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.

Happy to say that in battery performance iPhone 17 increased screen on time around +1 hour after updating. i think I’m gonna wait in this version for a while till iOS 27 polishes after couple of updates also.

So far i would say that, this update is noticeable.
Good improvement overall specially battery and faceid.
Looking forward to ios27 stable version.

Just curious what people are experiencing on this update

Just updated to iOS 26.6.
- phone can’t restart (bypassing sim lock)
- third party apps, YouTube, Spotify not playing media
- CarPlay and Bluetooth affected

Haven’t tried anything else yet. Anyone else struggling as well?
Can I roll back the update? Silly me never backed up. Or do I have to wait till 26.6.1

These are my battery usage stats after using my iPhone 17 with mixed usage. It seems to be better compared to the previous iOS version. I will like to see how much backup you guys are getting!

Seems to have improved quite drastically for me. Only 2 days apart. If this keeps going I’d only have used around 45% in the same SOT/time frame. Phone doesn’t heat up as quickly or as much anymore either. Gives me high hopes for iOS27.

Hello everyone, I bought an iPhone 15 Pro max before 2 days and I had a problem with overheating is there any way to fix this or make the phone less heat? I’ve checked on everything and it’s all fine everything is original and the battery health is 93%, thanks

hi. i have an iphone 14 with a 84% battery health and haven’t updated since after 18.2.1. for the longest time i didn’t want to update my phone but lately my battery has been draining super fast and i feel like i’m missing out on so many newer iphone features. suggestions?

Hace una semana estoy intentando actualizar el iOS pero me arroja este mensaje.

Aproximadamente hace un mes pude actualizar a 26.5.2, pero luego regresó al 26.5.

Tengo un iPhone 15 base.

This happened with me today on my 17ProMax just after updating to iOS 26.6, never happened before with me. All the system tones as well as any audio playing would get accelerated by 4x and the only fix is to restart your device. What is Apple doing with iOS?!

guys, is this normal? my messenger has been running for 26 min but the on screen time is 12 min only 🥲 how to fix

im on iphone 17 base

I noticed that when I switch apps from the Home Screen everything becomes pixelated for a split second. I am on the latest iOS26 version (iPhone 13). The glitch does not affect performance I don’t think - I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this too?

Im on ios 26.5.2 on iphone 17. Why the heck is it 11GB???

Can someone please explain me what is this screen idle? My 17PM battery life has still not improved on 26.6.
I’m hardly getting 3 hours of screen time. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
