Revert to older iOS for better UX/UI

After upgrading to iOS 26.1 I do not like with the Apple design at all. Can I revert to an older iOS operating system to get rid of this failed attempt at user experience/Useer interface? I truly hate the look and feel of this platform to the extent that I will do just about anything, including possible equipment changes, to get rid of this new version.

iPhone 16, iOS 26

Sorry, downgrading isn't supported by Apple.
