Hey folks! I'm really struggling with my iPhone 14 Pro Max since I updated to iOS 26 on release day. The performance is super laggy, and I'm wondering if anyone else has faced this issue. Is it just a matter of waiting for Apple to roll out another update to fix it? Thanks for any help!

I’m using a 14 Pro as well and it seems to be running okay. There are a few quirks here and there, but that’s pretty normal with new software. It might just take some time for the kinks to get worked out.
Have you tried backing up and restoring your device? My 14 Pro runs really smoothly after doing that. Also, check your battery health; if it’s below 80%, that could cause lag too. Mine’s at 100%, so it's buttery smooth right now!
Historically, Apple tends to optimize new iOS releases for older models over time, so there’s hope it’ll get better with future updates. It usually isn’t a great idea to update right when a new version drops, though. Just hang in there!
Sounds good, thanks!
Mine is at 83%. Definitely not ideal!
