Funny enough, my phone upgraded to iOS 26 tonight, and I am like - what is this garbage, who though this is a good idea? And lo and behold, now I know...

Immediately went Tinted mode, yet there is transparency where it shouldn't be, text overlays other text, etc...

I also went tinted as soon as 26.1 came out. There is a step further, under "accessibility" -> "Reduce Transparency".

For me Tinted is ok. Original was indeed very hard to read in places (ie, quick peeks at the notification tray).

Reduce transparency brings it back to acceptable levels, thanks!

I'm still on 18. I keep waiting for the all clear sign to upgrade. I take it, not yet?

When users work together they can overcome Apple's software!

26.1 feels significantly less laggy (UI frame rate), especially on low power mode, than 26.0.1. But it's still not back to 18.x level of performance. Battery seems to be improved on 26.1 over 26.0.1 also but that seems to be hardware-generation dependent.
