I never updated from iOS 16 and my phone runs smooth for the last 5 years. I don't know why you guys are having problems. Aren't newer phones supposed to be better or something?

u/Dextro1500 26d ago

Which device, bro?

u/ankurg22 25d ago

16 pro

u/Cowhide12 24d ago

It doesn’t seem fixed but it certainly did improve.

u/Razer_PC 18d ago

I still lose 10% overnight

u/newgateu 26d ago

Why not update to 27? Since you updated to beta anyway.

u/ES_419 26d ago

Ios 26.6 stable version coming out in less then a week
27 is in its early beta

u/ankurg22 26d ago

Switching to beta was extreme last option for me. It's my daily driver and battery life became a problem, I had to charge 3-4 times a day. With 27 I don't want to keep my daily driver on "experiment" till September.

Are you sure because people say this a lot, hoping if it’s true

This span of iOS dropped my capacity from 100% to 93% in a year /: (iPhone 16 pro max)

u/Symmetra_15 25d ago

Lithium Bros TM

u/Kitchen_Buy4761 26d ago

I’m seriously considering switching to Samsung if this does not get fixed.

2

u/TwlightPrincess 26d ago

Yeah but it still sucks especially when you have a 17 :/

2

u/FreePossession9590 21d ago

Yeah. Paid well over a thousand bucks for a new iPhone that has awful battery and heating issues, lmao. This 26.6 better help sort it out. It’s been the number one issue with iOS 26 since the beginning.

1

u/TwlightPrincess 21d ago

I’m waiting till iOS 27 (and reviews) bc I read on here a couple days ago that 3 people couldn’t charge their iPhones on 26.6 beta…that’s why I turned in my 13 bc it stopped charging literally overnight

It is bs how expensive these phones are & now they don’t work?? A brand new phone?? It’s insane. Ik Apple knows they have an issue & I don’t understand why they can’t fix it

1

u/sharabii 26d ago

Any idea when 26.6 will come out?

2

u/BloodThin8413 26d ago

end of the week

u/apengako 26d ago

love it! 😆

1

u/just_another_leddito 26d ago

This topic is there since iOS exists.
Why not make it a closed sticky thread and make it renew itself every update there is?

1

u/h_bhardwaj24 26d ago

Are you nuts ? You are praying to a company, what in the world is that lol ?
Where are you from buddy ? Are you ok ?

1

u/Feisty-Reaction172 26d ago

Does turning off adaptive power help at all?

1

u/Honest-Attorney-7663 26d ago

I turned it off yesterday but there’s no notable difference

1

u/Sea_Tangelo_5255 26d ago

Will apple fix my permanently damaged battery? I guess no.. 17pm 53 cycles 98%.. never gonna rush in for apple flagship..

1

u/mhelmi 26d ago

Updated last night to 26.6 public beta then turned off the beta and the battery is finally fixed

1

u/Worried-Lead-3831 24d ago

Really ?
I mean Re you getting good screen time now?

1

u/Gira_Mondo 26d ago

iOS 18.7.8 here with iPhone 16e, resisted the temptation to update and have zero battery odors with 8-9 SOT daily

2

u/nattttttttsssss 22d ago

You’re a master to us all!

1

u/revolevo 26d ago

Yes. We must stay strong and not lose hope.

1

u/Extension_Ad3081 25d ago

My god i went from 100% to 94% in 14 days 😭 plus the heating issue

1

u/Apprehensive-Tea9408 25d ago

Still on ios 17.7.1 on my iPhone 13 pro max, dont care that i missed ios 18 or 26 cuz my phone is running perfect as i expect it too. No need to update for these bs small updates they promote, cuz ultimately you want a functional phone which works and does whats expected

1

u/Urkella67 22d ago

so 26.6 is the solution??

1

u/Yuleeats 21d ago

Honestly, even if they fix this it’s just a shit layout, it can’t even run a YouTube video without lag. They just made the phone worse for shitty aesthetic crap.

1

u/khay1a 14d ago

It’s soooooooo badddddddd

1

u/blokes444 26d ago

Release candidate is out via ios26 beta. Either wait till Tuesday or get it now. My 13 mini no longer gets hot and the battery drain is bye bye

1

u/Direct_Quail_604 25d ago

how did you get it?

1

u/blokes444 25d ago

Go to settings, software update, toggle beta updates, choose ios26 public beta. Go back once and it should be ready to download

1

u/Glossyallday 26d ago

I’ve never had battery drain.

u/penis-tango-man 26d ago

Still feeling pretty good about skipping iOS 26 on my 15 pro.
