I’ve mentioned this before but there are issues going back to iTunes once you’ve “upgraded” to the new suite of Windows programs. So it’s not so simple, especially if you also use Apple TV / Apple Music. Am I supposed to nuke my entire Windows installation now too?

Yes but is this already AFTER you’ve migrated all data to the new programs? What was your procedure to migrating everything back?
 
when I swipe between the camera and some app the brightness pulses like this look at the second video. The first video it's pulses after reels or stories or hdr content. look at the bottom of the screen iph 16pm ios 26.1 RC i'm really worrying about it/ HEEELLP is it normal or not?



 
It’s ever so slightly more refined from 26.0.1 after two days of use now. Still a long way to go though.

Battery life seems to be *slightly* better.

Jumped in with 26.1RC (iPhone 15 Pro) Gave it a few reboots after install. Phone has cooled down. Liking it so far. Battery performance I’ll wait a good few days to judge. Smooth and no glitches so far 😎

My 17 Pro Max doesn’t do it and I tried with Night Shift and True Tone on. I have them both off by default.

На моём Pro Max 17 этого не происходит, и я пробовал с включёнными Night Shift и True Tone. По умолчанию они оба отключены.

What it can be? i'm really worrying
 
Try ... turn true tone and night shift off. Hard reboot (you know, vol+ vol- hold power). Then turn true tone and night shift back on (if you want them on!) and do another hard reboot.

If still not working, you could try turning them both off (if not already off) and reinstalling the RC using the IPSW method. And if that doesn't fix it, I'd suspect hardware.

I'm not sure how useful this is, but harmless to try:

I don't get the hand wringing over OTA vs ISPW. My install is solid, and I have none of the issues that y'all are reporting with 26.1 RC. And I could not tell you the last time I did an IPSW install - I'd guess it was back when it was the only way to install an iOS update.

I tried it. But it still going on. I haven't seen this before. After reels or stories or hdr content it's doing the same/ idk. Maybe someone have the same issue there?

Попробуй... отключить True Tone и Night Shift. Перезагрузи аппаратно (ну, знаешь, громкость +, громкость -, удержание питания). Затем снова включи True Tone и Night Shift (если хочешь!) и ещё раз перегрузи аппаратно.

Если проблема не исчезнет, попробуйте отключить оба (если ещё не отключены) и переустановить пульт дистанционного управления с помощью IPSW. Если это не поможет, я бы предположил, что проблема в оборудовании.

Я не уверен, насколько это полезно, но попробовать безвредно:

Not sure how you all are getting glitches or stuttering issues. I’m on an iPhone 17 Pro Max updated over the air, and everything’s running smooth. The UI is fluid, no lags or glitches, and battery life’s noticeably better compared to Beta 4.

You can literally see the control center ghosting.

Do you also have the same issue under constant natural daylight?
Maybe the iPhone reacts to a pulsating light source? 🤔
 
Now this is just hilarious:
