On an iPhone 12 mini, wishing I hadn’t upgraded to iOS 26 because now my phone is notably laggy. Word to the wise. I use swiping for input and would consider it now unusable due to extreme lag.

The physical aspect I can’t give up is I can hold the phone with my thumb on the bottom and my middle finger on the top and scroll with my index finger to read. Wish I could buy that capability on a new iPhone, maybe one even slightly smaller.

Time to go find out if there’s even a way to downgrade, oof this is slow.

Yeah, the last supported OS upgrade for iPhones really makes them dog slow. (no idea if this is actually the last for the 12 series)
