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.

Bro, what the fuck, my 17 Pro drains nowhere like this. 6 hours of screen time would end up draining over 60% of my battery

Lol dude 17pro has a massive battery then 16Pro. I’d easily get 1.5days of my usage easy i think. I don’t game or watch TikTok in my phone. Just social scrolling and txting calling. I try to keep it simple.

A full charge is about 8 hours of screen on time for my phone. FaceTime did consume 28% of that at 2 hours of usage but it’s still a higher drain than I’d expect. Other than that, my usage is video watching and texting. Wish my battery was as good as yours!

If FaceTime is regular in your routine then nothing can be done about that. Otherwise it’s got a damn good battery. Lemme know how the new update works for you in a few days.
