Everything is much slower on an iPhone 13 Pro after upgrading to iOS26.
Beware. Not sure it’s worth the upgrade.

iOS26?
Wait... I'm still on iOS17 here...
Put some banana peels and soda cans in the Mr Fusion and get ready for takeoff.
iPhone 13 Pro is noticeably slower than the newer devices. I upgraded from 13 Pro to 14 Pro last year and it was obvious. iOS 26 seems to be running ok for me.
I just downgraded. What a difference. iOS 18 is so much more responsive on an iPhone 13 Pro.
One could wonder: are all those bells and whistles really necessary when you know how much power they draw? How are those helping me get things done on my phone?
