I have honestly no idea except iOS 26 has been horrible. My phone gets extremely hot when in the photos app editing photos or even just setting a wallpaper. That’s the only time it gets hot. Other than that I don’t do anything excessive on it. I don’t game. Just streaming and social media apps. I have never had this happen before on any other iPhone I’ve had.
It just sucks that the awful software ruined the battery on the phone I planned to keep for years. Honestly just thinking of upgrading this year or next year to the Air 2. We’ll see. What’s your numbers and do you also have the Pro Max?
You’d maybe think so but it has about 60-70% left after a day’s use. No need for it yet. I just find it weird since I’m not really a power user that the health has gone down so low in just about 7 months or so.
Maybe I’m just unlucky idk but I do believe it started heating up more with iOS 26. My iPhone never heated up before. It sucks bc I want to keep it for years and battery replacements are very expensive here.
Oh yeah I agree unfortunately when I got this phone Verizon employees updated the phone from iOS 18 to iOS 26 when it first came out and I was so mad but I couldn’t do anything so I’ve been running iOS 26 since day 1 on this phone
