and adds no value to the device’s functionality. Make a toggle to do away with the liquid glass and keep the added functionalities that iOS 26 provides, and we would have a much better offering for all.
Turn on the `Reduce Motion` accessibility option, it solves all the distracting distortion effects while keeping transparency - it's essentially the prior iOS look.
Point taken. Maybe Jony would not have done this
And surely Mr. Jobs would never have allowed this monstrosity. So, Mr. Cook, we look at YOU. I be looking at Debian 13. Not because I WANT to. But because I am being FORCED to.
No you won’t. And on iOS 26, Reduce Transparency also reduces the contrast of UI elements.
Just turn off automatic updates. Eventually you might have apps that can’t get updates. Eventually there might be a security exploit that can only be fixed by updating your OS. But it’s far more likely that you will want new hardware before then and just get no choice in the matter due to compatibility issues.
Super! Thank you. That is what I was hoping for. I see no need whatsoever to update at this time. Double checking now to make sure it is turned off. I may go ahead at some point with the iPad. I only use it for watchi9ng Baseball at this time. I speak mainly of my desktop. Where I can already do anything I might need to. It is a no go on my phone also
iOS 26 seemingly does more under the covers than iOS 18. But I dialed back some of the settings. But I like many of the improvements. I haven’t used the mail app extensively but I like the functionality in the phone app and safari.
It did look like Fisher price and it made Mac OS X look like a futuristic spaceship in comparison to its brokedown fisherprice toy
There are two separate keyboards, with different spacing on letters, and different methodologies on how they work. The official apps have one keyboard, and everything else the other. The "old" keyboard is very broke.
No, the clock is now the same size as in iOS 18. And I can't drag it down to fill the entire screen, for example. There's no slider in the bottom right corner. There was a slider in 26 RC.

And another 10 years to get to where iOS 18 is now… say iOS 37…?
wait for the indexing to finish, it will get faster after a few days. I have a 13 pro and this exact issue. All new iOS updates do indexing in the background so they always seem slow and buggy at first, the indexing is what causes the performance drop and can then cause the animations to stutter, but once it finishes it should improve.
