Same here, always feels a bit unpolished these days.

Alarms or alerts? I've never had an actual alarm go off at anything other then full volume.

Yeah, I'm very disappointed with iOS as of late.

Yep same.

iP15 Pro
iOS 26.1

Screen shots just don’t work consistently. Anybody else having issues?

Alarms for me. The current alarm level is at about 40%. Made a fresh one as I needed one at another time and could barely make it out. Calendar alerts are deafening though...

I’m on a 15 pro max and since installing iOS 26 battery life has been terrible.
I’m not a heavy user and have gone from charging every other day to needing to charge every day. No new app, same usage as before.
As with many, I find the keyboard even worse and it wasn’t always great before.

I recall the battery life on my 15PM taking a similar hammering after installing 26. That said, I think I did notice it improve again upon installing 26.1 although I traded it soon after so I don’t have a great deal of anecdotal evidence to support that observation.

Just installed 26.1 on my work phone. Safe to say I will certainly be staying with 18 on my other phone. What a mess, it's like I'm using toy.

I've been an Apple fan for quite sometime, and Tahoe and iOS26 haven't impressed me at all. This whole liquid glass (I refuse to capitalise it, despite the OS trying) design is lame. OS X Tiger looked better.

26.2 RCs out.

Agree on this - I've actually been looking longingly at some Android phones since the iOS 26 release (not that I'd ever switch, I enjoy the Apple ecosystem too much).

26.2 out, stone the crows 10.9gb

Ah, the joys of spending a couple of hours updating all your devices.

I have an iPhone 13 and currently on 18.6.2.

I've had an update to be able to go to 26.2, is it worth making the jump to it?

13 Mini here and 26 has been fine for me. My battery is the main issue but it was on its way out before I upgraded to 26.

I have a 13 Pro Max and iOS 26 is fine. I have no problems with it. Battery is OK with 89% capacity.

The battery is not great on the phone anyway (85% health) but does the trick.

Wanted to make sure that it was not going to cause any slow downs or issues before updateing.
