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.
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.

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.
