Down the Rabbit Hole |
Your device will be fine without the upgrade. They are simply trying to scare folks into upgrading. One of the oldest tricks in the book for tech companies.

Related to a thread I started, asking about Spectrum phone service, I did switch over to Spectrum and so far so good. When porting the number over, the tech strongly recommended I upgrade my iOS. I did and it's okay. I'm getting used to the slight differences and don't see anything I can't stand yet. Like anything, I guess it takes some getting used to. SIGforum: For all your needs!

Does 26.3 fix the crap of 26.2 or does it just make things worse? | |||

It's the same playbook at each upgrade, isn't it?

| Thank you Very little  |
Just upgraded and holy crap, my phone still works. Film at 11 | |||

I did the latest upgrade, 26.3, this past weekend and haven't noticed any difference so far. "Even if the world were perfect it wouldn't be." ... Yogi Berra | |||

None of us said it wasn’t going to work. We all said the interface sucks now and is harder to use because of all the liquid glass BS and other stuff | |||

I like the liquid glass look. And Apple will likely refine it going forward. Serious about crackers. | |||

I'm always amazed at those that exclaim right after they performed the 'upgrade', that they're determined it 'works great, no issues' simply because the device rebooted successfully. I've got ZERO intentions of upgrading to iOS 26 anytime soon! Just sayin'...  This message has been edited.

Can someone who has not updated their iPad to 26.3 chec out a setting for me? In settings > privacy and security. At the bottom in the "Security" sun section, is there a "Background Security Improvements" option? If set to automatically allow, it will auto install "security" updates between released updates. I don’t remember seeing this before and I am wondering if this is new in 26.3 or if I just don’t remember it. It was set to automatically allow which i would never have set it to. It is possible that I just missed this in the past. “We truly live in a wondrous age of stupid.” - 83v45magna "I think it's important that people understand free speech doesn't mean free from consequences societally or politically or culturally." -Pranjit Kalita, founder and CIO of Birkoa Capital Management | |||

It was added in 26.1 update. | |||

Thanks. I must have missed it. Usually i dig through the setting pretty well after updates to see which, if any, settings get changed by the update. “We truly live in a wondrous age of stupid.” - 83v45magna "I think it's important that people understand free speech doesn't mean free from consequences societally or politically or culturally." -Pranjit Kalita, founder and CIO of Birkoa Capital Management | |||

Well, they probably had the other things pending so it's easier to include them than revert. Dig a little and you'll usually find the CVE that the update addresses. You don't want to give the black hats info. that they may not already have learned. It's always a race between the attackers and defenders. | |||

My SE2 ran fine before this update. It’s slow as hell now. Guess I’ll be upgrading a few months earlier than planned. | |||
|
| Get my pies outta the oven! |
My work iPhone is a 13 and it’s noticeably slower now than before. I have to update when they tell me to so I had no choice with going to iOS 26 like with my personal iPhone which is still running 18.7.2 Don’t like it at all and I put in a a request for a newer phone | |||

SE2 here, too. I'm not doing this update, and glad for the confirmation that this model doesn't like the update. I really don't want to replace the phone. I like the smaller size, and hate spending money. | |||
