I went to Settings/accessibility/vision/display and turned on 'reduce motion'. It reduced some of that stuff🍸😸
Got a tip for us?

I use Dark Mode throughout the system. Only my icons are clear.
But yeah, I do have excellent vision.
I have had many bugs in icloud storage that I recently had in ios 18. It has gotten worse in ios 26. My Icloud storage has TRIPLED in size on ios 26. I have 0 texts, messages in icloud is turned off. I have 1 photo and 24 contacts. I even deleted one contact and that didnt reduce the icloud storage. I manually delete texts and from recently deleted so I dont know whats increasing my icloud storage. I have reported this on the feedback page MANY TIMES and APPLE REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS. If I am forced to buy more storage because APPLE is increasing it on its own then I WILL FILE A LAWSUIT with APPLE.
If you google Is there a bug in ios 26 where its increasing icloud storage this will tell you everything. Funny apple is silent on this issue.

IOS 26 has been very smooth on my 15PM. It got a little warm during and after the upgrade but then was back to a cool temperature.
Battery life seems to be slightly worse than iOS 18 (although with my usage I’m still getting a full day of usage), but iOS 26 could still be doing its background stuff.
Always feel better with a dot 1 update, even more when it’s a dot zero dot zero release.
Me, waiting for iOS 18.7.1 update.

A new update with bug fixes and new bugs for the next update iOS 26.0.2
What do you mean? Ive had many iphones I know how to backup my phone. This is definitley an issue ive had since ios 18 and its gotten worse in ios 26
take a look at the option: “Saved to iCloud” on your device and pay attention to the Files app. Also if you have more then one device double check it
No I have nothing in the files app. I deleted that awhile ago. I have messages in icloud turned off. BUT I also dont have messages on my phone. SO I dont know whats taking up this storage. I also deleted 1 contact and even that didnt change the icloud storage size. Thats why i posted the link above because if u google about the problem google says yes its an issue. I will keep reporting it on the feedback page.
A contact stored in iCloud takes literally next to 'zero' storage space. Instead of guessing and messing with deleting individual stored contacts to reduce your iCloud storage, you should really try to check other things:
Go to iPhone Settings app > tap your account (first item on top) > tap iCloud, tap Storage (again first item). On this screen, you can see what exactly is taking up your space on iCloud. It's also the place where you can manage (and delete) each individual category that's being stored. So again, actually everything that is being stored is listed here, also data from individual apps. It's sorted by occupied space, so now it should be easy for you to see what's the problem.

Mine has been pretty good visually. 16 Pro Max. I have a little bit of lag but my battery has still not recovered. It has been pretty average since the first Dev Beta. I used to get about a day and a half. Now just lasting a day.
That's odd. My 15 Pro is running smoother with less heat and bugs than 18.7. Battery has been great too.
BTW iOS 26 is running pretty smooth so far on my 16 pro. Seen some minor bugs that I'm sure will be fixed soon, no show stoppers so far. Although minor, like other people I do wonder why some of these bugs slipped through all those betas. Battery life is very good now.
WatchOS 26 is okay on my Series 7, no laggy performance on most screens BUT in some screens with lot's of Liquid Glass buttons (like control panel) it's still noticeably slower. Battery life first day was crap (expected), but is now like it was ever before.
With macOS I normally wait at least until the x.2 release, due to my requirement for a stable development environment on the mac. I'll see what I do this year though. Apart from the big visual overhaul the actual underlying OS updates appear to be *very* minor this year. I kind of need some features in Xcode that apple sadly cripples on macOS 15 and only allows on 26.
Anyway, iOS 26 is alright to me but I do run into *a lot* of work fixing newly introduced problems with native app UI's when compiling with the new 26 SDK.

Apple even put a document out a few days ago basically saying exactly this. My 14PM was a bit sluggish and warm for a while after the update but it has settled down a lot over the last day. It's still going through a bit more battery than is normal but overall it seems fine.
Yea but I have messages in icloud turned off. Always have. I only have contacts and photos turned on. And I have 1 photo. So Im not sure whats taking up this much space. I have reported this many times to apple but they refused to fix it.
