I hope I can downgrade...
I also have a 13 and definitely don't want it to get slower. This could happen just as a result of less storage space, which eventually impacts performance.
Everything is less legible. A lot of the new UI requires additional taps/button presses because they want to hide everything to make it look pretty. I had to change the default layout in Safari so I could avoid extra taps to view my tabs, etc. I still don't understand the point of the new Phone app UI and am grateful I can choose not to use it. Even something as simple as as the Now Playing screen in CarPlay seems to be oddly aligned in my car with uneven spacing between the album art and controls, suggesting that they aren't even paying attention to simple details. Sigh.
It was kind of bad before where safari would just open the new tab in whatever mode you were in last, but you could see and switch if you wanted to. Now they’ve removed that info and are doing the same thing so I never know what mode I’m in until I come up and down through the menus.
I can’t understand how no-one vetoed these changes.
Also TvOS 26 has noticeably impacted my TV 4k and it lags just when browsing the menus (which it never did before).
