I don’t care how they do it but I want to be able to press and hold the flashlight icon and, without lifting my finger, immediately begin to slide my finger up and down to adjust flashlight brightness.

Boo form over function. Very minor nod to the increased granularity.

I’ve been using developer betas of iOS for at least the last 5 or 6 years.

The current state of iOS 26 is worse than any of those betas. It’s sluggish, UX has been thrown out the window entirely, it’s hard to read anything. Everything is harder to achieve. Things that used to just be there now take a few taps and going back and forth between possible locations. Really terrible stuff.

    Yes, EXACTLY!!! Thank you!!!

    And that goddamn messed up keyboard that keeps moving… everything feels out of place or hard to tap, muscle-memory now makes me do so many typos, mis-taps etc it feels like I’m using an early Android…

    It’s bad, it’s really bad…
