he lies it is total trash, keyboard is horrible and it stutters all over

The atrocious keyboard and screen stuttering are my big issues. I don't actually mind the new look or liquid glass, but especially lately, half the time the autocorrect and suggested words do not work AT ALL and even a reboot doesn't help.

I don’t mind the design of 26 at all. It’s nothing fantastic but nothing bad either. But this has been the flakiest iOS ever for me. I always see people on here who complain about every new iOS version and how it has issues. I have fortunately never had any problems. Until iOS 26 that is. It is just not as smooth and polished as the others have been for me. Nothing horrible, but definitely not as good.

I really want to like iOS 26 because I always liked Frutiger Aero interfaces like Windows 7. Sadly the quality, usability and ergonomics (eye comfort) are just not there, much like the early betas of iOS 7. Form over function just like in the Jony Ive days.

This year I am challenging myself to skip the annual major release entirely. So far it’s really easy.

Reminder everyone.

Install a tvOS beta profile and you can continue on with iOS 18, sans red badge annoyances, and with no worries about an accidental upgrade.

Just enable iOS 18 betas guys

Not possible for those of us with 17s 😭. But a good idea for those with 16 and older!
