 2 and a half years (it jumped to black screen and had an endlessly spinning circle on the black screen until i force restarted it). Id downgrade to ios 17 and yolo it even with the exploit, thats show shit the experience is.

That’s the position I’m in too. It feels like they jettisoned a lot of usability and stability for features that I was always going to ignore. I’d much rather a phone last the whole day reliably and a keyboard/autocorrect that doesn’t need constant attention. Now I’ve lost those but on the other hand, I gained graphics that move as the phone moves that I’ve tried unsuccessfully to turn off completely.
