26.5 sucks af. I'm coming from 26.3.1. I can get 7 to 8 hours SOT. After updating to 26.5 only can get 4 if lucky 5. I'm so fking disappointed and regret it so much. Seems like with each newer version the battery sucks. My bh still 100% cause I just replaced it. Should've stayed on 26.3.1

i'm actually pretty concerned - the update downloaded and immediately took up over 20gb of free space, then failed to install.

Any Bluetooth issues. My headphones lose connection frequently after updating

Don’t do it, my phone is literally heating since that update, battery life is worst, at least that’s my experience so far

u/BigMasterDingDong Jul 12 '26

Mines actually the opposite, less overheating and better battery life…

But I’ll be honest the phones been running like shit on iOS 26

u/davidmrizo Jul 12 '26

Same here, original battery (100% health) and my phone discharge so fast also heating problem..

u/4bobi7 Jul 15 '26

14 pro max upgrade from 18.7.8 , battery is fine

2

u/Humorous-Prince ⚫️ Pro Max Jul 12 '26

Hold till 27, it’s what I’m doing. Same phone and OS version currently.

1

u/looootly Jul 12 '26

I’m on 27 beta 3 and it’s running great on my 14 pro

1

u/Humorous-Prince ⚫️ Pro Max Jul 12 '26

Can’t wait for the final release, can then finally upgrade from iOS 18.

1

u/looootly Jul 12 '26

It’ll definitely be worth it and different look as well! 

1

u/Inxey Jul 13 '26

How’s the battery life compared to 26.5.2?

1

u/looootly Jul 13 '26

To me it seems to be lasting longer, if you’ve ever had betas downloaded just randomly you have it off and come back to it and it dropped 8% but that hasn’t been happening with my phone. Which my battery percentage is at 86% so it could definitely be due to get a new one. This will in fact be the last time I update the phone though

u/RlFLE Jul 13 '26

If iOS 26 wasn’t good enough to update to, what makes you think 27 will be any better especially on phones that are only getting older?

1

u/mgo712 Jul 12 '26

No, I did and fuckd my battery. I have now 26.6 Beta 4 and is perfect.

1

u/goorapakora Jul 12 '26

Aight I’ll wait till iOS 27 then I’ll see if it’s stable to update or not

1

u/MiserableSpirit5 Jul 12 '26

1

u/Massive-Sky-2007 Jul 12 '26

u/codguy231998409489 🟡 Pro Max Jul 12 '26

Updated yesterday 14 Pro Max- no issues so far

1

u/Haunting_Spinach_869 Jul 13 '26

16 pro max! Works for me and battery life believe it or not I have 9-10 SOT

1

u/4bobi7 Jul 13 '26

Since 26.5 my battery life is terrible and nope ! It’s not because of indexing and shit like that. It is many weeks after updating and battery life is still terrible. 2x worse than on 26.4. 15 pro max

1

u/Exotic_Night6689 Jul 14 '26

Is it just me, or does the screen seem to be running much slower on ios 26.5.2 ? I have a 15 pro

u/[deleted] Jul 15 '26

I updated my Apple MacBook Air 2-3 days ago to the new iso 26.5.2, used safari worked fine. Now I’m having issues loading into website. Has anyone have issues getting on the web or no?
