Me too honestly. I really dislike what they did with the interface, the cursors, etc
And it’s just janky
Yes and they need to do an overhaul of their testing procedure. There’s clearly something fundamentally wrong with something in their process that bugs like that can get through unnoticed. And at the same time, people submit bug after bug report and it gets ignored
Why dont they just fix iOS 26? or... that will go against their planned obsolescence of iOS 26
So i take it iOS26 is about look & not function or performance?

iOS 9 for A5/A5X devices was more stable than iOS 8 which its coding for those devices can remind anyone of Windows Vista
. Heck the first developer beta for iOS 9 IIRC Was the most stable iOS beta back then ( when iOS Betas were notoriously laggy and slow back in the day)
idk what else I expected from the most bitter and pessimistic Apple forum on the Internet but yall bitching and moaning about this are hilarious. we been praying for Snow Leopard-type updates for years, probably upwards of a decade now. do the same thing with macOS and I’ll be jumping for joy. hope this rumor rings true!
Focusing on quality is always a win-win for everyone. on for AI? Yikes...no one has clamoring for more AI features on their mobile phones. And no one wants anything like Microsoft Copilot, no one wants an OS infested with overt in-your-face-AI without anywhere to run or hide from. AI is not anywhere near ready for Prime Time. One day, absolutely, but it's not ready today.
What yearly approach, though? Yes, they have a big conference in June where they reveal the major features expected over the next year, but that is just a public agenda. There is a release in the fall with many of those features, but other features release over the course of of the year, as they are ready. What would you have them change? Do you want to go back to one single feature release followed by a series of only bug releases? Or just stop adding any features or significant changes? I don’t think either of those approaches would make people happy.
The irony is the'll do a "quality improvements" cycle as if liquid gas was a good baseline for it.
They can improve the quality immediately by removing Liquid Glass
Translation: we are overhauling the underpinnings of iOS to make it easier to manage for AI data scraping purposes.
I don't see why they have to drop innovations and improvements to focus on quality and stability of existing features. Do both. You're Apple. You can hire enough people.
Two thoughts:
1. Skipping 26 and waiting for iOS/ iPadOS/ macOS 27 will save the time wasted dealing with 26. A very smart choice.
2. Suddenly GrapheneOS is looking compelling.
From the perspective of a decades long Apple customer, it is rather mind boggling to witness the Cupertino company make the choices they’re making and failing to apply the full force of their engineering and development expertise to deliver a bug free finished product.
