Reason why you have not updated to i(Pad)OS 26?

I dont think it’s that fair to compare a 0.2 update to an OS thats had a whole year of refinement. I havent noticed any mission critical issues on 26 (definitely no more than 18) my older devices to feel a bit choppy but chalking that up to optimisation rather than the OS itself so hope it will get better.

I have recently started using windows at work and my god, what a mess. I know MacOS, iOS etc are not perfect but they are a damn sight better than whatever Microsoft are shipping… so I’m thankful that I’m only seeing minor bugs from Apple

I rarely update at all. I was on iOS 13 until late 2022, only then updated to 15. Now on iOS 17 and I believe my old 11 Pro won’t work good on 18 or 26, as well as I don’t like these OS versions at all. Same on Mac, currently on Sonoma because it doesn’t lag, updated from Monterey.

My only way is to upgrade my phone to 17 Pro, but I was very underwhelmed when I saw the actual phone and that it basically doesn’t have much to offer for needs. Updating just for the new OS?? How dumb is that. A phone is a phone, a boring ugly large slate that makes calls and takes ugly computational fake photos, that’s it. My current iPhone does just that, why change anything?

If phone dies or I get really tired from iOS 17 or if it no longer opens websites I need, will probably upgrade… to Android. Sick and tired of this digital prison and lack of features, at least there are cheaper options that will make calls and photos just… same or even better? I guess
