After dealing with terrible battery backup on my iPhone 16 Pro (97% battery health, 271 cycle count), I finally turned off Motion & Transparency effects and kept Low Power Mode enabled since morning.
For the first time in a while, the battery life actually feels normal.
Honestly feels sad that I have to disable features and constantly use Low Power Mode just to get decent battery performance for my day to day stuff from a flagship phone. iOS 26’s Glass OS style looks flashy, but for me it’s been one of the worst updates in terms of both performance and visual designs.
