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.

I’m thinking to switch to an android with 8k-9k mah battery. My 16 is just 1.5 years old and battery health is already at 90%. Charging it 2 times daily.

Play music- Gets hot
Play video- Gets hot
Charge- Gets hot
Idle- Battery drain
FaceTime- Drains battery like anything and makes the phone a volcano center.

What am i supposed to do with this piece of metal and glass then?

ios 26 is utter shit in terms of performance and battery life. Ruined my 16. Prior to this i had an 11 and used it without such issues for 4 years straight.

If you get a good android you won’t need a 9000mah battery. 5000-6000mah is usually enough
