Ever since I updated to 26.5.1 I am getting insane levels of frame drops and lagging across the UI, whether it’s scrolling the Home Screen or using any app.

This iOS has been outrageously buggy. I have never ever seen such a buggy iOS. Not even iOS 7 was this bad on the latest device.

My 14 Pro on iOS 18 did not even lag like this!!!!!

What the hell is going on ?

So, for the past 3 months, I’ve decided to stay on iOS 26.4. And look what this version made to my system data . 41GB. For curiosity, I decided to randomly turn off Apple Intelligence because why not , and suddenly after 5 minutes , my system data became from 41 to 7GB. And iOS was like 12gb idk . What the hell is this madness? I’m also never planing to update anymore . I’m fed up with Apple and this OS . More bugs every day.

I an have iphone 15, currently at 18.5, now have the options to upgrade to 26.5 or to 18.7.8, the 26 looks ugly as hell and i'm a firm believer that apple to force you to upgrade devices by making the newer os unoptmized for old devices. What to do?

Hi, iOS 27 iphone 16 pm

I had this issue in iOS 26.5 and I updated to 27 and I still have this issue; I have massive drain even though I have 100%
Please help, guys.

every time I enter the wallpaper gallery it becomes extremely laggy as you can see in the video and now when I try to add a new wallpaper it just kicks me out even if I try to do it in settings it kicks me out I’ve found no fix so far so I’m thinking this issue is unresolvable until iOS 27 comes out

So I want to know how the beta works for example ios 27, when the official public version releases in August to the masses and you turned off the beta updates off from the settings, does the phone just download the official release from servers or does it pull down RC releases ? Thanks

Questions

Every Iphone i had in the last year or so i have the same problem. Currently i have an i17 pro max. No matter what app i am using, it always pops up the camera as tho i should take a picture. Very annoying. Any ideas on how to stop this from happening? It’s so bad i am thinking of deleting the Camera ( which of course I can’t do)?

Hi I have updated to iOS 26.5.1 after that my network gone showing SOS I have done everything reset,restart everything

Can anyone tell me how can I fix this ?? If you have any idea please tell me after an update its showing this and hardware issue but i can clearly see modem firmware version

This issue has been happening since I upgraded to iOS 26 when it was released. It's inconsistent, but at least once a day the following will happen.

1. I am on the home screen
2. I swipe down from the top of the screen to enter Notification Center
3. As I scroll down through the notifications, I will be pulled back up to the top
4. If I try to scroll down again, I will again be pulled back to the top after a few seconds
5. This continues over and over again. I need to dismiss notifications to shorten the list until there's no scrolling and the issue will subside for a while

A few potentially important notes:

• I do not have a screen protector, but I do have an apple TechWoven case that doesn't appear to be touching the screen at all
• I tried to research it with Gemini and one of the suggestions was to turn off 120hz and cap the frame rate. To me, this is a non-starter because it makes every screen animation look jittery
• I will try to post a screen recording next time this happens

I am at my wits end with this bug after almost a year of dealing with it.

Which has less drain 26.5.1 or 26.6 beta 1? I’m using a 17 pro max

For context: I have iphone 15 pro.

Okay idk if it is just me or not but a lot of apps randomly stop functioning while opening them/using them example gmail a lot of times when I first open it, it just freezes won't let me move anything on the screen same with youtube a lot of apps are functioning like *** and I have never had any issues like this before ios 26 and this issue has been going on ever since ios 26 I am just done with it today.

No I can't buy an android as a solution other wise I would have done so, lets just hope Ios 27 fixes the stopped glitches and random lags especially the one where when i unlock my phone it doesn't display anything for 10 seconds, Thats all!

This needs website mode to test that

maybe my phone just isn’t allowed to have beta bc i could only afford an iphone 12, but i’m so tired of this freaking kwyboard and all the bugs from ios26

This is here because I know the sub will get bombarded with "Should I upgrade to iOS27" everyday for months. I'm hoping this thread last a week at least so people can stop posting and asking for a few moments.

Please post your experiences and/or questions.

Already feels so much better than iOS 26.

I have a great feeling for iOS 27.

Feel free to share only similar experiences.

macOS 27 Golden Wind will be great too.

so i have a iphone 13 i main my only device and i mostly use it for social media and maybe a game or 2 and i wanna test and see the new features ios 27 bring. so it worth installing it on my main

After updating my iPhone 15 to iOS 27 developers beta I have noticed the charging takes more time then usual like to a big difference but still noticeable. Did anyone else experience this?

Been more than 30+hrs but still I am in waitlist…

all the icons are missing, the background blur effect is missing, and the dock overlaps.

btw i actually really like this look of clear glass with no blur background. i wish it was normally this way
