Anyone else just hate it? I swear it’s like it’s designed for a 13 year old girl.

It’s draining my battery like crazy. I used to only have to charge my phone once a day when I came home from work. But ever since I downloaded it, my battery is 20% when I get off and before it would be 40%. I have an iPhone 16 PM.

Same. I just upgraded from an iPhone 13 to a 16 because of the battery and now it’s draining. I’m also noticing that it’s taking forever to charge.

It's temporary. It has to do that to reindex for every major upgrade. Soon as it's finished battery life will go back to normal.

And if you don't like the new look, here's how to turn it off:

quote:

Open Settings on your iPhone.
Tap Accessibility.
Select Display & Text Size.
Toggle on Reduce Transparency.
settings

This setting adds darker backgrounds to translucent areas like Control Center, app icons, and app folders, so you should see increased contrast between elements throughout the system.


Note that Reduce Transparency doesn't completely eliminate all translucent elements or change button shapes – it simply makes translucent areas more opaque while maintaining the overall iOS 26 aesthetic.

Add Reduce Transparency to Control Center

For quick access to this setting, you can add it to your Accessibility Shortcuts to get to it from the Control Center interface:

Go to Settings ? Accessibility.
Scroll down and tap Accessibility Shortcut.
Select Reduce Transparency in the list.
Additional Contrast Options

If you're still having legibility issues after enabling Reduce Transparency, return to Settings ? Accessibility ? Display & Text Size, then toggle on Increase Contrast. Note that enabling both Reduce Transparency and Increase Contrast will cause icons to lose most of their translucency.

The Liquid Glass design is still in beta, so Apple will likely continue refining the visual effects based on feedback. A wider official rollout of iOS 26 is expected sometime in September.

The only one in my house bitching about it is my 13 yo daughter.

You sound like a bitch.

I like it. A little glitchy but sure that will be resolved next week with 26.1

Whats the real name? iOS 26 fruitloop?

Just looked up the codename was Luck or Apple's internal codename for iOS 26 is "Solarium", evoking light and clarity. If leaks are accurate, iOS 26 will look and feel lighter, brighter, and more fluid,

It was total garbage when it first rolled out, it's better now. iOS 26 is fine. Like I said on the tech board, CarPlay seems more responsive, and the visual changes are a non issue. I just don't care enough to be upset.

What about the camera app? I was watching a youtube video and switching between photo and video now seems to be very confusing.

When my current iPhone dies, Im getting an Android. I used a Mac on my desktop years ago too, but Apple has basically priced me out of their product line. My oldest son was a big Apple homer, and he's going to switch too. The hassles about the software are just the cherry on top. I just wish someone would make a truly worthy iTunes competitor for the PC.
