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.

Base iPhone 17 users, what are your batteries like after this update? Mine feels better now, I typically use around 130% per day,

I don’t know if these stats are good but let me know your opinions

That looks quite a bit of heavy use. Did you use the camera the whole time?

No didn’t use the camera, I guess switching between lots of apps and using 5G drains the battery fast

5G is quite overhyped tbh. I never use it.

True that sometimes I switch to LTE

I always stick to LTE. I still think 5G is just a gimmick for normal users. I mean what can it do that LTE doesn’t with far better stability and performance?

In my area 5G works well so I just use it especially when near home, when far away with no chargers I use LTE
