iPhone 16 Pro Max Battery Drains Fast After iOS 26 Update

September 19, 2025 10:21 AM19

I am using an iPhone 16 Pro Max, and after installing the latest iOS 26 update, the phone has become a complete disaster in terms of battery performance. Now I need to charge my device at least twice a day, and if I use it a bit more heavily, I end up charging it three times a day just to keep it running.

This issue only started after updating to iOS 26. Apple needs to take urgent action to resolve this problem. Either release a fix for this bug as soon as possible or allow users to roll back to the previous iOS version. A flagship device should not face such a severe battery drain immediately after a software update.
