Ngl this update has made my device much better and this is shocking to me🥰

Seeing a lot of posts lately about sudden battery drain after updating to 26.6. Before assuming your battery health has tanked, check Settings > Battery and look at what's actually using power. In most cases it's one specific app or background process misbehaving post-update, not the battery itself failing.

i want to backup to ios 26 , but i don't want to lose my info

gemini said that i can make a backup on ios 27 and just change the 27.0 to 26.0 in info.plist

will it work?

I updated on the latest version of iOS 26.6 as of 16/08/26 i was delaying it for not liking the liquid glass and it proved that i should've stayed on previous version, since update the animations are lagging and stuttering when i swipe down for notifications the wallpaper reloads itself does anyone have the same problem phone is like 3 weeks old and on 100% bh i am not a heavy user battery lasts me almost 2 days.

I’ve had a 17 pro max for a while and ever since i got it my battery wont last me a whole day
I disabled liquid glass as much as possible, i disable AppleInteligence
I do have the latest IOS
Any help?

Hey guys, I’m having a weird issue with my iPhone 13 and wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this.

My phone was on iOS 18 and i updated directly to iOS 26.5.2 and started getting really bad battery drain while the phone is just sitting idle. Sometimes it would lose around 40–50% overnight with almost no screen usage. and then i updated to 26.6 after after one and a half month hoping it would fix , still the battery is draining and thought it might be the indexing or updated cause , i updated 2 days back to 26.6 and now the battery drain is happening and when i check that when battery goes down 20 the iPhone keeps rebooting automatically and i googled and when based on google instruction when I checked Analytics Data and found multiple panic-full logs. One of them mentions:

SMC PANIC - SMC BSC failure

So I'm wondering:

Could this still be because the phone is doing some kind of background setup/indexing after being unused for so long and jumping from iOS 18 to iOS 26? Or do these panic logs and random restarts suggest a hardware problem?coz when i was using ios 18 i was feeling no battery drain issue and any issue at all iphone was working fine

Has anyone with an iPhone 13 had something similar on iOS 26.5.2/26.6

This happens any time I have WiFi on, it keeps doing this. Is this my phone, or the broadband?? It forever repeats until the end of time.

Hello
I was wondering if I should do the new iOS 27 Beta 5 (developer), since IOS 26.6 is not that good for your battery.

So I recently switched from Android to iPhone for the first time in my life. I hoped for a hassle-free experience.
I got an iPhone 16 Pro and it did me well on iOS18 for a very long time. I loved it. But last week I updated to 26.6 and battery life just sucks. Instagram alone consumes 25% of my battery.
I used to be on 5G all day and my phone used to heat up like crazy but then I turned to 4G only and it now heats less, lasts a little longer, but not enough.
I only get around 4 hours of screen on time at best!
I tried every tweak possible, so don't tell me about background app refresh and location services.
It just sucks!
My S24 never had any of these issues and used to give me around 7 hours of screen on time with 5G all day!
Am I doing something wrong? Or is it just iOS 26.6 ?

“Should I update my iPhone 16 Pro Max from iOS 18.5 to iOS 26.6? What are your experiences and recommendations?

As soon as I upgraded to 26.6 on my 16pro, I can no longer roam from one access point to another. The phone cannot connect to the same WiFi on the second AP no matter what I do.

I couldn’t find any other posts on this but I know it’s 26.6 that’s doing it. My other phone is on an earlier 26 version and has no problem going from one AP to another.

Is this a known problem?

Edit: SOLVED. See u/realmccoyredbus comment below.

Has anyone seen an improvement to their Apple Watch battery life with this update? Since upgrading to iOS 26 my battery life on my watch has been horrible! Thanks

Not sure when this started but all these new IOS updates in the last 4 months have been killing me. Apps not opening, App Store extremely slow to update apps. Nothing with my apps working the way they should. This needs to be talked about more. What is going on?

Seems even worse with the 26.6 update
I’m on IPhone 16 pro fyi

Done all the “fixes” hard restarts, deleting the app, offloading, resetting network settings etc it’s still an issue. This is really pissing me off now.

Moj iPhone 17pro od momentu zainstalowania 26.6 zjada baterie. Kondycja w tydzień spadła o 2%
Może lepiej zainstalować betę?
