I installed and manage to briefly use iPadOS and iOS 26 today.
The liquid glass needs to be toned down, maybe make it more like my music player.
It’s very cartoonish on the iPhone when you drag controls which I don’t like, it’s far too jiggly.
The multitasking on iPadOS 26 on the other hand is great, that in combination with the fact you can plug into an external monitor, there is a better files app and background tasks too, is likely to lead to many seriously considering replacing portable Macs with an iPad over the next few years. Even more so since intel is phased out next year.
