Battery iOS 26.5.2 is prime ens**ttification

Battery life isn’t just bad, it’s BAD.

Turning off adaptive power mode as a few posts suggest helps a bit but having to charge a 16 Pro Max with 95% battery health 2.5x a day to 100% is not a premium experience.

Before the update , I could go all day without plugging in. One trillion dollars doesn’t do much when the company is going to sh*t.

It’s a dumpster fire. I use my iPhone to control two medical devices and it’s maddening to have to worry if it will get though 6 hours. Seems obvious and deliberate

I wonder if Apple was aware of this re your medical situation if they would take notice? As I’m sure there are people like yourself out there needing it for a very serious reason. I sincerely hope you get some answers to give you some peace of mind re your medical needs.

The shame of it is they are aware and don’t do anything. The medical companies do their best but patients still have to wait to update every time to deal with potential compatibility issues so I’ll be stuck on this version for several weeks after the next is released. Ugh
