iOS 26 is there, and if you have noticed a drop in the life of your battery since the update, you probably do not imagine it.
This has long been a belief among Apple users that the battery performance of an iPhone decreases – at least temporarily – after updating a new operating system.
Apple himself recognizes that there can be a drop in battery performance on a Page dedicated to software updates.

“Immediately after completing an update, in particular a major version, you may notice a temporary impact on battery life and thermal performance. This is normal, because your device needs time to complete the configuration process in the background, including indexing data and files for research, downloading new active ingredients and updating of applications.
The new features are exciting and help you get even more from your Apple product, although some may require additional resources from the device. Depending on individual use, some users may notice a small impact on performance and / or battery life. Apple continually strives to optimize these features in software updates to ensure large battery life and a fluid user experience. “”
However, iOS 26 could also be the answer to the battery problems of your iPhone, as well as the cause.
IOS 26 is delivered with battery management tools, which, according to my experience, in fact helped me to maintain a load more reliable after update. The new software has a feature called “adaptive power”, which should work in the background to make adjustments to save your battery. This could mean a gradation of your screen, let activities at low priority take a little more time or automatically activate the low power mode when your load is low. The new operating system also has a feature that tells you how long you need to charge 80%, which is a personal favorite update. I found that it helped me load my phone more effectively.
So yes, the life of your battery can be a little broken down with iOS 26. But it should also be easier to manage.
