I wish iOS wouldn't manipulate the Settings list seconds after it's been open.

Apart from the Local Capture issue above, in the main list if you scroll quickly down in order to click "Apps", there's a good chance that just as you click on it, it shifts down so that "Wallet & Apple Pay" can be inserted.

Why does the Settings list have to be created on the fly and so slowly? /rhetorical

If you have AirPods, this is a common annoyance as well. You’ll be press General, and it shifts.

Here’s a list of glitches I’ve found in the RC. Some were previously fixed and came back.

1. In the music app, if you scroll to the top of the screen and pull down to show the search field, the text at the top will glitch through the search box as you pull downward.

2. Edge highlights on the dock/App Library still get stuck if you open an app before letting it reset. Only way to reset it again is by forcing it to animate again by moving your phone around and then waiting a few seconds for it to reset to default look. This was fixed in 26.1 beta 3 and came back.

3. Closing a widget on the Home Screen will cause it to go blurry for a second before it becomes sharp again. This doesn’t seem to happen on the widget screen but any widget that is on your Home Screen. This was fixed in 26.1 Beta 4 and now it’s back.

4. The search screen in Apple Music where you can select Apple Music or Library still. The selection bubble still glitches out (on your SECOND search). Very weird big.

5. Scrolling to the bottom of your photo library, a slightly darker box appears behind the magnifying glass on the search icon for a second when the icon becomes large.

6. In the music app, when dismissing the now playing screen, the background goes completely white now before it changes to liquid glass. It’s quite distracting especially when the text is already white.

7. When selecting a playback device anywhere in the system, the clock, battery and cellular/wifi symbols turn black which makes them disappear on a dark background. Not sure if this is intentional.

8. In music, when swiping back to the main screen, the “back arrow button” leaves behind a black circle for a second. This is inconsistent with the rest of the system.

I really wish they would add a toggle to disable the animated edge highlights on everything without disabling all animations. Similar to low power mode but without capping the refresh rate to 60Hz.

Man I’m really getting tired of how insanely buggy the new interface is.

The new menu pop out animation is sick though.

Make you wonder if some the reversions were intentional. Maybe the fix was causing the huge performance issues in the last beta that fixed it.

Apple Music crashed hard while swiping to queue a song during CarPlay. It seems to have temporarily wiped out the app. I had to restart my phone to get it to stay open again, the app had no music library when it opened, and now it’s syncing my entire library back. My downloads remained though.
 
26.1 (which I wanted nothing to do with) was actually surprisingly stable for me and only crashed earlier on friday morning several hours prior to me updating to 26.2. Granted, I think my iPhone should not be crashing at all, but the bar is so low for stability at this point that I was happy it ran for about a month without issue. I expect and hope that 26.2 can follow in its footsteps.

I hope next year they will release a family of operating systems where their biggest success is removing >50% of the code:
- deprecate AppKit
- all first-party apps on SwiftUI
- Intel support removal
- large legacy-code hunt and removal
- focus on system overhead, optimize!
- huge user reported bug squash initiative

If Macrumors is to believed, the Intel support may still be needed!

iTunes, which you want nothing to do with is also stable.
OTA , which you want nothing to do with is stable.
Apple Devices, which is totally unstable, and an iOS update that never officially existed is what you DO want.

Seeing a pattern here........... Are you trolling Apple users. Something is off here.

Just to be clear, "Brick your phone" means that it's unusable and has to be brought to an Apple Store for repair because DFU mode doesn't get it going again. And although I'd agree with you regarding the state of Apple's apps on Windows, TBF, that's also a pretty good indication of where Windows itself is as an OS. I guarantee that the number of people that rely on those apps on Windows are few and far between compared to the ones that use macOS, and then even compared to the folks that do this OTA (which is Apple's preferred method to update).

Seriously, though, if you for whatever reason you may have, can ONLY use a Windows PC to perform an update on your iPhone, and you're having issues, I bet a lot of people could benefit from the feedback you'd be able to provide to Apple.

Posting here about these same issues you seem to have all the time obviously gets nowhere fast.

Exactly. It's clear that OTA updates would be way easier for this person, yet they insist on banging their head against the wall and asking us how to make it hurt less.

I am also a Windows user and I can tell you 1: iTunes still exists and is available for download. 2: you don't have to use the new suite of broken apps, and 3: iTunes works just fine, as does OTA. Its not a Windows issue, its a user issue at this point. Choosing the ONLY option that is broken is intentional.

Why are we bringing it back to Apple Devices which had nothing to do with that comment whatsoever? Hasn’t that discussion played out to its logical conclusion at this point?

I’ve already addressed your (very incorrect) points several times so I will decline to do so again. There’s really no need to bring it up again until it’s time for another iOS update.

That we do agree on, no need to discuss this anymore. I do challenge you to point out what I am "very incorrect" about though. I have been 100% correct on everything that's been discussed.

“iTunes, which you want nothing to do with” wrong, stop right there - I have nothing against iTunes, however I have already migrated to the new Apple apps. I’ve expressed interest in a regression without data loss however this has never been successfully demonstrated when I’ve asked about it.

“OTA , which you want nothing to do with is stable” wrong, stop right there - someone in this very thread posted of an OTA update gone very wrong. It is also the long standing consensus of the community that an OTA update is a lesser process than an IPSW update. Next!


“Apple Devices, which is totally unstable” it doesn’t function but I haven’t had it completely crash before to my recollection, at least not in the same way I’ve seen many very unstable builds of iOS completely crash

“and an iOS update that never officially existed” - it did exist and there were numerous articles about it being tested posted right here on MacRumors, they have the data. They canceled it and replaced its release with a much inferior version


“is what you DO want.” Wrong, it’s what I DID want. I don’t care about it anymore, 26.2 is here. At the time I did want it
