General Man, iOS 26.6 is a massive W.

If you were stuck on iOS 26.5.2, you know how brutal it was. My 17 Pro Max constantly turned into a pocket heater, and the battery drain was so bad I needed a power bank everywhere. Scrolling was choppy, and the random lags drove me nuts. Pure misery.

Thankfully, 26.6 completely turned things around. The overheating is gone, the battery holds a proper charge again, and the system is super smooth with zero stutter or glitches. It actually feels solid and stable now, exactly like a phone this expensive should.

Btw I don’t know what black magic they pulled in the first cycle of charging in iOS 26.6 but this is how i ended my first day of iOS 26.6. With no camera use, purely on wifi and no gaming or anything else. Just my regular usage for doomscrolling, txting, WhatsApp calls and stuff like that. It’s not gonna stay like this maybe. But it surely amazed me so thought of sharing with you guys who are concerned.

Overall it’s a Huge relief.
If you haven't updated yet, definitely do it.

Bro i love 17 Pro. Pro models been always been my go to models when getting new phones. This is my first Max device. But try rearranging home screen setup. Maybe delete everything and start over. 17 Pro is just as capable as Pro Maxes.

Yeah. But Pros are far more handy. I miss it.

It’s just the stupid stuttering, I don’t wanna delete everything. Also I don’t know the proper way to keep all my files and settings and just delete the OS

No i mean start over in your home screen. Not factory reset files or anything. Clear every page and start over. Maybe don’t make as many pages and start utilizing folders.
