Yeah, updating apps is now an extra click.

There’s a faster way… Long press App Store icon > Updates.
It’s in Beta and to be rolled out in the future properly (from what I’ve seen on here.)

"Concerts Near Me" is really cool. I like it. Of course the keyboard fix is wonderful (and much needed) too. Looking forward to iOS 27!
Welp... thought that would be cool, and works if I go to the actual App Store icon on a home screen if I have it there, but I use the APPLE MADE Siri Suggestions widget to show the 8 most used apps.. and why am I not surprised that long press does NOT work there.
Starting to really agree with those often saying, 'does Apple not use their own software'? sheesh.
And just now, I open the App Store app; my Apple icon in upper right shows a red 4, I go to the Apple Account page and under updates shows a red 4, same once I go to the updates page where it lists 4 apps with updates available. OK. but wait, there's more. If I pull down to refresh.. now I have 24 updates available. 🤯

This one I can explain.
The 4 that it showed were auto updates ready to install when you aren’t using the device and it’s charging.
The 24 it showed once you refreshed are apps that the developer had recently updated but haven’t made it to your region to auto update. Apple does this to stagger their server loads. They allow you to force update early but most people don’t.

Oh please. This is a public forum where people are allowed to share what they like and don’t like about Apple’s product releases. Nobody needs to be told how easy it is to ditch their lifelong investment in Apple’s ecosystem.
at least “reduce bright effects” dials back the Liquid Glass insanity by about 2%.
Only 98% to go.

At first it was very laggy......it was terrible and then by tonight it was fine. I also thought there was a iphone storage bug because my storage bloated from 22.17 to 23.37 then every three hours id check and it was to 23.47 but tonight it went down a lot so its ok
Just give me auto-scrolling lyrics for my own offline music with embedded ttml / lrc lyrics, I don't care about anything else.

The new full-screen artwork in Apple Music is awful. Phone is in dark mode, and I’m in bed being blinded by this. I guess we’re not supposed to listen to light-colored albums after dark.

Manually setting these locations should be an option, or at least suggestions of Home/Work from those set in Maps and Contacts (your card).
I see it. But how do you narrow it down to artists you follow bought from? Isn’t that what it’s supposed to do? I see randos I don’t care about.

Something to look forward to… the verification, that is. I’m surprised MR hasn’t at least posted a PSA if you’re correct.

Just be wary. All the new updates try to sneakingly switch you into turning on Automatic Updates in the future. If you're not paying attention it defaults to on.
...and no, Liquid Glass hasn't been turned off nor is a 26.x update going to bring in 10bn new 'innovations'
