Recommend that you do not upgrade your iPhone or iPad to the new iOS
Here's an AI-derived summation of the biggest gripes - I agree with many/most of them:
Top Complaints
Liquid Glass UI: Users criticize the new translucent design for causing blurry icons, white corners on keyboards, disorienting dark mode glows, and reduced readability, often calling it an "optical nightmare."
Battery Drain and Overheating: Rapid battery depletion and excessive heat occur post-update, linked to background indexing and app syncing.
Keyboard Problems: Overlapping keys, lag, erratic autocorrect, and inconsistent design across apps frustrate typing.
Performance Issues
Sluggish app switching, random crashes, laggy sessions, and black screens plague devices, making newer iPhones feel outdated. Connectivity woes include WiFi drops, Bluetooth pairing failures, and CarPlay disconnection.
Other Frequent Gripes
Notification badges fail to clear, system storage bloats unexpectedly, and features like FaceTime route calls incorrectly. Many urge waiting for iOS 27, rumored as a stability-focused "Snow Leopard" release
