iOS 26 was released last month, but the software train never stops, and iOS 26.1 beta testing is already underway. So far, iOS 26.1 makes both Apple...
But, will they fix all the ridiculous fricking bugs?!?? Because this feels like I installed an early Beta of iOS 26… I’ve never had to reboot my iPhone daily in my life before. I’ve never had iMessages, or Safari crash or freeze or lockout like this before, ever.
And the inconsistencies of the new interface… what is this, Windows 11? Have I installed the wrong OS by mistake?
Since when do I have to fight with my phone’s interface to get the mere basic tasks done?!?
Seriously Apple, you’ve shit the bed biiiig time with this one.
I wanna go back. I want my iOS 17 back. With the squircles and the functional UI and all.
Honestly, they’ve shit the bed for a long time. Remember when iOS was the bastion of bug free and tested software? They used to test the shit out of it and when it did ship, it was basically perfect. But somewhere along the track, they lost that. Now they just ship whatever is done when it’s due for a release.
This is the kind of release that as a software developer if I worked there, I’d feel really embarrassed by it.
