Hey, some people (like Max Weinbach) say this 26.1 update addresses the big battery drain that previous releases had. Have you noticed much less battery drain with this version?
Got a tip for us?

It's also fun to use those screenshots as wallpapers.
Nah, people are eager to update regardless.
Let’s see what iOS and iPadOS 26’d adoption rate is, but people update anything and everything.
They destroy their own devices and then they complain. Classic.
How did you get rid of the outlines from around the folder icons ? Mine has crappy looking outlines still.

For me it’s quite obvious, not exactly micro stutters. I do agree with you on the option for swipe to open camera, though. I mainly updated because of that and hopefully better battery.
Yes, it’s present on my 16PM, but I only noticed it because you mentioned it. It’s very subtle. It’s not present on my 12PM, however.
Sad to see that third party apps are more optimized now than first party apps. Additionally, the lack of adaption of the new keyboard breaks immersion so badly. iOS has begun to feel like android, but android from some 7-8 years ago, when it was really crappy.
Yes. The battery on my Air is draining slower with this update.
yeah because the 12PM doesn't have 120hz display.
Funny they upgraded the normal

the normal 15 doesn’t have 120hz either. And it doesn’t seem like an issue related to the refresh rate. There’s a noticeable lag in random parts of the OS on 26.1, which is present on both of my phones - 16PM & 12PM. If anything, the stutters look bad on the 12PM due to the lack of 120hz. The only exception being the camera.
Assistive Touch is still malfunctioning. They haven't been able to fix what they broke since July. The worst part is that I've noticed it has the same problem on iPadOS. I don't understand how they can take so many months to fix something they know is broken. I've submitted the same report three times already, and they always say there are more than ten similar reports, but they don't fix it.
It’s actually way more noticeable on 60hz, especially the stutter between the widgets page and the home page.
It's "pretty" in the way 2000s Pontiac Grand Am was "pretty". To me, it doesn't scream "high end product" as much as "I'm the hottest guy in my trailer park".
It's showing for me as enabled not greyed out on Verizon. 17 Pro in Texas
LOL, I vaguely noticed it only because of this video, and even then, I had to run it at 0.5x speed to see it clearly.
Yes, there's a barely noticeable cross-fading transition (or ghosting as you want to call it). No idea how that looked before and absolutely no idea why people make a big fuss about it.
Glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks this. I was genuinely beginning to think I was on my Jack Jones thinking the interface is just so outdated, and this so-called redesign (liquid glass) is nothing more than applying lipstick to a pig.
Huh… so now there’s a slight bit of transparency on the App Library screen when opening a folder? You can also see all those background icons awkwardly shift downward upon opening the folder. Pretty ugly. This is new in 26.1, which is even more buggy and glitchy than 26.0 and 26.0.1 for me.
Ha. I just saw the Control Center ghosting bug and now I can’t unsee that!
I'm not hopeful the redrawing of icons will ever be resolved for those of us affected. Seems to be a small number of folks. I will never reset my layout and start over as someone posted resolved the issue. That's a crap solution and for someone that has hundreds of apps installed, not feasible.
