I was afraid iOS 26 will be the Kiss of Death to my iPhone 13 Mini, and indeed it is. Battery life (new battery, 3 months old) is a laughable 4 hours at moderate usage, apps are lagging, some take dozens of seconds to start, sometimes end up in bizarre “should not happen” states, interactions sometimes handled after half a second to seconds of freeze :(
Not sure what my next move will be, seriously considering moving into a cave.

Oh, and apps get killed seconds, best case a few minutes after going to background.

@mrc@mastodon.berlin The first days after an update are rough, as it re-indexes and revisits everything on the device. Wait a bit, and move to the cave next week ;-)
