Aha, I thought. I can get around Liquid Glass and return to my minimalist iOS 18 Home Screen, just by flipping the background from black to white! Genius! But no.

Whether I set a background to white (255,255,255) or use an image (255,255,255/#ffffff), iOS 26 makes it subtly darker, just so it can still show off its Liquid Glass effects around widgets. iOS 18 does not.

I don’t even.

This might not be news to anyone here, but, hey, I’m still discovering new things that annoy me about iOS 26.

@craiggrannell I’m heading towards a point where I may have to update my iPhone to iOS 26 and I’m slowly dreading it.

Dreading to update some software - that’s where we are.

@darylbaxter There’s a point where it just won’t be feasible to keep all my kit on the previous systems. I’m dreading the upgrade. I can’t imagine the 27 ones will be much better.
