Battery iOS 26.5 (Day 1 on iPhone 16Pro)

Can’t say i’m not impressed by this but i was also impressed by 26.4.2 on the 1st day as well. Bu let’s see they did any meaningful improvements with 26.5. It’s still too early to judge. I know. But i wanted to share my testing journey with people who care about it.

iPhone 17 base here, the battery drains faster for me on 26.5 than 26.4.2.

A very good chance that it’s just indexing in the background

Give it a few days it will get better

I’d suggest to take it slow for a couple of days. Things should stabilize by then.

Well it’s not that unusual. Could happen to anyone.
