iOS 26 brought a major new Liquid Glass design that, in some cases, led to user reports of slower iPhone performance. But Daring Fireball’s John Gruber recently went back to iOS 18 after a long time on iOS 26, and had a surprisingly different experience.

During WWDC, Apple announced the launch of Siri AI, an expansion of the virtual assistant tool that relies more on Apple Intelligence.
