I should be firmly in this market. Indeed, I was about to order a 17 Pro just for the camera upgrade (coming from a 15 Pro).

Then I installed iOS 26.

I think I hate it. It might be the last straw.

I’m seriously considering taking the plunge and switching from iOS, which I’ve used since the iPhone 3G, to GrapheneOS on a Pixel 9 Pro.

It’s not just iOS (which is all three of worse, buggier, and slower) but also the direction of travel for Apple as a whole.
