Still waiting for options to:

• Remove all the ugly white borders
• Turn off the constant 'game centre' notification pop-ups, which are even more intrusive than they were in iOS 18.
• TURN OFF LIQUID GLASS ENTIRELY
Remove all the ugly white borders:

Slide the following slider to Off:

Settings/Accessibility/Display & Text Size/Show Borders
 
Does it have a name?
I don’t think it’s a ringtone, rather it’s a new alert tone for the emergency alerts if I’m interpreting the 9to5 article correctly. Someone with the beta can hopefully confirm.
 
Hope they fix the Photos app. Pics and screenshots were always full screen up until ios 18, and then they fixed it in base 26 release, but now photos aren't full screen again in 26.1

Tested the live translate in EU.. i might understand my catalan speaking relatives for the first time during the coming holidays ❤️
 
The new setting for AirDrop for 30 days is a nice addition. Reminder alarms are also good. Good to see a slider for liquid glass on lock screen. Flashing the screen for alerts will also be beneficial.

The alarm for reminders sounds wonderful.
It’s going to be annoying, but as the typical phone now has so many notifications it’s hard to distinguish important things from the morass of marketing notifications that Apple allows apps to send (they’re guilty of the same thing).
 
Reminders should have an accessibility “feature” where I can hide the number of ‘reminders’ in lists.

A “stress a management” feature.
 
seriously? a clock slider and not a slider for the whole liquid glass enchilada? 🤦‍♂️

You might have to wait a long time. These are a total non-issues for most people.
Why do so many online posters have this weird inability to understand that other people might have different opinions to them, and that they personally might not be in the majority?

Try reading anything about liquid glass and you'll learn that it is a nightmare for readability and usability, the presence of distracting white borders is widely criticised. You might not have a problem with it, but plenty of other people do. As for the pop ups about game mode that cover up game UI elements every single time you lunch a game and can't be turned off, I challenge you to find one single person who genuinely finds them consistently useful.
 
In iOS 26.1 the haptics (vibration) for incoming calls after answering a call not work, in 26.2 is fixed? please can you check?
 
Keep grinding boys and girls. Maybe sometime next year it will be worth it. Gotta fix Siri and get RCS 3.0 in there

Has anyone been able to test wireless CarPlay with an iPhone 17pro? Sure hope they have fixed the CarPlay bugs with the iPhone 17 Pros. Totally unusable as of the latest IOS 26.1 beta!! Constant disconnects and attempts to restart.
 
Well, not fixed. Crapped out almost right away. Starting to regret my iPhone 17 Pro buy. Hard to live without functioning wireless CarPlay while commuting!!
 
There are many, many many things apple could and should have prioritized and done instead of this glassy, merely decorative and utterly useless...
