Apple iOS 26 Update Review (Reviews) (Phone Update Reviews)

Review by Warren Woodhouse

Rating: 3 Stars

Apple’s latest update, iOS 26, called Liquid Glass, has made the app icons look blurry, images appearing disoriented and according to more than one source, the new update also causes battery drain on iPhones, no surprise here since this has happened in the past.

There is no shortage of surprises with Apple each year, sometimes they are unexpected. In a long line of annoying and less useful updates, this one takes the biscuit.

I hope if Apple are reading this that they’ll fix these issues or at least implement a feature that allows users to select older icons and features if we prefer them instead of the recent updated designs.
