Man my 17 pro max is on its way in the mail, gonna trade in my 15PM but have been holding off on upgrading to iOS 26 until right before I have to transfer data but seeing so many people reporting bugs and battery issues definitely looks concerning lol.

Do you think it’s possible they’ll let me transfer my current iOS 18 to the 17PM once it arrives?

No.

You don't have to update your 15PM before transferring to the 17PM and it will transfer fine. Your 17PM will remain on iOS 26, no way to downgrade it to iOS 18.

Thanks for the clarification!

I just hope once everything gets transferred iOS26 will run smoothly, been seeing a lot of bugs and other issues people are experiencing

It's running fine for me on my iPhone Air. The first day or so after transferring, battery isn't going to be great and may have stuttering while the phone finishes indexing in the background. The more data you have on the phone, the longer indexing is gonna take.

Using CarPlay, any map app (Apple Maps or wayze tried) automatically load and start running when connecting to the vehicle. Prior to ios26, map apps only started when selected as an app in CarPlay.
It seems the launch screen is the mixed Home Screen look with maps and widgets and I can’t find an option to disable it or use a different screen as default. Prior to ios26 the launch screen was the last used app or screen.
Phone gets hot now due to this change while driving, obvious from data use and load from maps running.

I also disabled widgets in my phones CarPlay settings but they still load on the launch screen anyway.
 
I'm not seeing this and I have 3 Gmail accounts setup in Mail
I have two and both are showing all mail in the inbox including sub folder mail. It also seems like my rules are not all working or randomly working.

I might try to log out and log in to Gmail on my phone to see if it resets anything.

also, if you are running a navigation on google maps, and try to cancel the existing nav and give the address of a new destination though Siri, then it confirms but still loads the existing navigation. I trusted this once, and noticed when I reached the wrong destination. The next time, I tried but checked my phone for the same and it was still wrong. CarPlay is definitely messed up at the moment.
And yes, this direct maps loading thing is happening on mine as well

I think the maps loading is a new feature, there just isn’t a way to disable or change it. Seems typical to Apple forced changes and we’ll have to deal with it until the next point release they add in support to disable or revert that like the mail AI stuff in iOS 18
