Anyone by any chance have issues with volume going up for your music when an AirPods notification comes in? I’ve had it for months on iOS 26. Wondering if I’m the only one. I’m on 26.2 and using the latest AirPods firmware released last week. I’ve been watching the threads but maybe I just missed people referencing that bug.
 
I find that iOS 26 certainly is peppered with many, many small UI glitches. The core functionality, for my daily uses, is very solid and stable at least.

The UI Design leadership seems to be changing at Apple though. I foresee things improving in the UI due to this. Might take until iOS 27 until we see appreciable updates and fixes though - it takes a long time to turn a ship as big as Apple, with multiple glitchy UI designs.

I’m happy that there’s light at the end of this, very long, tunnel.
I just wish they'd let us stay on iOS 18 this year. It sounds like there will be no 18.7.3 general release for iPhones that can't run 26, and they're trying to push people to upgrade to 26 for security reasons.

Like, can they acknowledge they made some wrong decisions and just let us stay put until iOS 27? I'm pretty much 100% happy with iOS 18 and 26 doesn't provide any upsides to upgrading, only downsides.
 
Yea none of my reports have been attended to. All bugs still present👍
Filing Feedback with Apple is sort of like tossing a shiny new quarter into a well and making a wish. You can always hope that your wish will come true, but most likely you just wasted $.25

FWIW, none of my filed reports even mention others are having the issue, yet I've discussed with a few people about multiple reports, gotten their Feedback IDs and added to mine.. I can only assume they just don't even look at whatever I file. And I always make a point to be VERY thorough, not just stuff like "Phone don't work" or something dumb..

It's like a black hole where nothing returns.
 
Luckily for me I got a couple replies from apple asking if the new build fixed the issue. Last time was with the Now Playing tab item in Music, which would have the wrong text color when minimising

For the iPhone 17 series it rolled back to 1.20.03 from 1.20.06 in the 26.2 release.
In modern software development, individual point releases 26.3 are often branches off a main tree, that will branch off for delevolpment and later merged back to the main repository.

The newer modem software was likely added to the 26.2 branch after 26.3 was split off and will likely be merged in at a later 26.3 beta build.

That’s how we also sometimes see bug reversions in an initial beta.
