Same, I had been on android since the OG Droid and switched around the same time for similar reasons.

If Apple is going to charge premium prices just to splash ads on their products I’m moving on again.

The ads don’t bother me as much as the low QA lately. I upgraded to iOS26 and it’s the buggiest product ever. I have the newest iPhone pro/max and it should be able to handle it fine. Siri never works, apps crash, freeze, the interface is extremely ugly to look at (the liquid crap). Just overall it feels half assed.

Yeah, I have an iPhone 15 Pro and Safari is freezing or just not even allowing me to close windows until I restart the app sometimes. That or websites won’t load and then I restart the app and try again and they load fine.

I haven’t tried turning it off yet, but my suspicion is the Liquid Glass and all the stuff it needs to do is taking priority.
