Updated to iOS 26. So far, it doesn’t seem to have much on the way of performance issues on my 13 mini, which is reassuring. I don’t _like_ the new UI as much, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles, I guess. (Seriously, who thinks the attached is better? It was perfectly clear in iOS 18.)
I have declined to age-verify. Not clear what, if anything, I’m now cut off from. Haven’t hit any barrier yet.

What a choice. I either stick on iOS 18, which has a vulnerable browser and I'm not allowed to not use it, or I update to iOS 26 which will apparently make my phone unusable because the new liquid UI requires too much GPU power for my 13 mini (plus age verification?).

Depressed about this choice. Even if I take a "third way" of leaving iOS again, which I'm gonna with the next phone, I was hoping to put it off until Christmas because phones are expensive so I have to do something now at least.

@kayserifserif OK, I feel a little like having to ask this means I’ve wholly missed the point. But I wrote a coem, and I’ve made myself happy by just reading it out loud to myself with the right cadence, but… it doesn’t work. Honestly, I’ve got all the joy I need by having even tried to do such a thing, so if you say: asking for _technical support _ means you have missed the point, man, then sorry. But should this work? It’s called “What we do next”, if that makes a difference.

A deep dive, and worth reading to understand the detail here.

Alex Moore (Executive Director of OWA) and John Ozbay (CEO and Founder of Cryptee) were recently interviewed by Simonetta Vezzoso, a European academic specializing in digital competition law and the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA).
