But they are not "glitches", they are bugs, and yes, you were maligning those you disagreed with.

Apple Pushes iPhone Users Still on iOS 18 to Upgrade to iOS 26

A random unreplicated behavior, imo, is not a bug it’s a glitch. I use the word bug and all of its synonyms to represent untintended behavior anybody can replicate. I use the word glitch if we are discussing the user interface.
Having the calculator calculate 3 as the sum of 1+1 is a bug.
You are more than welcome to use your own phraseology. I’ll use mine.
I'm just an iOS user. I've been using iPhones since the 4s days. iOS 26 - minus the GUI fluff iOS 26 was not that bad. It was interesting to see YouTubers and tech sites jump on the IOS 26 LITERALLY IS THE WORST RELEASE IN THE HISTORY RELEASES. Gotta get clicks and views somehow I guess. lol
Maybe I'm getting older but there's a reason why Macrumors made this thread - it gets attention and interactions. Good for them - hope they're making $. And here I am helping this 14 page thread along... doing exactly what they want.
I am not a fan of the glass ui... however... iOS 26 was pretty good to my 15 Pro Max while I had it on that phone for a month. Felt fast, new, etc. Battery suffered (as they always do with new iOS releases ...). And on iOS 26.2 battery life is now quite nice.
Again - my pathetic $.02 but iOS 26 was one of the better ones when it came to lack of bugs. (Please feel free to downvote the hell out of this post - hope your Monday is great).
The effort people put into not updating always intrigues me. I update because of security reasons first and foremost. The tiny fraction of $ in my bank and the safety of my digital data is very important to me.

That is your opinion, and that opinion does not match all the descriptions given of the bugs reported on these forums. Your terminology is designed to malign those you disagree with.
I’m not concerned with hurting someone’s feeling by disagreeing with their characterization of some UI glitch in Apples’ software.
Many of these glitches are totally overblown (and I’m not saying any here are) But people report spacing issues between words with the same veracity as a springboard restart.
And this is in no way to say Apples software is 100% bug free, as no software is.
Anyway you are welcome to disagree with my assessment of how I view Apple software glitches and bugs.
You characterise the bugs a glitches, but that is your opinion. Your attacks on others are merely a reflection of your own character.
No I characterize UI anomalies as glitches and anything that prevents work from being done that’s widespread is a bug.
Yes it’s my opinion and a fair one at that.
There is a pot kettle thing going on. But yeah I call ‘em as I see ‘em.
Again, I refer you back to my previous email.
Same I refer you to my previous emails. Obviously we disagree on how to characterize random UI glitches as such and what is the importance to the individual and how widespread something really is and if it’s even a one time thing.
No surprise. This is the internet.
You got the message son.
BE VIGILANT.
Apple installed ios 18 on my phones without me ever knowing.
Apple zealots claimed I SAW this panel TWICE
when I upgraded 2 phones to 17
AND
TWO MORE times when 18 automatically installed.
I got what I deserved by hitting CONTINUE.
Even if I actually flashed by this panel
the misleading choice of "Continue"
for only ONE of two continuing paths is incompetent at best.
More like what you said "sneaky"
