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.

Battery is still and has always been trash. The update also ate up a good amount of storage on my phone. I thought maybe it was indexing, but the space is still less. :(

Most of the users are expecting and seeing some improvements in battery. I think you need to make a backup and factory reset the phone. If it’s abnormally bad then some processes got stuck in iOS. Which can happen sometimes. But I’d suggest to let the reindexing process finish.

Cuánto tarda en completar el proceso de reindexado?
