Regular old iPhone 15. Public beta. Battery life and smoothness has been absolutely perfect. No overheating or anything of the sort. I was nervous to do so because I updated on my old SE gen 2 (first developer beta) and it bricked text messages. I’ve had no issues thus far and it’s much smoother, if you’re thinking about updating on an older device go ahead!

I had no stutters but I turned off reduce motion and reduce transparency and reduce white point anyway. That’s how I had it on 26.5.2 as well. Phone is much faster now!

I had my SE 2nd gens battery replaced with an aftermarket one (don’t know what brand) and it still gets pretty good battery life. iOS 26.5 was a big improvement for how it runs and the battery life. I could probably get 5.5 hours SOT. Not bad for 1800mah! I love this little phone!
