The drop shadows in Safari just suck. They are so distracting and ugly. The drop shadows filtered throughout the OS (and MacOS) just look so bad and unnecessary. Why, Apple. Why.
I don't think it looks bad per se, but I don't like it because it effectively reduces usable screen real estate.

is it me or iOS 26 better too iPhone 16 Pro Max battery drain really fast cannot tough an all day without plugging. I used to have a nice battery in iOS 18 and now is garbage.
 
What did you expect of a beta ???
It’s totally normal that your iPhone 16 PM drains faster with iOS 26 beta 2 !
So many issues with this beta on 16 PM's that I'm glad I am a peasant with a 12. The 12 seems perfectly fine but many are having issues with 16 PM's. I guess I'll wait for official release before I consider upgrading.

New visual effects plus it’s an early beta…
Let’s complain when it’s like this in a very late beta or the final. Until then, it doesn’t make sense.

TLDR;
Did they remove "Silence Unknown Caller" from the Phone App? I see Call Screening and Move to Unknown Caller, but Silence Unknown Caller is nowhere to be found.
Isn't "Move to Unknown Callers" essentially the same? (It says they will be silenced and moved to the Unknown Callers list.) Now you just have the choice to screen them. If you turn off "Screen" and turn on "Move," I think the outcome will be the same as the previous "Silence."

For me it's both. It's ugly and reduces usable vertical space. Any website with a persistent top bar will have half of it blurred because of that choice some designer made. They need to reduce the "height" of the shadow.

It's a baffling decision. The drop shadow/blur is everywhere in Apple's apps. The effect looks even worse in MacOS. It looks cheap and ugly. It's so unnecessary as well.

Yep, these are the early days of glassmorphism for you. 😉 We can indeed be surprised that Apple have not done better yet, but to get a better idea of what they are [probably] moving towards, see this post:

Anyone else noticed a drastic drop in battery life for AWU? I thought it was the always on but I’m still only getting a little over a day on mine even after turning it off
Nothing different for me so far - but I still have an Ultra 1, so battery life is not the same already for a time…
 
A bug present since beta 1 (iPadOS).

Not sure if this bug is apparent for anyone else but in the watch app I can’t appear to change which card I have designated for express transit
 
The animation on the bottom lmao. Also the map doesn’t show the content, even if it’s loaded in the Maps app.
