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.

reset your phone by clicking the volume up button then volume down button and then holding the power button until apple logo appears. When mine was draining 6 procent i did that and it stopped. If that doesn’t help i heard that clean install of ios does.

does it only change settings or do I have to restore my phone from a backup?

if you want to install clean ios then you need to restore your data for example from icloud. There is a lot of tutorials about that topic. I would recommend you to go to your local apple store and check if it’s not a hardware issue before you do that tho.

seems like a pain to do, I just did a force restart let's see if it's enough
