Here Is more proof that iOS 26 is garbage. As we all know, pretty much all devices running iOS 26 are unable to be in low power mode and screen record without lagging and freezing like crazy.
I find it hilarious that my iPad 7 running iPadOS 18.7.9 can do this perfectly fine without much issue, while a $1000+ iPhone can’t. I even added unnecessary controls for fluff to attempt to push my iPad even more, but it still handles it just fine.
Sure, my iPad is stuttering a little bit, but it’s not even close to how bad iOS 26 is. As a matter of fact, my iPad sits at 69% batt health, which is leaving quite a bit of performance on the table with a degraded batt like that, but it can still do this without issue.
I’m tired of people defending iOS 26. If an iPad with the SOC of the iPhone 7 Plus can be in low power mode screen record just fine, there is no reason any other device shouldn’t be able to.

Edit: For comparison, here is my iPad 8 on iPadOS 26.5 with 94% batt health doing the same actions: https://gofile.io/d/CS1IBl
