Wish I waited to update till 26.1 was pushed. Too many bugs for me on 26 (iPhone 16 Pro Max).
That was quick! I bet 26.1 includes a way to disable that "liquid glass" feature that is polarizing the Apple community.
Can I just point out the absurdity of an independently scrolling text box on this screen? Is that update available box a fixed size or something? If yes - why? Nowhere else in Settings is there an independently scrollable text box.
Rant over. Who knows? Maybe 26.1 fixes this specific issue.

Just give me the option to disable all the Liquid Glass nonsense and I’ll be happy. This isn’t a huge ask.
Just give us a toggle in the Display control panel, Apple. It’s ok for people giving you money to not be 100% onboard with your “bold new vision.”

Weird. I use Total wireless from Verizon, shows as activated on Verizon, works for me. I find it funny it says Verizon everywhere on my phone where it used to say something else.
On iOS 26, Settings | Accessibility | Display & Text Size | Reduce Transparency -> On
When do we expect wide release? This is the buggiest release across everything I own (Mac, iPhone, watch, iPad) that I can remember.
That doesn't get rid of the moving/shifting lit borders around widgets and icons, which is what I'm waiting for.
..and please see my other post why "reduce transparency" is still full of bugs. I have seen several buttons where the text just completely disappears when enabling.
I have no idea what the update is going to contain, but there are so many bugs in iOS 26, it will take years to weed them out at Tim Cook’s sloth-management pace. 🦥

The borders are still there, and as I said, "reduce transparency" still buggy as hell. How about just an option to disable liquid glass?
Screenshots from this morning with reduce transparency turn on:
Boy does Tahoe need a .1. I hope it's a significant and loaded .1.
It is available for NL in this beta! So probably more EU countries also
Hopefully, 16.1 would address those bugs. My #1 bug is Apple Maps turning black.
Maybe it will also sneak in Digital Passport ID.
I don't think that's happening. Like iOS 7 before it, Apple will continuously tune Liquid Glass, as well as fix Reduce Transparency bugs.
I find some of the reactions to Apple’s iOS 26.1 Beta a bit strange. It’s a developer-focused release — if you’re not a developer, there’s really no rush to install it. And honestly, rather than jumping straight to complaints, it might be better to take some time to explore and understand the tools you already have. The way iOS 26 looks is customisable — don’t like the glass effect? Just turn it off. The new app icons are cleaner and smarter, and overall, there’s plenty of flexibility for users to customise them to their liking. Users have more control than ever to personalise their experience.
Oh, I'll add that I am running 26 across iPhones, iPads, and Macs of various persuasions, from the first beta to the current release, with very few, if any, issues... working like a dream. Personal and business use... Some people just aren't happy!
Apple, despite the criticism last year, seems to have its act together this year. Try owning a Samsung... Android releases are a nightmare... and Google Play service updates are hit or miss...

Imagine if Apple had taken the beta phase seriously. Instead of releasing a new version every two weeks, they waited four weeks. Just like developers of Ubuntu, LinuxMint or Windows do. And simply postponed the release by a few weeks.
Everyone would be happy about a much more bug-free upgrade, instead of now having to "looking forward" for new updates to fix the bugs.
I know! That would be so innovative and special, you would be able to call it “think different”.
