alt Hacker NewsI think it’s fine to be mad about it, I have some qualms. I just think it’s not worth skipping an upgrade.

It’s not like we’re hearing people who stay on older versions falling for malware left and right. The general risk seems to be very low.

It’s not worth skipping an upgrade, it’s just misleading to describe iOS 26 as an upgrade. My iPhone 16 pro can’t manage a stable frame rate on the Home Screen anymore. And nearly every screen has a bug.
What new features?
And I think everyone agrees that it is your choice to install IOS 26 on your phone.
Personally I will skip IOS 26 and stay on IOS 18 and maybe upgrade to IOS 27 when it comes out next year (if by then all the bad UI decisions have been reversed).
I had a play around with a friend's phone who was updated to IOS 26 and honestly It just doesnt work for me in it's current state.
