(WBEN) &#8211;<\/strong> There&#8217;s a lot of kicking and screaming going on after the latest iOS update from Apple. iOS 26.2 is angering and confusing a lot of users.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"www.audacy.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cml87kgvr001d357vufxp6hna@published\" data-editable=\"text\" class=\"paragraph paragraph--station\">Some say it&#8217;s akin to waking up in a new world. Complaints include slow speed, swipes to nowhere, difficulty posting photos and switching tabs in the browser, or finding the search function in email; plus dwindling battery life.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"www.audacy.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cml87kgx6001e357vp2s1a6jp@published\" data-editable=\"text\" class=\"paragraph paragraph--station\">&#8220;It&#8217;s liquid glass. They changed the whole interface to be more modern, but it&#8217;s a departure from what people are used to,&#8221; said Garret Cleversley, President of MacSolutions Plus in East Amherst.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"www.audacy.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cml87kh2u001f357vr3xqo06k@published\" data-editable=\"text\" class=\"paragraph paragraph--station\">Cleversley told WBEN he&#8217;s hearing complaints from users &#8220;all day long&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"www.audacy.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cml87kh3x001g357vdqdtlgzm@published\" data-editable=\"text\" class=\"paragraph paragraph--station\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to pick on the older crowd, but folks who didn&#8217;t grow up with technology don&#8217;t like the change. They want it back to what they&#8217;re used to,&#8221; Cleversley said.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"www.audacy.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cml87kh5a001h357v0ohfx8gv@published\" data-editable=\"text\" class=\"paragraph paragraph--station\">He said you can always revert back to your original interface.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"www.audacy.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cml87kh9v001i357vqqxrj0ob@published\" data-editable=\"text\" class=\"paragraph paragraph--station\">&#8220;Go to settings, followed by Accessibility, Display and Text size. Turn on Reduced transparency,&#8221; Cleversley explained.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"www.audacy.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cml87khav001j357vh5uqrym8@published\" data-editable=\"text\" class=\"paragraph paragraph--station\">It changes the phone to its previous look, but there are some things that you can&#8217;t change.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"www.audacy.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cml87khbw001k357v2d9bvo48@published\" data-editable=\"text\" class=\"paragraph paragraph--station\">&#8220;After 20 years of the iPhone and clicking in one spot, you have to retrain your brain to click in a different spot. It&#8217;s a struggle,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"www.audacy.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cml87khcu001l357vowrrc5lj@published\" data-editable=\"text\" class=\"paragraph paragraph--station\">If enough people complain, would Apple walk it back?<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"www.audacy.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cml87khdu001m357vfcm3of68@published\" data-editable=\"text\" class=\"paragraph paragraph--station\">&#8220;They have before,&#8221; said Cleversley. &#8220;But I don&#8217;t see it happening with iOS 26.<\/p>\n<p>\n          <span class=\" recirculation_credit\">Featured Image Photo Credit: Getty Images<\/span>\n        <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.audacy.com\/wben\/news\/local\/hate-the-new-iphone-update-join-the-crowd\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hate the new iPhone update?
