Even after installing the latest update public release of 26.1 no improvement to the moving of apps feature or the whole icons disappearing issue that is still ongoing on my iPhone 17 Air. I am beyond disappointed that Apple would release an iOS version so filled with bugs that basic operations that were once smooth and easy are now difficult and problematic and in some cases simply cannot be overcome depending on the issue.
The main thing that attracted me to Apple way back when I purchased my first iPhone which was the iPhone 3 followed by the 3G is the simplicity of it all. Over the years they have done a pretty consistent job of keeping it that way until now. It seems like now it’s all an experiment with a rush put on things that just are not ready for public release when it comes to iOS updates. The reality is this Apple is becoming overly focused on how many features they can pack into iOS and not on how they can continue to keep it simple.
if Apple wants to serve the general public the focus should be on design improvement and creation of their products as well as quality control of the production of them, and finally pricing.
The iPhone Air could have been much more successful if it they had focused on hardware like battery life and camera capability as well as performance, and antenna quality. I personally love the phone itself from a design perspective but it leaves a great deal to be desired in other areas for the price. But I digress. iOS 26 a flop in many ways and Tim Cooke should have had them working on it longer before its release date to make sure it was ready for the public.
