Longing for the iOS 18 Aesthetic: Join the Discussion on MacRumors Forums

I’m really enjoying the new features in iOS 26. The aesthetic is certainly appealing in many aspects, especially with the glossy finish. However, I’m starting to feel a lingering headache from the design changes.

It seems to be a bit more overwhelming compared to previous versions. Just today, I saw a friend using iOS 18, and it triggered a wave of nostalgia for me. Having spent the last couple of weeks with the iOS 26 Beta, I suddenly found myself longing for the simplicity and charm of the older version.

The flat design of iOS 18 has a certain elegance that I find myself missing. It’s interesting how a slight shift in design can evoke such strong feelings. Even though iOS 26 brings fresh updates and functionalities, sometimes I find myself yearning for the comfort of familiarity.

Nevertheless, I suppose I’ll have to get used to the new look, even if it does come with its own set of challenges. Change can be tough, and while I appreciate innovation, there’s something to be said for the classic design that many of us grew to love. Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to embrace iOS 26 and hope that future updates address the aspects that I find overwhelming.

Change is part of the experience, and perhaps I’ll end up appreciating this new design in time.
