So I have to ask this, why am I struggling with the latest iPhone update? Please tell me it’s just not me!

I with you.  I have been annoyed a few times at changes with updates, but usually the updates are either nothing noticable or, rarely, helpful.  This is a completely different ballgame.  They have removed so many user controls and made changes that leave the customer zero options.  The more I use it the more amazed I am at how much has changed and for the worse.  I'm feeling like I will be moving to an Android.  

I think @12poundbass sabotaged your software update in advance of the big AFC East showdown. 

Don’t think that hasn’t crossed my mind @gim. I’m almost praying for a Patriot’s loss this weekend so he doesn’t pee all over my Cheerios on XMas morning! Cuz that mad moderator would do it! 😂

I haven’t noticed much difference besides the most app icons are different looking. What am I missing?

 

@gim we don’t call it Bills Mafia for nothing.

It’s a 15 so it’s not that old. My work phone is a 16 and it’s basically the same.

I started Android - never looked back. My Galaxy phones and Tablets have been rock-solid and dependable.

@Jigfishn10 @BigAngus752 what are you guys experiencing with the new update that you’re not liking? 

Just had a b**ch of a time dialing in the accessibility and display settings. 
 

I’m done here

Man, everyone I know that has switched claims they are glad they did.  But what are you going to say if you let your best girl get away?

I realize I'm an odd one out, but I have an iPhone SE.  No, it's not an antique.  Mine's only two years old.  I got it because the new SEs are designed for people like me.  They are shock resistant, water resistant, and come with Gorilla glass.  The problem I'm having is my screen is smaller than any other current iPhone.  When I'm trying to type a comment on FB I can no longer see what I'm typing until I post the comment.  Same with some of my text messages.  Most of my display settings have changed and I no longer have any choice in many of the settings.  They have removed a significant amount of control over how your phone looks and acts.  Even the timer!  They changed the stupid timer and I can no longer use it for my workouts like I have for years.  It's a ton of small things that they have taken over that I can't use or change to my liking.  There is a huge number of complaints so maybe they will fix some things, but otherwise I'm going to have to throw my sucker in the mud.  

I just don’t update haha

I was just about to post about this. So far I hate absolutely everything about iOS 26. Everything.

Yep it’s ridiculous.. every update seems to complicate “actions” more so than anything. I had to do it though because the prior update was apparently missing some code which made casting to a smart TV near impossible. That seems fixed now. Had to relearn how to edit and resize pictures also. Just a lot of normal everyday type things. No more updates for me..

I have a IPad and IPhone, it’s not that I’m brand loyal to apple, it’s just what I learned on. 
I just updated from a iPhone 7 to a 16, if that wasn’t hard enough. The new update, a few weeks after I got it, has the fonts and display all jacked up. 
 

IOS 26.2 is now available
