Easily the worst update cycle so far. Across all systems just so many unfinished, incomplete elements, I'm slowly losing my mind.

thanks -- glad I decided to wait...

I'm still on iOS 12.

Ok you guys pushed me to update. Let's see if this new redesign for the phone app will make it suck less.

Servers might be dying. Went from 10 minutes download to 3 days. Oh well.

Managed to get it and indeed it sucks even more. Why do I need those big icons for favourites surpasses my understanding. Wish they just copied the one from google. Tbh any android version of the phone app is better than this.

I was able to fix my performance issues by disabling Siri/Apple Intelligence which apparently is spending 48 hours indexing the entire milky way.

UI is unfortunately still rough but it's not bad enough to downgrade. I would say wait until at least 26.1.

I haven't tried 26 yet might give it a whirl though ?
