Totally like the feel of the new UI and a lot of iOS 26 features.
However, it is definitely the buggiest major iOS release I've experienced in years.
I hope the devs in Apple are scrambling day and night on the first bug fix release. Soon please!
I'm intermittently experiencing this showstopper problem with Contacts and Phone app.
(see pic - that's all I see upon launch)
Workaround: Force Reset. I'm getting fast at this:
1 - Press left volume UP once
2 - Press left volume DOWN once,
3 - Hold the right side power button until power off option appears.
4 - Wait 1 one thousand, 2 one thousand 3... Press right side power button until Apple logo appears.
Then Phone and Contacts work as expected. But... I need to repeat 2 hours later.
Is there someone at Apple I could beg to fix this?
