iOS 26 Draining Your Battery? Apple Says It's Normal
Apple explains that the increased battery drain after iOS 26 update is temporary due to background setup tasks and new features requiring more resources, affecting performance briefly.
- Apple released the iOS 26 update on Monday, bringing new features and security improvements to eligible iPhones.
- This release follows Apple's ongoing efforts to fix bugs and protect users from malware, although some users express concerns about battery life after updates.
- IOS 26 introduces Adaptive Power, a feature that uses on-device intelligence to predict usage patterns and adjust settings to extend battery life during typical tasks.
- Apple explains that right after installing an update—especially a significant one—users may experience short-term changes in battery usage and device temperature, which is a normal part of the setup process.
- Users should expect temporary battery drain after updating, but Apple says performance will normalize as background setup completes, suggesting the impact is short-term.
