I have a Day 1 iPhone 16 Pro. Battery health is at 90% with 719 charge cycles. Since iOS 26, I only get 3-4 hours of screen on time. 3 hours SOT if I use lots of social media apps (which I know are battery hogs), and closer to 3 1/2 to 4 hours if I don't use social media apps. I saw a noticeable decrease in battery life when I updated to iOS 26 in Fall 2025. I kept hoping that the phone was just indexing or that a future update would fix it, but not much has changed since 26.0.

My next troubleshooting step is doing a full restore through Finder, but I don't want to go through that trouble if it's unlikely to fix anything. Has anyone had any success increasing screen-on-time with a restore?
