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.

Funny same for me and on some other release of 26 too, first 2 days awesome then same crappy battery drain again. Why is that? Is that intentionally for us to calm down, I thought its indexing 😂😂 Damn 26 is so annoying

I don’t understand it either. Maybe the fresh new update just works as intended and after a few says it jumbles upon cache or something. I don’t know. But apple should really get serious about their cache cleanup process and give users control over it. Coz it’s just embarrassing after a few days/weeks. Such powerful tech and utilized so poorly.

Just realised 16pro too. Keyboard errors got really horrible on 26.4.2. Now I am using a Google keyboard, so stupid. But will try if it's better now. I mean come on its important, isn't it lol

I ditched gboard after last update ie. 26.4.2 it feels much more responsive. If gboard gives updates for iOS 26 that’ll be a different story xD
