Apple has continued to address iOS 26 bugs and make tweaks to Liquid Glass, some permanent and others optional via customization. With the release of iOS 26.4, inexplicably Apple has moved the search field in the App Store from the bottom (the new paradigm) to the top (what we had in iOS 18 and earlier.

One of the changes in iOS 26 that I’ve come to appreciate is the easier access to search. Having to reach with one hand the search field at the top is clearly more of a stretch. Other areas of iOS remain intact for the most part, so I’m curious why they have decided to do this, but I don’t like it. It seems like one step forward, two steps back.
