Installed iOS 26.6 on 16 Pro Max, so far so good
As titled, just updated my 16 Pro Max to 26.6 and I’m pleased to report that so far, the experience seems pretty good.
The phone was warm during the update itself but took very little time after completion to feel completely normal. The fluidity in animations has also seemingly returned, and gone are the micro stutters that plagued scrolling across the homepages/ app list/ Safari etc. I haven’t encountered any bugs/ visual glitches but it’s only been a few hours since the update so take that with a pinch of salt. It’s also a bit too early to say anything concrete about battery life but the fact that the phone is cool gives me optimism (from my experience, the warmer the phone ran, the quicker its juice drained).
As always, this is just my experience on my specific device so YMMV. If you’ve also updated yourself, feel free to share your experience below :)
