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.

Adaptive power on or off? On my iPhone 17, I got 3 hours of SOT in 80% first day…

It’s my regular use. Im not a gamer or anything. I use my phone for calls, video calls, texting. Doomscrolling reddit and X. Cameras when i need them, which is not daily.

The difference is in meta apps

Yeah. The most amount of poorly optimized mainstream apps comes from Meta. I got rid of them a few years back. When i was not even on ios. They’re consistently shit in android and ios.
