I don’t have it and I heard from others that it sucks. I tried it at the demo and I think it’s very useful. I wish my ex-father listened and got the 15 (and some other important features).
Got a tip for us?

It is definitely useful. One of my favourite features along with the always-on display.
I heard everyone hates “always on” due to battery drain and they turn it off. Why do you like it?
I like being able to see my wallpaper, if I have notifications, and live activities like grab car and football scores. Also I travel a fair amount so flighty's live activity is useful when travelling. And it'll be even more useful now that I don't have to "wake" my phone.
What's the point of having a great wallpaper but only being able to see it when you're unlocking your phone to use it.
According to this it only used 2% yesterday:
I just upgraded from the 13 Pro to the iPhone Air so I'm probably enjoying these new features a lot more than people who've had them already. 😁
Okay. I have iPhone 13 and 14 and iOS 26 has been a big battery drain. Just wondering. Thanks.According to this it only used 2% yesterday:

No problem! And yeah, a couple year's worth of software updates will do that 🥲
Would love to hear your thoughts on all these features whenever you upgrade your devices 😎
