    New anti consumer design? - Battery Usage

    So. Stone me for calling it what I did. But only if you can tell me 1. why we needed a completely new design for the battery usage pane in Settings and 2. how it is actually meaningfully better than before. I admit the previous pane wasn’t too helpful either, especially when it was buggy and...

    iPhone 17 Pro iPhone 17 Pro unlock —> home screen icon lag?

    Hi everyone, I have a new iPhone 17 Pro and love it, however I am noticing an intermittent annoying issue: very often when I unlock the phone and it opens to my home screen, for a brief moment I see the names of my apps but not their icons — then a moment later and the icons appear. I thought...

    iOS 26: “System Data” keeps growing on iPhone 16 Pro Max (anyone else?)

    Anyone else on iOS 26 seeing System Data balloon by several GB a day? Mine went from 29 GB last night to 34 GB this morning, and it’s hit 40+ GB before. I’ve tried rebooting, clearing Safari, deleting update files, reinstalling apps, even restoring from backup — it always comes back. Is this...

    iPhone 16 Pro Battery Life Now TERRIBLE with iOS 26

    Has anybody else with an iPhone 16 Pro noticed that battery life is terrible since updating to iOS 26. The battery drains so fast now. I updated my iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 26 on the first day that the software was available. So it's been well over a week. This can't be the new normal in terms of...

    CarPlay No Siri Voice from CarPlay

    Starting in iOS 18 (I think) if when using CarPlay and I say "Siri, what temperature is it?" CarPlay will display a weather banner but Siri will not voice the response. If I press and hold the phone button on my steering wheel and say the same thing, Siri will voice the responses. I was hoping...

    Is it better to update using Finder/iTunes vs over the air?

    Just curious. What method do you all use to update your phones to the new iOS? iTunes/Finder or over the air? I'm a bit old school and still update my phone using Finder on my Mac. I usually wait about a month or so after the release to update and opted for 18.7. There have been several...

    No recent similar reports - Safari micro stutters

    I don’t know what’s frustrating me more, the state of Apple software or the state of feedback. Theoretically, there should be more people filling feedback than ever, but for what? What are we actually taking the time out of our days for? What are we doing unpaid work for? Why have a public...

    Doing a 180 - Liquid Glass is actually fine

    Well guys, I've got to admit it. After being a liquid glass hater all summer I've finally come around, it's actually ok. It's definitely a new direction for Apple and I'm guessing that a lot of the unsuspecting public might be a bit confused or annoyed when they update, but after using it a bit...

    iOS 26 Like/Dislike Poll

    The contrast between different people's opinions on the Liquid Glass design is astonishing. Let's settle this. Please vote for whether or whether not you like the latest design changes, and make a comment if you have other thoughts, or there's something I missed.

    iOS 26 Messages Wallpapers

    Is there a way to set a wallpaper in messages so it’s just viewable for yourself? I read that a wallpaper you set is apparently viewable to the recipient in the text. I’d like to just customize for myself and not affect the other person.

    Alarms in iOs 26 do NOT show what the words are in the alarm....Is there a fix for this? Before it would show (most of) the words on the alarm (ex. wake up! or reminding me of specific things) but now it doesn't.

    26 will be a stinker

    The RC is still a mess, carrying over bugs even from the very first beta. I recently had to reinstall 18 and then update to 26, and my hopes that some of these bugs may be gone were shattered the moment I started using the phone, because I even encountered visual issues I only ever read about...

    Sleep Tracking messed up since updating to watchOS26

    I've been using the iOS 26 Beta since early July and have had no issues when my watch was still on watchOS 11 but since updating it on Tuesday to the release candidate the sleep tracking has been completely messed up saying I've been awake for much of the night or like last night barely...

    Hi all! I'm heading to the backcountry this weekend, and know that iOS 26 will have 'weather updates via satellite', where in addition to satellite texting/emergency SOS, you can also request weather updates via satellite when you don't have any cellular connection. Does anyone running the...

    What’s your experience on “Adaptive Power”?

    I wonder what does “Adaptive Power actually achieves? Tried enabling it on and off both for quite some time, but seems the average consumption is the same. The bad thing is, all apps seems to get “killed” in the background much sooner, the good thing is it doesn’t limit AOD and 120hz. What are...

    iPhone as an appliance, with clear boring UI

    As an iPhone user, who is really into photography both on the phone and various other cameras, I want my iPhone to be a very powerful tool where the UI ‘gets out of the way’ as much as possible whilst I perform my desired tasks. The UI should be a thin, minimal layer that I notice as little as...
