Coming frorn 26.0.1 this update feels much better on my Air! It’s flying, apps & content loading faster and generally more fluid.

Installed!
One of the latest update releases since a while if I’m right.

iOS 26.0.1 almost feels unpolished now that we have 26.1

26.1 is the kind of update we should have expected in September...

If it was fixed and working in recent history, how am I to know it’s (once again) broken and no longer usable? Should I blame MacRumors for that one?
If you know-it-alls were aware of the current state of the software, maybe you should’ve said something.
Unfortunately once again I am being used as the test guinea pig without any prior warning.

Wow, everyone on here HAS said so for a long, long, time and over several versions of iOS and its betas. AND the thousand reviews on the MS store (below) should you give you a hint as well. (go read them) So 1000% on you for keeping to use it, not the "know-it-alls" here that have only attempted to help you over and over and over. Unbelievable

After only ~12 hours, I agree.

This one took much longer than usual to download and install, but my iPhone Pro 16 stayed room temperature during the installation process. That's not a complaint, but both were different than most .X updates I remember.

My iPad Air 5 (M1) icon vanishing bug when minimising the apps is still not resolved. A pity! Will try reinstalling with IPSW tomorrow, just for the fun of it. 😋

still getting the brightness bug - its always 50/50 when I raise to wake/tap the screen as to whether the screen will come on really dimmed or normal.

i've had the opposite issue previously. sometimes i'd turn the screen on and it would be at 100% brightness. adjusting the slider in control centre wouldn't do anything. i had to turn the screen off and on again.

since 26.1 the issue has gone.

Wait, Windows? Of course it's terrible, even iCloud is a disaster on that platform.

Use Apple Configurator on a Mac, or just do OTA like everyone else not managing multiple devices.
