Slide-over is going to make a LOT of people happy. That was one of the most egregious removals from the iPad and a deal breaker for many many users.
Agreed. That was peak iOS UI.
You don't understand how remarkable that change is because Jony Ive isn't explaining it to you with his accent. He'd tell you how the design team painstakingly spent hours figuring out the optimal spacing right down to the pixel. Or how about how they spent hours on the animation to make you believe that you are sliding the highest quality glass across a cushion of air. It's absolutely magical. MAGICAL! DON'T QUESTION THE ALL MIGHTY APPLE!
I hope this feature is added to the Apple Watch. I once ended up getting to work late because I accidentally tapped the off button instead of snooze.
All I care about is: does it fix the absolutely garbage N1 networking chip’s issues, or do I need to just suck it up and make the long trip to my nearest Apple Store and demand a replacement for this overpriced slab of aluminum and glass that can’t stay connected to my car for more than 90 seconds?
That + symbol is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the article title lol
The slide over for the iPad has to do with multitasking and multiple windows open at once, not the slide to snooze change.
I agree though, it would be nice to have the slide to snooze on the watch.
I’m kind of shocked to say it, but you know what? Liquid Glass has kind of grown on me. I’ve had Reduce Motion activated for years, but the iOS 26 update actually encouraged me to turn it back on, and I like it with this UI style. These smaller updates sound useful.
All I want is a separate SPEAKER button when I make calls. WHY do I have to press through a menu jsut to select speaker when im driving? This is as stupid as not including COPY and PASTE in the early days. Do apple employees not use the phone for making calls?
It is awful and I can’t believe Apple (and users) actually thought that looks good. People hate liquid glass but it’s a million times better than that trash. I’m glad it’s gone. Makes it look like a cheap kids toy.
What problems are you having? Works fine for me
Like the new version of the stop button for alarm. Good to see slide over back in iPad in some form. Would like the original version to be brought back.
But… In dozens of articles, you wrote that LD looks great, incredible, and simply magical. You defamed critics and wrote clearly: "Get used to it."
How can it suddenly look "odd" now?
The high contrast buttons from iOS 18 (see below) are no longer needed because in 26 the keypad icon at the bottom now has a the grey background the numbers had in 18. Also, generation Alpha was born with a gene that creates a higher tolerance for low-contrast visual designs. As a result we can expect future OSes to be more artsy looking and having a UI design theme identifier in addition to the version number. OS 27 stained glass, OS 28 grained wood, OS 29 heavy metal (new ringtones!!), OS 30 luminous aluminium, OS 31 Salvator Dali, OS 32 expressionistic impressionism, OS 33 Jony Ive (e.g. the number buttons will have a razor thin border, all text in extra ultra light font style) …
Whoa! I almost got a joy hearth attack when reading the fantastic news that the folder name is left aligned instead of center aligned. Thank you Apple for such goodies, go Tim go!
Can anybody explain why are they adding more Apple Intelligence languages, specifically for EU countries where Apple Intelligence is not available? What am I missing?

As is fixing things that used to work fine but were broken by iOS 26's redesign, apparently.
Slide Over is back? Thank the Lord. Now if they’ll just let me read e-mails full screen then my iPad will be usable again.
Maybe iOS will return to normal when Fantastic Tim is gone, for normal people and not elves or whoever that guy is developing software for. Then again, perhaps iOS is already being developed by a hallucinating Siri in collaboration with a delusional Tim.
I’m not sure I’d classify left-aligned folder titles as a feature 🤔 a very minor design tweak, yes.
Side note on iPad Safari.
Who on earth came up with the idea of closing the last Safari window differently than all other windows?
And also moving the buttons in left pop up bar from the bar left side to the bar right side ?!

Either do I it looks weird. Seems a good example of “change for changes sake” as opposed to making it better.
