Should you upgrade to iOS 26? Some iPhones owners are already regretting it – here’s why

• Apple has launched iOS 26 on its range of iPhones
• Not everyone is happy with the changes iOS 26 brings
• Luckily, you don’t have to update your iPhone just yet

The wait is over as iOS 26 is now officially available, with its Liquid Glass redesign and fistfuls of other changes. It’s probably the most significant iOS update in many years, and the difference is night and day compared to iOS 18.

But while Apple might be celebrating, not everyone who has installed iOS 26 is happy with the new look and feel. In fact, there have been plenty of complaints from Apple users about what has happened to their devices.

Notably, even Apple has chimed in on the topic, issuing a warning that upgrading to a new version of the operating system can negatively impact your device’s battery life and performance.
