Well there will always be a first. This time it is the first time I not only dislike, but outright despise an OS update. Well done, Apple.

At the moment Reddit is full of techy people who want to turn it off again (and no, reduce transparency doesn’t solve the weird bubble borders around everything).

Wait until the general public finds out about this. It is going to turn the “install the latest updates to be safe online” to “do NOT install the new iOS otherwise your phone will look and feel like shit”.

Calling it right now: The next few months will be full of tales from people who have their friends and family ask them for advice after they had accidentally installed iOS 26 and now can’t get rid of it anymore.

But hey, at least nobody will talk about how shitty Siri and Apple Intelligence is anymore, right?
