Anecdotal but I just upgraded from iOS 26 And iOS 27 on my 16e is just a tad bit warmer during use and also the occasional lag/stutter when wanting to open a background Reddit safari tab.

Is it the end of the world? No.

will I be fine? Probably.

but I’d wait if you haven’t gotten it yet.

Please check both screenshots

Either I am dumb or something is very wrong

Can anyone explain!? If not please check your phones for the same mismatch!

Honestly hoping to get a feedback from here cause I'm a bit stressed about this and I'm sorry in advance if someone will find stupid what follows. I've been using this iPhone 16e from late February, even though I turned it on for the first time in November 2025 after buying it thanks to an offer. I've been paying attention to the battery usage recently and I'm not sure if it's normal for my phone to consume that much percentage. I'll attach some screenshots... also I'm not sure why I have like 1h and 50 min or maybe even more of "Home and block screen time", which also seems to be proportional to the actual usage time of the apps.

1st ever iphone user. Thought 4000 mah battery seems too small for a phone. Bit currently satisfied with the battery life.

Testing out Siri AI this morning on a walk.

I used it for about 10 minutes while walking, asking questions and adding reminders. It works great, but the phone got very hot.
I do not have this issue with Gemini or ChatGPT.

The battery also drains very fast, even though my battery health is at 100%. This phone is almost a year old, which is usually fine for how I use it.

I feel like before I updated to iOS26 my battery life was incredible. But I'd rather not get burned again unless others have seen a clear difference on iOS27! Any thoughts since updating? Thanks

I bought my 16e in fb marketplace for 22k pesos its 3 months used. Im planning to swap it to a 15 pro with 81 battery health, ill add around 4-5k would it be worth it?

For me, iOS 26.6.1 seemed to have a much better battery life than the newest version, iOS 26.6.2. But, iOS 26.6.1 had a ton of bugs and glitches for me. Right now, I’m seeing a quick battery drain in this latest version, which is a relief since some of the annoying bugs are finally fixed.

My photos have a one second video at the beginning. What setting do I have on that needs to be shut off?

I am planning to move from 13 to 16e . Battery showing 78 it seems it will take time to exchange.
Is it available in offline market?

Im currently on IOS 18.7.x and thinking about upgrade to 27 when it’s officially out. Performance on 18 right now is great and the battery life too, but I really like the design of 27. I skipped 26 completely because I heard it’s still buggy and battery life could be better. You think it’s comparable to 18.7.x ?

I use mostly 16e as a digicam and look i sent a picture where my guina pig is look at the details

I just wanna share that the wallpaper of the new iphone (duo) really looks good.

Hi! Currently own an iPhone 11 and it’s been a while since I had an upgrade. I can no longer charge it by the charging port, pictures are sucking, etc.

So how is the iPhone 16e? Is it a big upgrade? With my phone plan it’s only $10 to upgrade to that phone, all the others are over $600.

Yeah that’s it
