Sounds like the liquid glass animations are so heavy that if the system is busy with anything else for a second then everything simply breaks.

I remember seeing the videos about cpu usage spiking over 40% just to show the control center.

And similarly, even on a Mac I find myself clicking on links and button multiple times, just for things to work. It has a dedicated keyboard, how is it that they messed it up so much that a physical keyboard stops working. It's an interrupt based interface, it takes less than a millisecond to process things, how can someone mess things up so freaking stupidly.

That was basically the whole point of it.

Apple makes money selling hardware; they have a vested interest in making things slower/worse to incentivize people to buy newer hardware.

This is why you can never really trust Apple and also why no matter how bad Windows gets, it's still a better deal because at least you can count on the fact that PC businesses will compete on the hardware front to get your money.

Choosing Apple is a lot like being in an abusive relationship; you can't leave because the switching cost are quite high, so you tolerate a lot more abuse than you would be willing to otherwise.

And this is the reason people try to not rely on Apple software too much; if you do, they truly have you by the balls.

Shortcuts run but often do not trigger all the stages in a pipeline. No issues with same shortcuts prior to installing iOS26. These Shortcuts do not trigger UI transitions. They send data over network.

Sounds like Apple management enabled a quality assurance failure that is fostering so many distractions for users it's turning people against Apple.

Tim Cook handing his replacement a dumpster fire.
