And I think everyone agrees that it is your choice to install IOS 26 on your phone.

Personally I will skip IOS 26 and stay on IOS 18 and maybe upgrade to IOS 27 when it comes out next year (if by then all the bad UI decisions have been reversed).

I had a play around with a friend's phone who was updated to IOS 26 and honestly It just doesnt work for me in it's current state.
