Apple responds to iOS 26 quick battery drain and overheating issues, stating that it usually returns to normal within a few days.

Tech media 9to5Mac published a blog post on September 15th, reporting that Apple has launched a new support page explaining potential impacts on iPhone battery life and performance shortly after updating to the iOS 26 system. Apple emphasizes the importance of system updates for iPhones and their potential effects on devices on the support page. The article not only explains the differences between major and minor updates but also systematically addresses users' concerns about changes in battery life and performance. Apple also points out that new features in iOS 26 may improve user experience, but some features may continue to consume more processing power and battery. For example, if users frequently use resource-intensive features, they may experience slight changes in battery life and performance over the long term. However, this situation depends on individual usage habits, and not all users will encounter it. Apple emphasizes that these short-term performance fluctuations after updates are normal and typically stabilize within a few days. The company will continue to optimize features in future software updates to maintain good battery performance and smooth user experience.
