I hope they release a version of these fixes on iOS 18 in a form installable on an iPhone 14; I've been trying to stay away from Liquid Glass until it's actually usable. I really don't want to be forced to upgrade, since Apple seems to have replaced UX testing with "just ship it," as has become standard in the industry.

Updated my 13 mini. Performance is fine / maybe better.. but battery. Tanked. How true is the ‘it takes days for reindexing’ statement?
Just in one example video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eCUkYJ8A98 ) they see the phone get hotter and the battery drops 13x faster during non-static sequences like checking notifications, etc.
Just anecdotally, my iPhone 16 Pro seems to last half as long. Before iOS 16, I got from 80% to 20% without a problem. Now, I charge to 100% and I still need to recharge throughout the day. Apple simply fucked up our phones.

Workload contention. My iPhone 17 visibly struggles to render components with evident lagging - this is user-noticeable, if it were all done by an otherwise spare core I wouldn’t notice these things.
It's a very complicated system. Performance issues are bad but they're not necessarily caused by how the UI looks. You can report an issue by typing applefeedback:// into Safari if you want.

"100% usable" is an exaggeration that doesn't describe Apple's Liquid Glass. iOS 26 is still very rough and it's still not in a release-appropriate state. Just for one instance, bug I ran into a few hours ago (persisting in 26.3!) is that, sometimes, you can't even open the lock screen. It just wiggles. The performance continues to be very poor, rendering far below the 120fps target that iOS 18 hit consistently. This…

Only if you define “usable” as “bug free”

Even if true, which I haven't experienced, that doesn't sound like a problem with glass.

Do you realize how tiny of a minority you are in to complain about this, much less even notice it?

Is that not 18.7.5 as released yesterday or am I missing something? https://support.apple.com/en-us/126347
They are explicitly choosing to only release security updates for 18.x to devices which are not eligible for liquid glass.
iPhone 14 was deemed capable of running liquid glass, even though it has worse battery life and performs sluggishly.
In the past, Apple has usually let you hold back on an older version and shipped security updates for all devices, not just ones that are incapable of running the new OS, but not this time.

Very consumer-hostile behavior from Apple :(

It's about 60% as usable. Weird and distracting jiggling makes it hard to target where the button will be. Also the placement of buttons and functionality is completely scattered around the UIs, which severely reduces usability. What do all the mystery meat buttons do now? One has to relearn all the UX. There's a ton of improvement needed, it's about first-draft level quality. Dark mode UI elements are almost invisib…
What does % usable even mean?
