Just for one instance, bug I ran into a few hours ago (persisting in 26.3!) is that, sometimes, you can't even open the lock screen. It just wiggles.
The performance continues to be very poor, rendering far below the 120fps target that iOS 18 hit consistently. This persists with 26.3.
On Mac, the corner handle grab change was a miss but doesn’t affect me much because I don’t do much window resizing.
On my iPad, the fly in and fly out animation for the App Library doesn’t necessarily follow your swipe direction.
I’ve never seen a lock screen wiggle, my guess that might be related to debris or finger moisture more than the OS
I'm happy it's working for you, but it's still an inconsistent and broken release.
There are 10 iPhones in my immediate family orbit, all running 26 (Including an iPhone 12 Pro). Users ranging from their early teens to 90 and I am the one they call when there is any tech issues.
No one is complaining. Not too bad for an inconsistent and broken release.
> "100% usable" is an exaggeration that doesn't describe Apple's Liquid Glass
Only if you define “usable” as “bug free”
Even if true, which I haven't experienced, that doesn't sound like a problem with glass.

Do you realize how tiny of a minority you are in to complain about this, much less even notice it?
I'm not in a minority, this is something that's a new and common complaint among iPhone users. The performance of iOS 26 is very bad. Look at the huge recent spike in "iPhone battery problems" in Google Trends shortly after iOS 26 released, hitting its highest-ever in January 2026. The last peak was in 2011.

And look at how dramatic the graph for "iPhone slow" is. It's the highest it's ever been, by far, seven times higher than the previous highest peak:

This statement lacks perspective. Currently, there are 1.6 billion iphone users worldwide. People who make any complaints about iphone are already in a tiny minority.
Remember in the past, Apple got away with purposely slowing down old models with very little backlash. I dont know, maybe they still do that. So saying "its a common complaint" is completely missing the forest for the trees.
