    iOS 26.5 “Pride” Luminance Wallpaper Collection Not Installing

    I downloaded the newly released "Pride" Luminance wallpapers collection from Apple for iOS 26.5. It's showing a ✔️ mark on the "Add New Wallpaper" page, but I can't see the actual wallpapers. I downloaded iOS 26.5 just for these wallpapers, even though I read it has battery life issues! Also...

    (Almost) A Year With iOS 26

    As we await the first iOS 27 developer beta I thought it might be fun to have a place to reflect on the last (approximate) year with iOS 26. Overall, how has your experience been with Liquid Glass as a user and/or developer? Any outstanding gripes or specific changes you'd like to see come 27...

    News app giving double notifications with 26.5

    Anyone else getting duplicate notifications from the Apple News app? This started with the second to last public beta of 26.5 and exists still for me with the RC. It's not for double articles and when you view in the notification center there is just the one. I'm just seeing it animate in, stay...

    Is iOS 26 required for the iPhone 17?

    I know it’s irreversible, but is there any way? Like many of my friends, I’m now considering switching from the iPhone to another phone because of iOS 26. Should we just hope that they’ll drop this (LG, iOS26) in future OS updates? Or should we wait another 15 years?

    Persistent notification for not using iCloud

    Since “upgrading” to iOS 26, I have a persistent phantom notification in Settings. It’s displayed on the Settings icon, but not inside the settings app. I’ve have made a clean install of iOS 26.4 and it still happens after I sign into the App Store. I don’t use iCloud and in iOS 18 I could just...

    Today I witnessed someone trying to switch to Android because of iOS 26 and its problems!

    I knew this was happening and could happen, but I witnessed it for the first time. I'm afraid Apple is still defending what it's doing.

    Looking to Get Involved In JB Development (iOS 18 and 26)

    Hey all, I'm posting because I used to be involved in the jailbreaking scene quite a lot back in the golden days (iOS 2 - 7 era), and have dabbled with jailbreaking iOS 9, but I dropped off for a while. The most recent thing I have done in terms of jailbreak/exploit development was creating a...

    Even With a New UI Head, Liquid Glass is Here to Stay

    There seems to be this belief floating around that with the departure of Alan Dye, Liquid Glass is going to be abandoned or significantly stripped back with OS ‘27. But not so fast… From Gurman’s newsletter this morning: “Q: Do you think Apple’s design team shake-up will lead to user interface...

    Lags since iOS26

    Is this normal? While screen recording, I noticed lags when swiping down the control center. Also lagging when I want to send a video with Whatsapp and before sending using the control center. In general, the phone feels much slower and here and there lags.

    Watch Series 6 vs iOS 27

    Hi all, Does anyone know if Apple Watch Series 6 will be compatible with the upcoming iOS 27? Also, can I still use an Apple Watch Series 5 with an iPhone that's already updated to iOS 26? Appreciate any insights or experiences! Thanks.

    iOS 26.1 phone haptics no longer works

    In iOS 26.0 and 26.0.1, I would get haptics for phone calls whenever a call is connected or dropped. I loved this feature. Now with iOS 26.1, that is not working for me. I see that a toggle was added in 26.1 and it has been enabled. I've toggled it off and on and it still does not work. I've...

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

    Hi everyone, I’m curious to know if there are other Apple enthusiasts like me who haven’t yet updated to the latest and greatest that Apple has to offer. Why is that? For me, it’s because I’ve noticed a significant performance drop in my M1 iPad with the latest update. It feels much slower and...
