Es gab im Grunde nie neue Features. Seit iOS 18 tut sich was und <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/ios26" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ios26</span></a> feinjustiert das Ganze noch ein wenig. Inzwischen ist die App, sagen wir mal, gut. Was den Funktionsumfang angeht, genügt sie mir.

mia<p>The more I see of iOS 26, the more I am convinced I will not upgrade in September. I am very happy with iPadOS 26, where the changes are far less egregious (even if less than ideal) but on the phone it looks horrendous. I have tested a bit with an old iPhone 13 Mini and dear lord it is bad. I can’t see how they fix this mess if they keep to the usual release date in about 2 months.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/iOS26" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iOS26</span></a></p><p><a href="https://nileane.fr/@nileane/114907388191785925" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nileane.fr/@nileane/1149073881</span><span class="invisible">91785925</span></a></p>

Wayne Dixon<p>I haven’t commented much on Apple’s switch to Liquid Glass, because it’s a beta. However, in its current state I will be advising people NOT install the public beta. </p><p>If the legibility doesn’t vastly improve, I will be telling people to NOT install it when it is actually released. There are way too many places where it’s hard to see controls.</p><p>It’s shaping up to be another iOS 7 debacle, where it substantially changes the entire look and it becomes unusable for a year or so.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ios26" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ios26</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ipados26" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ipados26</span></a></p>
David Nelson<p>I highly recommend switching the Safari toolbar from Compact back to Bottom or Top. Why? In the compact view your list of tabs is two taps deep: You have to tap the three dots (…) menu then tap on “All Tabs”. With the top or bottom bars you get the tab button back where it’s supposed to be. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/iOS26" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iOS26</span></a></p>
David Nelson<p>In Safari on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/iOS26" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iOS26</span></a> you can add a “Connection Security Details” action to the “Page Menu”.</p><p>This lets you see details of a site’s TLS cert without third-party apps or extensions.</p>
Sven A. Schmidt<p>I often assist my parents remotely trying to figure out how to do things on their iPhone or iPad. We frequently get stuck at “press the button X” and they can’t find it.</p><p>They’re not trained to “see” interface elements. The best way to experience this for us, experienced users, is trying to use a website or UI in a foreign language. Suddenly you have no clue what’s going on.</p><p>I shudder imagining what <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/iOS26" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iOS26</span></a> will do to their ability to use their devices 😞</p><p><a href="https://bolha.us/@andreitorres/114898346692241446" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bolha.us/@andreitorres/1148983</span><span class="invisible">46692241446</span></a></p>
