At least they unexpectedly released iOS and iPadOS 18.7.7 today with a DarkSword fix for people who stayed on 18 to avoid Liquid Glass.

It me, no way I’m updating to 26 on my 8th gen iPad (5 years old) because it’ll be slowed to a crawl.

My 2019 iPad Air with 3GB RAM runs it fine including multi window mode. That by itself makes it the most significant upgrade in at least the last 10 years

My iPhone 13 mini launched around the same time runs it with zero problems

		We have a mini in my household and I wouldn’t call it “zero problems”. It’s usable but definitely slower than iOS 18. My iPhone 17 visibly struggles with basic browser UI rendering. I’m not satisfied with iOS 26. Here’s hoping they improve performance in 27.
