The ios experience from ios 15 to 26 to 27.
I bought the iPhone 13 in 2022. It was my first iPhone and was expecting seamless software. It delivered on it with ios 15 and stayed on it till 2026. It was a very smooth experience. I liked the glass thing of ios 26 and the ui was getting a little stale, so updated it. It was really a bad experience.
Never expected it from Apple. Maybe because of the LLM code generation the devs in Apple used. The animation were laggy and the phone heated up for no reason a couple of times. Yesterday I was outside my home and the phone started heating up like crazy and the started thermal throttling. Huge lags in everything and could not even pay with UPI(digital payment).
I and most of the people dont generally carry cash since the introduction of UPI in India. It was very hot outside and asking so many people for a change ( I had one big note) was infuriating. Once I arrived home ,instantly updated to ios 27 beta without any backup. I didn’t care at that point. The ios 27 experience is the OG experience of the good old apple days. Its very stable so far. No lag no overheating so far. Maybe this happened coz the new ceo is an engineering guy and not a business guy. I hope it continues to be like this. If aint Im switching to Pixel.
