As far as I can see, it gives you more control over handling incoming calls, and more AI that you probably neither asked for nor want.

Any experience with it?

I’ve got an aging iPhone 15.

15 is not that old. I replaced an 11 less than a year ago.

I haven't paid much attention to what it does. Other than I don't get bothered by phony calls I don't want almost ever.

Still hanging on to my trusty 11. Don't see any need to upgrade. Being able to filter scam calls will be huge as I'm engaged in a job search and can't just ignore anything not in my contacts list, so.. I guess we'll see when I'm forced to upgrade.
 
Avoiding "26" like the plague it is. Apple has a very bad habit of cross-obsoleting everything to force you to upgrade hardware. I upgrade the phone to iOS 26, then I have to upgrade the MacBook Air to 26 because certain things no longer work, and then I'm hosed transferring photos to the Mac mini - locked at 12.7.6 - which is my main desktop. I don't know if 26 is actually this bad, but I don't need to upgrade, everything sort of works as it should, and I sure as hell don't need Apple's interpretation of AI to "improve my life". Fuck that shit.

Been screwed by Apple so many times by their specious need to keep their engineers employed that my butthole hurts. Leave it fucking alone, dammit!

That’s a plus.

Is the extra AI intrusive?

I recently bought an iPhone 15 ( not Pro ) precisely because it is not compatible with AI . Later versions are designed to be fully integrated with AI but it appears you can switch AI off.

Mine runs Os26 perfectly.

One facility you may not yet be able to take advantage of for your 'ageing' 15 is to manage battery charging for its longevity. I have mine set to charge up to 90% and has been shown to extend battery life. Plus, the extra controls on privacy are useful.

Trying to understand how decimating my battery life helps, but I’m stuck with it now.
 
Sticking to 18.7 as long as I can; everything I've seen about 26 so far looks like it will enrage me.

My wife's phone updated and she hates Liquid Glass. Too much transparency and animated effects and hard to read.

I've managed to avoid it so far.

Simple enough to back peddle most off the visual changes through Accessibility so I hope she perseveres with fixing it.

My old iPhone 15 can't run full AI which is why I bought it, but I like to keep ahead of security bugs. I'm no expert and I pick up a lot of tips from Macmostview . If nothing else, from a security/convenience pov, the new Passwords app on 26 is great and it pushed me to update my crappy old duplicated passwords.
The new Preview for iPhone - and those two make it worthwhile.
I set up paying by phone, given how tight the security is - I never trusted the system before, so...

There's plenty of things I don't like - Siri is crap compared to Android for one thing.
 
I hate 26.2. When I go to log onto a site requiring user name snd PW, a white screen comes down and obscures the log in boxes. They have not been able to fix it.

Hmm... with Safari or another browser? I just tried signing into Discord, which I've never used on my phone and it behaved.

I'm not a tech fan or guru by any means. I still have G5 running El Cap under my desk because I refuse to rent my image processing software from those thieving c***s at Adobe - I still run Photoshop 5.5 when I can bothered to pour in some petrol and fire it up ;)

We've done that, and it reduces the transparency but it doesn't fix all the other changes.

Apple does this, they decide that they know what users want better than the people using it. Which would be fine if they didn't make it impossible to to turn off the changes.

Honestly, it's shit like that that made me more from Android to iOS in the first place.

Don't fuck with people's muscle memory; it's like the first rule of Human Computer Interfacing.
