Some users are noticing that everything in iOS 26 is slightly larger, leading to reduced information density on the screen.
A comparison of information density across different iOS versions reveals that iOS 26 offers less screen space for content.
Apple has increased row height and padding in iOS 26 to provide more 'breathing room,' but this change reduces the amount of information displayed and may require more scrolling.
Critics argue that the increased white space in iOS 26 is unnecessary and can impact the clarity of layouts, pushing content closer to screen edges.
