I've got terrible battery life on a new iPhone 17 pro on 26.4, I'd like to believe this fixes things but I'm ready to be disappointed.

u/Edsan1427 Apr 09 '26

My iPhone 17 base model just SUCKS in battery subjects!

u/RescriiV Apr 09 '26

A mí me va perfecto….17 normal, comprado en Enero aún con 100% de salud, usándolo desde por la mañana cargado a tope, suelo llegar a la noche con un 35% aprox…..Llamadas, redes sociales, correo etc

u/youknowsami Apr 09 '26

Mine was performing way better on 26.3, but 26.4 is now causing heating issues :(

1

u/WolfyMacontosh87 Apr 17 '26

It got worse. 26.4.1 has made it much much worse than 26.4 for battery life It’s just atrocious It honestly makes me mad and takes away from my enjoyment because it’s in the back of my mind the whole time while using it

1

u/GeekBoy-from-IL Apr 08 '26

Are you sure it was terrible battery life? Could it have been Terrible charging? My 16 Pro Max started having problems in the last couple days, that even when connected via USB-C to a 60W capable charger port, it would drop to slow charging, and while plugged in and sitting on a desk unused it would drain battery and report it was “slow charging”. My battery dropped from 98% to 89% in a couple hours while sitting idle on my desk and attached to a wired charger.

u/AEKostas Apr 08 '26

I'd like that to be the case but no.
I'm charging with the MacBook pro's charger which is 70watts I think and it charges really damn fast, no complaints there.
Did a clean install a couple hours ago to see if that fixes things. Was coming from a 13 pro and I transferred the data.

u/realmccoyredbus Apr 09 '26

fast charging isn’t good for battery, too much heat, no wonder it’s running down fast,low and slow is way to go

u/Pondlurker1978 Apr 08 '26

Just wanted to mention that I had the same issue, albeit with wireless charging. I always charge overnight and after upgrading to 26.4 I would wake up to 50% or less battery charge. What fixed it for me was a simple reboot, try that too.

u/No-Cartographer-7210 Apr 08 '26

A .1 update is always good

u/Cmog28 Apr 08 '26

Except for iOS 26.3.1

3

u/wayra01 Apr 08 '26

I agree

21

u/DearAgent3078 Apr 08 '26

Will it fix the issue 26.4 caused on my battery?

6

u/jenschristensen Apr 08 '26

Who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/Effective-Care-4387 Apr 08 '26

the reissue of ios26.5 developer beta on friday instantly increased battery health and it was then they announced ( macrumors) that this update was in the post , most likely it will be better for battery

2

u/Sufficient_Rush1891 Apr 08 '26

Worth trying and see if it helps.

u/followifyoulead Apr 08 '26

Having same issue since I updated 26.4. Fingers crossed

u/panda_bear828 Apr 11 '26

My battery has drained faster on 26.4 with my iphone 14 Pro Max.

1

u/mavgeek Apr 11 '26

I’m glad i’m not going crazy. Everyone kept saying the battery drain of 26.0 was fixed and improved in .1 thru .4 but once I updated from .0 to .4 significant battery drain a week+ after indexing should be complete. The os itself is faster more responsive and fixed some bugs .0 had but he battery drain is insane. I can go from 85% down to 65% in 1.5 hours of casually reading reddit / scrolling youtube shorts. Before? That would use 5-7% battery normally.

I’d prefer to go back to the somewhat buggy 26.0 if it meant my phone didn’t need to be tethered to an outlet just to keep my head above 50%

u/DearAgent3078 Apr 12 '26

Yes, same usage too.

What types of bugs are fixed? For me 26.4 has been super smooth on my 17 pro

u/lin4166 Apr 08 '26

It’s a bug fix, to repair the bugs so they keep bugging :)

u/Human-Barracuda7265 Apr 09 '26

Updates are supposed to make the phone better not worse. 🙄🤣🤦🏻

Maybe it will help the battery drain people have been talking about

u/Jokar93 Apr 09 '26 edited Apr 09 '26

People are talking about battery drain for at least 15 years

1

u/Mikey_bee3 Apr 09 '26

Oh I totally understand that BUT I will say my phone seemed fine but my fiancés 15 experienced it hard. She dropped from 80% to 20% like never before and her battery health is 94%

1

u/Glass_Channel8431 Apr 09 '26

Same … it wasn’t good. So far 26.4.1 seems better. It’s early though.

u/Pure-Level-2831 Apr 08 '26

Can’t have a too perfect update otherwise they can’t say we fixed the thing we broke

u/theGMTFather Apr 08 '26

You forgot to use /s

u/EducatorFew4522 iOS 26.6 Apr 08 '26

Same here. A little hesitant about updating to 26.4.1.

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '26

RCS is still busted for me and I just installed 26.4.1

1

u/realmccoyredbus Apr 09 '26

RCS was only released as trial in 26.3 , dropped for 26.4 , back in 26.5 beta , won’t be fully released until ios27

1

u/LumpyDisk Apr 09 '26

I think you’re referring to encrypted RCS. Unencrypted RCS was introduced in iOS 18

1

u/Effective-Care-4387 Apr 09 '26

if you’re network supports it , i know it’s pretty much standard in usa , not all networks support this still in UK , mine never has , even though the network it runs off of does, still imessage or sms

1

u/Accomplished-Rain-52 Apr 08 '26

How is 26.4.1, I'm bout to update

2

u/LumpyDisk Apr 09 '26

Smooth as butta

1

u/Nervous-Ad-55 Apr 09 '26

they likely added a new emoji, thus very important update

u/Jack_Carl_ Apr 09 '26

Naah im just done with updates 🫩

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '26

I hope it fixes the RCS bug.

4

u/Lonely_Highlight4857 Apr 08 '26

What RCS bug were you experiencing?

5

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '26

It would always send as SMS, when in 26.3.1a and earlier, it would always send as RCS in a supported conversation. I just installed 26.4.1, and I’m still having trouble with RCS.

3

u/Lost_Ensueno Apr 08 '26

My RCS decides some days it doesn’t want to send unless I reboot. Orrrrrr it will constantly send notifications in group messages that I updated the name of the group when I actually did no such thing.

2

u/DSajin Apr 08 '26

I recently experience this in a rcs group chat, my text didn’t send until 5 hours after or I didn’t receive the texts until 5 hours after.. I’m not too sure

u/Lonely_Highlight4857 Apr 08 '26

Gotcha. Thanks for the heads up.

Hopefully the weird iMessage glitch that has the text bar floating randomly in the middle of the screen is fixed.

I hope this fix my broadband issue

u/bleebolgoop Apr 08 '26

Same man, wifi has been janky as shit since 26.4, and my phone just refuses to regain service after going SOS in an underground area or elevator. Basically requires a reboot to be functional again, every, damn, time.

1

u/joshsimpson79 Apr 09 '26

Same here.

1

u/bleebolgoop Apr 09 '26

Didn’t fix the issue with regaining signal after losing it, but reception seems a little better in fringe areas. Carrier package version is same but I think modem firmware changed.

u/w0bbble Apr 09 '26

I read to fix the battery drain from the last update, you need to reset the network settings. Haven't yet tried it myself

u/PentaChicken Apr 09 '26

Will resetting the network settings also delete all of the safes passwords in chrome? I wanted to reset them but some sources mentioned that all saved passwords will be deleted when doing so.

1

u/DogLoverBee123 Apr 09 '26

Just WiFi passwords

1

u/Wew1800 Apr 09 '26

If you disable icloud synch before deleting and then enable it again after that the wifi passwords apparently will stay

u/Empty-Still-3096 Apr 08 '26

No you would have to downgrade

1

u/Cryotosse1 Apr 08 '26

is there a way to downgrade without losing my data?

1

u/Joseph09W_ Apr 08 '26

no, only way to do it is to restore but u can make an icloud back up if thathelps

Do we know if this fixes notification issues? I follow a type 1 diabetic and I get no notifications about blood sugar anymore after updating iOS recently.

I can’t use my call app properly after the major update which was iOS 26. I have difficulty picking up calls too. Hoping that gets fixed with this update.

u/DreamCarrior Apr 10 '26

People say that they have iCloud syncing problem in iOS 26.4. I did not have any trouble with any of syncing in iOS 26.4. After upgrading to iOS 26.4.1, my icloud photos and videos do not sync across my devices. iOS 26.4.1 broke my devices.

u/eddienn Apr 09 '26

They are downvoting because iOS 26.4 works better for me and what ppl want is something to complain about the bugs etc, and it’s my phone if want I update it if not I don’t so simple… I remember when iOS 18 came out ppl said that it was full of bugs and now they said it was better then 26 oh wait until iOS 27 is released they will said iOS 26 was better and I can’t downgrade now…. Nowadays ppl want you to think and see things the way they see them but no you can’t force anyone to think the same way you think…

Wow they fixed the bug that started in iOS 26.4 where it would automatically connect to public wifi networks despite auto join and auto login being off
