Overview
- Users report that the Liquid Glass redesign hurts readability and that new icon tinting makes apps harder to identify, despite tweaks like adjustable blur.
- Reworked menus are drawing criticism for adding steps to simple tasks, including cycling camera aspect ratios and exposing copy/paste options behind extra taps in Safari.
- Typing reliability is a persistent complaint, with reports of random word insertions and unwelcome autocorrections on iOS 26.
- Battery drain after updating is a common gripe; Apple’s adaptive power mode can help but is limited to iPhone 15 Pro models and newer.
- An Apple Intelligence upgrade to Siri is expected later in the spring, with reports indicating Google’s Gemini could power new capabilities in an iOS 26.4 release.
