You did not mention whether you can “rewind” if you don’ like the upgrade. In the past, Apple has not allowed a user to backtrack if the new “upgrade”. Has problems. What about this one?

This article is about upgrading your iPhone, not iOS. If you meant iOS instead: Apple generally doesn’t allow downgrades once it stops “signing” the previous version, so rolling back is rarely possible.

I HATE iOS 26.1 !!! I don't want my phone controlled by a computer. Trying to get back to what I started out to do is confusing and troublesome. In addition, resolution on Liquid Glass is awful -- makes icons harder to read. iOS 26.1 is different, maybe OK for "techies" but not better for those of us who aren't.

I hope you get the bugs out so that it doesn’t lock up apps or/and hide icons on the selection screen. I wished I hadn’t downloaded the beta version on my iPad and am reticent to be in any hurry to put it on my iPhone.

I wonder how it'll work in Europe, where the ID card is the universal verification document??

Thanks for taking the time to go over the AirPods features. I've been a bit confused since I purchased them and this article truly helped me out. Mac user since 1989

I thought this was generally positive until I read that it wasn't for public release, and only for internal training. That hasn't done much good in the past. The option to choose ChatGPT is a good step, and it would probably be better than Siri as it is now, which is a joke. Instead, the engineers will keep puttering, which might mean the kiss of death. I love Apple, and I've been a keen watcher of Apple since Mac I in 1984, but I wish Steve's ghost could sit on Tim's shoulder.
