iOS 26 Battery Drain: Apple Confirms It’s ‘Normal’ and Temporary Post-Update

Following the recent release of iOS 26, many iPhone users have reported experiencing faster-than-usual battery drain. Apple has addressed these concerns, stating that this behavior is normal and temporary.

The tech giant explained that after a major software update like iOS 26, devices require time to complete essential background processes. These include indexing data for search, downloading new assets, and updating applications, all of which can temporarily impact battery life and thermal performance.

While Apple assures users that the increased drain is part of the setup process and will subside, it also noted that personal usage patterns could contribute. New features introduced in iOS 26 may demand more resources, potentially causing a slight, temporary impact on performance and battery life depending on how actively they are used.

Users are advised that any significant battery issues should resolve themselves once the device has fully optimized after the update.
