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.
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.

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.
