Whether helpful or not--I tried to set up an iPhone 13 mini and could not get it to keep a connection to either wifi or any bluetooth device with Ios 26.1 The iphone 13 mini would set up but never hold a connection. Devices below

Took out my old phone iPhone SE 2020 and all wifi connections and Bluetooth devices I have keep their connections with no trouble. Devices tested: Phonak Roger ON (connects to two AB Bionics sound Processor for Cochlear Implant) and a sound processor for the AB Bionics (same device). The sound processor allows phone conversations so someone already deaf.

Some devices don't react well if paired to more than on phone.

I just updated to the new IOS 26-liquid glass. The reflective nature of the light is so distracting and causes migraines. I have tried all the so-call "fixes" for this: adjusting Display and Brightness, Reducing Transparency and Tinting however nothing works. I cannot use Dark Mode as well, because black background with white lettering also triggers migraines. This is affecting me being on my phone for everything, including emails, apps and texting. Does anyone have a true fix? I wish Apple would allow us the choice to go back to the classic settings.

I had a very bad experience with my iPhone 14 pro max IOS 26.2 my iPhone alerted me of an update and i already had the 26,1 . well i did the update last night and this morning my iPhone was dead. it didn't work at all, it asked me to connect to another device to restore it and i did connect it to my PC but the website was not found.

if i would've known that this was gonna happened i wouldn't have update my iPhone.

I made an appointment with apple but 12 Hours later My iPhone started working.

Check your battery health at Settings > Battery > Battery Health > Maximum Performance? If it is below 80% it is time for it to be replaced and there would likely be a Battery Service message as well.

I don’t have an issue. My spouse doesn’t have an issue, and neither do my children and grandchildren on my plan. But statistically that’s irrelevant considering the millions of iPhones on iOS 26.X.X without issue.

Not trying to minimize your frustration and experience, but Apple does not participate in these community forums. If you want to get Apple Support’s attention, open a repair ticket, escalate the issue, and call about the issue every 10 days to 2 weeks. You can also submit your issue using the link below.

Hello everyone, issues i am getting with IOS26.1, ever since i updated my wifi has slowed down alot i mean alot in a horrible way i do use AVG vpn and when its disabled or enabled my wifi connection is horrible very slow load times and at times it will disconnect on its own i noticed when in incognito mode my wifi works abit better but still slow, anyone else experiencing the same issues with there wifi?

After updating to iOS 26 facing lot of issues. Slowness, app hangs and closes, not functioning, crashing, battery drain out fast, facing heating issues. Wondering when new update will be released.

Updated my ipad with ios 26 last night and ipad is still not responding. No app is open, no button is responding and the battery is dying down without any action or activity on the ipad.

Cannot get my phone off DND! Also action button to force phone into vibrate mode isn’t working. You press the button and you see on the screen it being recognized but doesn’t do its function.

When I first installed IOS 26 I don’t have any issues. But now my cell glitches all the time and lags when opening apps.

My camera control button is kinda working because if I press on it it open te camera app and then I can’t zoom in anymore whit the camera control button

My phone is shutting down at random moment for no reason after i have downloaded the IOS26

Noticed that after ios 26, 12 Pro phone cannot connect to my Airpods Pro Gen 2. nearly each and everytime I need to Disable and Enable bluetooth.

Wondering if anyone facing the same issue?

after update my iphone 16 pro max is lagging heating fast ,battery draining fast and my camera button touch is not working only button working

After iOS26 update my SIM card is not detected anymore. 26.0.1 didn't fix anything.

Phone still unable to connect to any mobile network.
