Potential issues with iOS 26 update

My alarm went off in silence how is that supposed to wake you up and let you know that it’s go time. Had the volume all the way up and couldn’t hear it can you please explain how that is going to work for your customers?

Hey man, this is a pure iOS 26 problem. I got a battery replacement a few months ago, and the battery capacity is 100%, yet the phone still lags and overheats. This has only started since I updated to iOS 26. I’ve had home screen freezes where I have to restart my phone. The unlocking takes up to 5 seconds compared to the instant unlocking of the previous OS. It’s as simple as this: Apple released a really bad OS. They could’ve done so much better, but it was a huge flop. The video player UI is disgusting, and the search history is gone from the Safari app. These are just a handful of problems with the iPhone OS. If we go to the Mac OS, there are a bunch of more problems and things that they sadly messed up.

bro have you read the news ?? people around the whole world are complaining how bad ios 26 is. from minor things such as overheating and lagging, to completely making the phone useless... this is first and foremost an ios 26 problem

iOS 26. It listens to my streaming services and sometimes it obeys commands of the actors. For example when someone said search for a new CEO a drop-down menu appeared in front of the screen and it searched for a CEO.

Words like "Serious", "Shirley", "Cereal", or other ones similar to Siri will activate it on your device. You can reduce that chance by changing your activation word to "Hey Siri". That is not specific to iOS 26 and it has always been that way. When you set up iOS 26, you may have changed the activation word to Siri if you previously used Hey Siri. The same thing happens to Amazon Alexa users whenever it hears a word like "Alexis". It wreaks havoc for families with someone named Alexis.

I'm in the same situation as your self. Personally I don't think it's the IOS update.

I have looked into my system and it appears that im running 13.1 on a 12 mini.

This is not possible unless it's been mucked about.

You are you paying any attention to the gibberish in analytics......are you?

You need special Apple software to be able to even decode and read the raw data in analytics....and....special training to be able to interpret the results.

I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and this is the worst update to ever come out by Apple. My voicemail page keeps blinking on and off and impossible to listen to them and my group contact I use for emails won't let me edit by not allowing me to copy and paste. It's the same with Tahoe os. The finder on my home page is just a jumbled mess when I use stacks. Don't they test these things before they release it???

How do delete iso 26 and block it forever !!! Apple you guys are discouraging customers not attracting !

i use my phone for business unrelated to social media influencers !! iso 26 is made for playing with not work !!

Have you updated to iOS 26.1 and adjusted the new Liquid Glass slider? You can find the new adjustment at this path,

iphone > Settings > Display & Brightness > Liquid Glass > Tinted

I updated an iPhone 13 mini to ios 26.1 and lost reliable wifi in any location. Also had a hearing device (Phonak sound processor for a cochlear implant) that would pair, connect once and drop as soon as the device was put on my head and thus restore hearing. The only recourse was to delete the pairing and try again. Same result. Shutting down after deletion, same result.

everything is so slow and i can’t click on links because they don’t do anything usually or go to a white

screen with a thinking wheel. things are always timing out and the thinking wheel never actually stops thinking…

I just updated to the new IOS 26-liquid glass. The reflective nature of the light is so distracting and causes migraines. I have tried all the so-call "fixes" for this: adjusting Display and Brightness, Reducing Transparency and Tinting however nothing works. I cannot use Dark Mode as well, because black background with white lettering also triggers migraines. This is affecting me being on my phone for everything, including emails, apps and texting. Does anyone have a true fix? I wish Apple would allow us the choice to go back to the classic settings.

When typing in apps I can’t see what I’m typing! The keyboard often takes over half of the screen and there is no possibility to make it disappear. Part of what I have to type is then BEHIND the keyboard and not visible. This is a general problem and happens with several apps.

The last app I used where it happened was the Watch, when I tried to type the password for unpairing my watch from the phone.

I just want to downgrade the IOS! The previous one was so much better in many ways!

It's not necessary to cuss. And we people here are users only, like you. You aren't cussing anyone at Apple, so be a little less angry and confrontational.
