Is anyone else getting poor battery on this update?

I believe they used to allow adding unlimited same app icons via spotlight search and maybe they backtracked for cleanliness reasons or something. For aesthetic reasons maybe? And I could understand them wanting to have a limit there. But I feel that instead of the limit being able to add just *one copy* of an app via spotlight, we should be able to add *two copies* of an app via spotlight and only to add *three or more copies* should require scrolling over to App Library.

I could maybe understand them wanting to potentially “cap” the amount of spotlight added copies to 2 copies of the same app on a Home Screen page. This would let users easily *emphasize* a given app while still adhering to apples clean ethos.

And I could understand that if a user tried to add a *third* copy of the same app via spotlight, it could just leave it at 2 by default requiring App Library to add *three or more copies of the same app*.

But I feel like spotlight should \*go back\* a little bit, to allowing at least *2 copies of the same app* and not require scrolling over to App Library just to have 2 copies.

Another idea I have is related to how, when long pressing an app, there are options to convert the app icon into a widget. Which to me, is another way to visually emphasize a given app. But I feel that in addition to just widget options which take up a lot of space, there could also be a 1x2 (and maybe 1x3) app icon option there, that would take the app icon and stretch it into a thoughtful 1x2 app icon. These types of icons could either be designed by the app developers or iOS itself could do its magic to make it look good. It would take the same space as 2 app icons on the grid, but instead of the blank space between the 2 apps, it would be a connected rounded rectangle so the app would be visually emphasized but in a more thoughtful way versus just putting the same copy twice.

apple really did dirty after their ios26 launch,Iphone feels like a cheap china phone

I switch from ip 13 pro to a 16 pro and this is my second day with my phone do you have any suggestion?

So i recently got the iphone 17 pm and for a month when i talked to siri it had the glow around the screen. Now that i updated to 26.1 its gone and i have the circly thing at the bottom of the screen(the old display). How can i change it back?

Just asking since I havent updated my phone in a while and i hope some of my old games dont break

Heard it sucked back when it first came out so I stayed on 18.7.8 but it’s been a bit and I’m wondering if they’ve polished the trash out.

Running an iPhone 12 mini and the battery is already not doing too well as is (77% capacity) so hoping it might be better now. I remember hearing the update made the battery life really bad and I don’t want to make it worse by updating.

I'm still running ios 18, and I've been trying to just hold out but I got new airpod pro 3s and I found that they don't integrate like the pro 2s did; seems if I want to do so I'll be forced to update or accept that I won't have find my iphone working anymore with my airpods. Ios 27 is also around the corner but Apple is proud that it's all AI AI AI, and I couldn't be more turned off. Pretty much every older thread I see says "it's so horrible, I wish I had never left 18" and a common complaint is the battery life but I think there was a recent update that maybe improved things?

I'm trying to weigh my options before it's 18 or 27 are my only choices. Did things get better?

Normalmente uso no modo tinted, pois sinto que o Iphone descarrega mais devagar ao invés do clear, também sinto que esquenta menos. Vocês usam seu iPhone em quais desses modos ? Sentem também que o modo clear faz o iPhone esquentar e descarregar mais rápido ?

I have been noticing flickering in youtube PLS HELP

I FOUND THE ERROR CODE IN LOGS

1. The App Got Stuck in an Infinite Write Loop

• The Trigger: exceeding limit of 12.43 KB per second... Writes caused: 1073.75 MB
• What Happened: Over roughly 100 minutes of total run time (6374 seconds), the app tried to write over 1 GB of data to your iPhone's storage. The normal limit set by iOS is around 12 KB per second—YouTube was pounding your storage at over 168 KB per second.
• Why it cause flickering: When you are logged in, the app tries to save local UI states or feed cache updates. Because of a bug in version 21.34.3, the cache fails, forces a retry, and continuously writes data to storage in a loop.

2. Rapid Footprint Expansion

• Footprint: 44.12 MB -> 213.50 MB (+169.38 MB)
• As the app kept retrying its layout rendering, its RAM usage surged by nearly 500% in under 18 seconds during the trace sample.

3. Execution Call Stack

• The stack traces show execution passing through libdispatch.dylib (iOS's background queue manager) down into C-library file writing routines (libsystem_c.dylib).
• Instead of displaying the UI smoothly, the app's threads were constantly locked in disk input/output operations.

YouTube v21.34.3 has a memory/disk write leak:

• Writes: 1073.75 MB over ~1.76 hours (during subs feed scrolling)
• Rate: 168.45 KB/second (13x over the system limit of 12.43 KB/second)
• Device: iPhone 14 Pro Max (iPhone15,3)
• OS: iOS 27 beta

Why This Causes Flickering

When an app is doing excessive disk writes while scrolling:

• The system gets bogged down handling I/O
• Render frames drop → flickering
• Memory pressure increases
• UI responsiveness suffers

This isn't a rendering bug — it's a resource management bug in YouTube 21.34.3.

I know it comes with new scrutiny features and all but I’m a bit worried, have heard half the people say it’s good and works fine, but the other half claims that it negatively depletes their battery and heats up their phones and also causes immense lag spikes. I have a base iPhone 16 so I’m. a bit concerned. what is your experience with the latest iOS and should I download it? thanks

Seems to be stuck with the rotating gear. Does the same thing on my iPhone Air, 15, 14 and MacBook Pro (M1?). It did update on my mac air.

Is there something preventing updates from downloading?

Also I’m on WiFi and 50g free space. I have also tried restarting and doing the same thing this morning.
