The notifications are horrible, I can't read them, it is too clear, you can barely read the text

It looks like Liquid Glass minus the GL

This is literally windows vista PTSD

I'll wait till next year by which time it will probably have been abandoned.
Apple are strange at the moment:
An ugly phone in ugly colours.
An ultra thin, expensive phone with a small customer base.
An OS which adds nothing but which makes the user experience considerably worse for millions of older users- and on the Mac too.
It's the first time in 15 years I actually feel like looking at what the competition is doing.

It's most interesting to watch how all these bloggers praise the operating system, and here we see the whole truth)

For sure man, that’s a weird Apple timing

Yea and it destroys the icloud storage. It has increased my icloud storage by trippling it for no reason. It did this on ios 18 too but fixed itself a little on its own over time. On ios 18 it would double the icloud storage for no reason. Im wondering if things are stuck on the apple server end and not being deleted once I manually delete things such as texts etc. I legit have nothing on my phone. 25 contacts, 1 pic and 0 texts. Apple is gonna be outta business soon if they keept this up. Might have to switch to andriod just to have storage. I remember I reported this issue on ios 18 on the feedback page and it wasnt addressed then.

One thing you're missing is the ability to select a different microphone source in phone calls. This is a big one for me, it lets me use my AirPods while riding my motorcycle and then use the boom mic from my Cardo helmet communicator for the input so I can take calls a little better while riding. Before it was either use some wired headphones through the Cardo helmet communicator and have crap audio quality or have good audio through the AirPods but no phone calls.

Listen, nobody likes change, but this is really ugly, harder to read and a less intuitive UI all told.

For anyone saying Android is better, no, this is much more like Android than ever before. Good design is something that Apple stood out for in the past. Currently..ugh.
