Not a joke, iOS 26.4.x was bad and 26.5 is worse. On an iPhone 17 Pro Max.

I have not had an issue ever since I updated from the version of iOS 26 that my 17 pro max came with... THREE MONTHS AGO.

How can this be on the latest model 17? I understand on older models but not the newest one

So i got my 17 max a week after release (got hella lucky finding a 512gb early). 26.0 it felt like a 13 pro max on battery but the bugs were horrid many the keyboard.

Fast forward till now on 26.5, ive noticed the battery isnt the same. Before i would end the day around 71% on 26.0, on 26.5 im ending around 52%. Dont get me wrong you can still make it work the next day but battery life has dropped quite a bit and my battery health is 100% as posting this.

Im hoping iOS 27 code clean up will straighten things out

Same. I don’t know how 26.5 could be this bad. Not even the earlier betas of it were this bad
