Ok Apple took notice and will change it asap for you. Any more feature requests?
No more camera bump, flat backside? Ok working on it.
I’ve noticed Apple tends to ignore reports of widespread issues that don’t involve the devices crashing constantly until they have identified what the problem is and have a potential fix. Only then will they acknowledge it exists as a problem.
Sure.
How about...no deliberate throttling of older devices, or denial of the right to return to an OS that was matched to the capabilities of an iPhone that was running perfectly.
Say, for example, an IPhone 13 Pro that was working with optimal battery health and performance on say, iOS 18, but when a user accidentally allows an update to say, iOS 26, the performance instantly becomes mediocre to poor since the device isn't designed for the newer OS, and the user is inexplicably disallowed from simply restoring the "right" OS for the device.
Too much to ask for a thousand dollar device that one has only had for a couple of years that suddenly is needlessly
handicapped. I guess that's the confiscatory greed that builds trillion dollar corporations and that's all that matters.
Try deleting some of your Safari extensions maybe, or at least turning them off. Might be an issue with one of them perhaps.
A friend is using a 13 mini with 26.0 (not sure if already updated to 26.1). Battery is below 80%… and there it doesn’t work bad in any way.
Well said. For me and my iPhone 12 Pro I wish that I could revert back to iOS 18. iOS 26 just has too many issues and poor battery performance. I'm so glad that I did not update my wife's phone to iOS 26 or else I would be in real trouble!
Yep, and any company whose customers have always had to experience this sort of consistent and deliberate sabotage and then, denies that it is an intentional act - deserves the utmost contempt. Pure greed.
„I negate your first hand experience because of a second hand experience“
…
Yeah even negating another’s firsthand experience because of one’s own experience is silly and point-blank doesn’t make sense. We all have different use cases, configurations, devices, albeit with much potential overlap.
That’s why I try to be more, “Huh, I’m not seeing that issue over here” or whatever, you know, like polite and not dismissing them outright. As unsarcastically and as genuinely as possible. Because all use cases matter and I want to see Apple’s platforms improve for everyone, not just for me.
Possible… of course it’s possible. Developing an option to set the intensity must have been one of the first things they did internally to test it around the system once they got the physics down.
They simply refused to enable it at this point.
Not against Liquid Glass, I actually like the jingly effects, but iOS 26 (beta or not) has completely crippled my iPhone 13. The performance is poor, black background, stuttering on the home screen, and a flickering interface that can’t seem to decide between white or black depending on the content behind it. Apps like Sky Guide, which were already demanding, are now especially slow because of the new glass...
The phone was still in great shape on iOS 18. Totally usable without all these hiccups. Now the bad performance keeps catching my attention, even during simple things like changing songs in Apple Music when I just want to move on with my day.
I don’t find it acceptable. It's jarring and quite sad.

Not having this problem.
Do you have increased contrast or running on an older device?
Is Music.app lyric translation working for anyone? I have never had it work up through 26.2b1 for almost all my tracks, with one or two exceptions, which I believe had English translation under it in iOS 18.
I never have it for French, Spanish, etc. I’d love it for Hindi and others Asian or Middle Eastern languages, but they’re likely not core languages. I expect French, Spanish and Italian to work.
Some of these are popular songs.
EDIT: I am doing report a problem, translation not available, for every song.

This week just started!!! ;-)Can I be the first to complain that there is no beta 2 this week?
Wonder if they are still trying to fix the issue they had with the Apple modems from last week before releasing another build.Can I be the first to complain that there is no beta 2 this week?
I fear that these hits in performance aren’t even just a pain for the time being, but will remain for like, ever. At least for older units. Which seems like the 14 Series and older.
I don’t think that Apple can fundamentally rework LG in a way that makes it as efficient as no or little liquid glass effect.
It’s so uncalled for. Apple really tried to support devices for a long time with acceptable updates for a couple generations now, but they lost all their reputation with this release IMO.
My SE3 is going like a train. i reckon the 16 and 17 are having the most problems.
I have a wide screen and it defiantly looks better when enabled. I dont gain a row, but it just looks better. The icons are significantly sharper. I think it's purely an aesthetics option.
But then you would have to share the jackpot with 292 million other winners. Your share of the jackpot would be $1 or less.
