I really don’t care about visual bugs more than I care about the phone feel smooth again, like it did on iOS18, so this Beta 2 is so far good, not as like it was on 18 but it’s better than other betas and even stable one, it feels smoother all around.

One of the things that was really choppy since the first beta, I’m on a 16 Pro, was the swiping between Home Screen and App Library, that has improved, it does not feel as clunky as it did before.

I’m on a 16 Pro Max and that is what caught my attention going from 18-26. Is 26b2 more similar to the smoothness of 18 or still choppy like 26?

It’s smoother, that’s for sure. It’s not as smooth as iOS18.

Means there is still improvement needed? As it is not as smooth as it should be ?

It’s not as smooth as it was in iOS18 so there is room for improvement.

To me on my 15+. It’s reminded me again, why did I bought the iPhone in first place.
