iOS 26 anecdote:
A couple of weeks ago, I had a Baltimore Oriole (a cool-looking bird, not a baseball player) in my yard. They aren't rare, per se, but they are uncommon.
Took my iPhone out to snap a picture, and pressed the camera button. I hadn't used it, since upgrading to 26.
It takes the picture. It's there. I can see it, but it won't let me save it. Instead, it wants to tell me about the cool new voice-activated AI retouch feature. There was no way to save.
I probably could have figured it out, but I was so furious, I just nuked the picture.

- ChrisMarshallNY 3mo agoIt was a first-time onboarding thing. After that first time, it didn’t happen again. Fairly typical kind of workflow, that most apps do, these days. It’s just that the timing couldn’t have been worse. > You must be a bot, just another living shill. another confident user error in the field I have no idea what that means.
- DHPersonal 3mo agoHolding down the camera button does open the AI search for me instead of the Camera app. This can be disabled, if I remember correctly.
- ChrisMarshallNY 3mo agoIt was a one-time thing. I have that button set for the app. I have the long-press set for manual tweaking. I assume that this was trying to get me to use AI, instead.
