    Thanks for the video, but this iOS26 is pretty boring…. Nothing very impressive. And the liquid glass for me is like a bad joke from Apple. If Nothing phone would be better i would change for them this year. Apple are lucky to have something that still hold up, but i am less and less happy with them in the last 5 years. They have to do something because i feel like older Apple user (25 years on my side) are now fed up from them. Too much bug, crappy interface and less inovation through the years.

    This is what happens when 300000$ a year designers don’t know what to do and need to justify their salary : “let’s make everything liquid”
    Instead of removing that “magic island” hole in the screen or make so that you can use your phone without having to Swipe from the bottom every f*** time

    iOS 26 dev beta is buggy and has terrible battery life right now. The new Liquid Glass look is not something I personally like or want. I wish there was an option to disable the transparent glass look. I do however like the various quality of life changes they made such as the battery settings giving you an estimate on how long until 80 percent and fully charged. Or the snooze time being adjustable. Also being able to set any MP3 on your device as a ringtone is a great addition.
