iToddlers, your answer?

It's a dev beta, battery drain is common on dev builds. Judge it in September, iOS 18 had the same issue despite no major visual changes.

>>105808988
I didn't even know until I just checked, but I'm still using iOS 15.0.1. I will never update a single piece of technology. In fact, I feel inclined to go the other direction until my digital footprint becomes utterly incomprehensible.

>>105809064
You will when your apps need updates, 15 is getting dropped heavily this year.

>>105809084
My apps already need updates. Nothing works. I can't use several texting apps to communicate with my co-workers, my bank app doesn't work. Crypto doesn't work. I have to use web browser for everything now. Eventually, they will refuse to load on my old browser versions, and the browser will no longer update. Then, I will be making phone calls to companies to get information like my bank balance. I will walk to people to communicate with them. If the world moves on without me, so be it.

>I installed a closed beta and it performs worse than an OS tested by hundreds of millions of people every day, how could this be happening???

>>105808988
settings -> accessibility -> display -> turn off transparency

>>105809183
Nice, good luck. I wish I had enough self-control to go that route.

>>105808988
never update your iphone past the iOS it originally came with

Wonder why.

So Apple is bringing windows 7 back?

Imagine thinking the final release will be any better.

>>105808988
I will not be upgrading to iOS 26 and I'm seriously considering dropping the iOS platform once my current phone dies.

>>105812071
For anyone who missed it:

>>105809064
>4 year old iToddler OS variant
>getting dropped next year
keeeeeek

>>105813007
Yep. I can't wait to go back to using my phone exclusively for taking photos, notes of random things (when I don't have my laptop with me), and calling family members. Everything else, social media, games, etc is ad-filled, an annoying to use on a mobile platform. I'm excited to become more free by having the "it doesn't work on my phone" excuse.

>>105808974 (OP)
More battery drain = the goyim will get a new iPhone faster and buy the max model instead of the regular one

>>105813915
TRVTH TSAR BOMBA

>Imagine thinking the final release will be any better.
Judging by the fact that this has literally been the case for every single previous iOS beta cycle, it would be retarded to expect anything else.

>Closed
Are itoddlers braindead?

>>105816226
stop lying, it is, i'm on 26 beta and turned off all transparency glass effects, works fine

>>105817098
did they update that? it wasnt in the first beta

>>105808988
Not updating and delaying as long as possible

>>105817488
>Not updating to iOS 26 and staying on iOS 18 with their minor updates
ftfy

>>105817098
>>105817422
thats a lie btw, no such option

>>105808988

>>105808988
Moushiwake arima semen, Anon-sama, watashi sell all my iPhones desu.

>>105817422
>>105817616
it's called "Reduce Transparency" and it basically disables all the liquid glass effects
it's right there in the settings

>>105808988
Don’t know, they peaked on my iPhone X

>>105818507
>the stellar most exciting feature that they sold as INNOVATION OF THE CENTURY in their WWDC25 is now something you have to turn off cause its fucking useless.

LE HECKING 3000 USD IPHONERINO IS BETTER THAN YOUR 100 chinese phonee!

>>105819929
what's left to innovate really?
the hardware has barely changed in the past 10 years, so they do what every big company does when they run out of ideas, make the software shittier

>>105808974 (OP)
wtf is the point of this shit

how can things go so downhill after Jony Ive bailed

Apple has nothing left

>>105808974 (OP)
This is how they make sure older phones are obsolete, while still being "supported". 15 Pro series, 16 series and the upcoming 17 series are the only ones not to chug to death.

>>105808974 (OP)
Right side looks better to me too.

>>105812071
Perhaps it's because racism isn't allowed in /g/, you silly butt hurt new fag!

>>105820809
anon.. that's apple flatshit. you just complimented globohomo design.

>>105808974 (OP)
>new glass-like visual style is so resource-intensive it makes existing hardware chug like hell and ruins battery life
It's Windows Vista all over again

>>105818507
it probably doesn't even disable them just reduces :^) the blur matrix coefficients while still draining the battery doing the same computations every frame

>>105821100
that's not true, i tried it on my phone and it disables it all

I don't know why but Liquid Glass hurts my eyes in a way that the OG iOS design didn't.
