Lars Ellingsen (Oct 08 2025 at 23:50):I’m on an iPhone 17 and iOS 26.0.1 and haven’t had any issues fwiw. But I don’t play any games except DuoLingo and NYT
Jerod Santo (Oct 09 2025 at 00:25):I haven’t had any problems on iOS 26, but I don’t have an Apple Watch. My wife has experienced decreased battery life and she has a watch. So you might be on to something, Tim.
Tim Uckun (Oct 09 2025 at 03:19):I play mostly chess and polytopia. Polytopia is having serious problems with IOS26. If I ever put the phone down so that the screen locks during a game when I come back the scrolling becomes a stuttery mess and I have to kill the game and restart it.
Lichess stops any audio playing when you launch it which is weird because it never used to do that before.
Dustin (Oct 09 2025 at 07:05):I don’t have any noticeable battery issues (with a watch) but what’s really bugging me is you seemingly can’t dismiss the keyboard anymore without hitting the submit button. And tapping the top of the screen no longer takes you to the top of the page
Tim Uckun (Oct 09 2025 at 07:44):Just to be clear. My phone battery usage isn't different, it's the watch that can't make it till sundown.
