I have gone through the update process of transferring from an iPhone 14 PM to a new 17 PM. Starting with iOS 26, 26.0.1, and even trying 26.1 beta 4, I am having issues with the icons on the home screen rewriting.
More importantly, I can not move any icon which is on the home screen!
I can hard-press any icon until it wiggles or the menu pops up and select the edit home screen, but then the icon either:
1. Does nothing (can not move it).
2. Disappears for 10-20 seconds!
3. Other random icons start to disappear while holding down on the target icon, then after letting go of the icon, after another 10-20 seconds, all icons reappear!
But, I was never able to move the icon on the screen or into a folder of icons.
Within a folder, I am able to select an icon and move it, but after placing it and letting go, it sits frozen, off-center for approximately five (5) seconds, then centers and restarts wiggling!
I have searched, but have not found any similar incidents. Has anyone seen this?
This seems to be a software problem, and I hope Apple can fix it!
P.S. Another problem is the phone heating up during downloading.
