Is there anything in iOS 26 that makes it worth updating for an older iPhone? I am holding out for now, based on the bad reviews regarding battery impact.

Please, save yourself, stay away. It is a buggy, slow mess on a 16 Pro.

I paid for 120hz but it can’t even hit 60 on the Home Screen :(

  • Thank you! I was thinking of moving over at 26.1, but it sounds like maybe I'll have to stay away for even longer. Honestly there isn't a lot that I'm excited about, other than perhaps call screening. But I can do that by just sending callers to voicemail and seeing watching the transcript come in on iOS 18.
