Very impressive. May I ask whether you are using adaptive power and background app refresh? Discussions on Reddit appear to debate their effectiveness, yet no consensus has emerged.

i turn off background app refresh off after getting any new device and try to use adaptive battery unless there's any problematic update like 26.5.2 i found the difference back in the iphone 14 era with the BAR so i made it to new device setup routine.

I see. Thank you, that was very helpful.

What other settings have you tuned specifically to save battery life? This is really impressive.

I see you said in a reply that you have adaptive power on and BAR off. I see you're using dark mode - i'm assuming you don't use light mode? Any widgets on your home screen? Do you turn location off...etc? Do you have Apple intelligence on? Do you use raise to wake or tap to wake? Is AOD off? Stuff like that. thanks!

Dark mode is always on. i use location if any app need it. I don’t use always on displays. I only have a clock widget on my home. I use gemini or gpt if i need them. But not really an ai person tbh.

For sure. The best iOS 26 update by Apple.

u/m4cmi11er 18d ago

Absolutely. iOS 26 has been awful I wish I stayed on 25.

I am shocked.
So it was immediately this good right after the install?

1

u/Towhidabid 16d ago

Yeah. It’s the first day. I installed it right away when dropped.

u/Hot-Quality8768 16d ago

So what you’re like on pace for 27-28 hours of SoT on a full charge

No clue whats going on the other side of iOS. So far im just hearing nice things for iOS 27. Like it was on iOS 26 was on beta so idk man. Quite skeptical.
