Apple OS 26 Reactions: Is iOS Getting Too Complicated? Extra Hours Ep. 58

As iOS26 released today, the panel looked at the updates across macOS, iPadOS, iOS, and watchOS. The panel dove into what’s working, what’s frustrating, and why iOS 26 may finally be “too complicated” for non-technical users. From compatibility concerns with tools like Pro Tools to debates over usability and stability, this was the conversation that dominated the show. Beyond OS 26, the group explored a wide range of tech angles. We heard about blazing-fast fiber internet vs. the frustrations of limited provider choices, hands-on testing with immersive cameras and ambisonic mics at concerts and School of Rock, the excitement (and skepticism) around new iPhone purchases and accessories, and the evolving role of Zoom production tools like MXL and OMT. The show wrapped with content recommendations from Chef’s Table: Legends to the sci-fi audiobook We Are Legion (We Are Bob), and even a quick Emmy Awards recap.
