What about the security update, especially for the phone ? There have been critical flaws patched recently.

Agree that iOS 26 is trash and it empty my iPhone 13 mini battery in less time than I need to write it.

iOS 18 is still getting updates. Same with Sequoia. Eventually that will stop and I’ll have to upgrade.

Apple already flipped the switch in December with 18.7.3, if your phone is capable running 26, you will not get offered 18.x updates anymore

As an update, I gave in and installed 26.2. I've turned on "reduce transparency" and it's not that bad so far.
