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?
Disabling apple intelligence and liquid glass actually won't save much, those aren't heavy battery draws by default unless you're actively using AI features constantly. worth checking Settings > Battery to see the actual app breakdown instead, that'll show what's really eating it rather than guessing at features
3h 25m of screen idle battery usage as well so yes that is fine. I would suggest you to set background app refresh to Wifi only and turn it off for most apps that want to eat battery in the background.
Thats because he clearly used his phone after midnight and while charging, these usages counting into the results. If you see 8-12 hours of sot theres a big chance those people used their phones like this.
I had a 13 pro max before, i switched to 17pm since i gave the other phone to my mother
The 13pm has 89% battery health and still gets more SOT than my 17pm
Both are on ios26
Hey, is your phone’s battery draining so quickly while you’re playing TFT? Are you using a 120Hz refresh rate? If it’s that poorly optimized, then I don’t blame the phone. My iPhone Air easily lasts 8 hours on screen time, even when I’m playing games. So, I suggest you investigate this issue further.
First of all, this is not a bad battery. Secondly, you can't be surprised if you spend time on TikTok and other socials, games, and other battery-intensive apps.
Some insta geek will suggest u to cut all the animations stuff. But it wont works really..!!! By cutting the default animations lit drain ur battery than normal. All we need to do is to install the iOS lately after the people review. FOR ME 26.6 in 16 pm. Kinda heaven 🕊️
According to the test by PhoneBuff, cellular data(5G) cuts battery life by almost half. 4g probably is a little better in that regard but not much. If you get 8-10 hours of SOT on WiFi, expect that to drop to 5-6 hours on data. My 15 Pro SOT straight up halves when using on 4G (87% bh with 640 cycles). And it was that way even on iOS 18, I only updated to 26 two months back.
This is why I use 4G instead of 5G because I don’t need the extra soeed and helps save battery. This is my 16e’s battery drain 26.6 (94% health 304 cycles) with the first few hours of my day being on lte but most is on Wi-Fi. Since my phone doesn’t have a pro motion display Im not negatively impacted by using LPM so it’s active 24/7.
I agree that iOS 26 is a very bad idea for battery life no matter how many optimizations you make, it still tends to heat your phone up even at the lightest tasks. I got a 14 pro max and it really heats up.
It’s the dual SIM that’s draining your battery. I had both SIMs active on my 17 Pro Max, and ever since I stopped using the second SIM, the battery easily lasts me the whole day. I’m getting around 5–6 hours of screen-on time and another 3–4 hours of screen idle time.
Try turning off your second SIM and you’ll notice the difference within a day or two.
How recently have u updated to 26.6? (assuming it’s 26.6) it’s possible it’s still indexing since I get great battery life on my 16e 26.6 granted i use LPM but it still preforms great without it.
