Is this normal?

Is this normal?

I have had iphone 16 pro max for around one year now. And battery is very bad lately. It has 91% battery health and 340 cycles. I run ios 26.4. Any tips?

Guess who got a free replacement...

So 2x now ive chatted with apple support, the 2nd time it was the senior support and he decided to do the Screen sharing function to help me go through the settings and such,

My whole issue is the phone wasnt shutting off, it would ether sit on the lock screen like in the photo and NOT Shut off or sit like this but on the Homescreen until i press power or reboot the device... so guy on support said for me to set the auto lock to 30 seconds... I did the phone sat there not going to sleep than we saw my screen randomly moving by it's self.... i never touched it... apparently the phone had the Ghost touch issue which was causing me all these issues to begin with! it also ended up getting me a free replacement phone through apple care i was paying for!

So now Time to say goodbye to my annoying phone and old battery that never lasted much anymore! (92% with 428 charges)

It's crazy, but Instagram and Facebook consume more battery for me than heavy games. Because of that, I set up a Shortcut automation to turn on Low Power Mode whenever I open those two apps. It seems like it's saving battery, or am I just experiencing a placebo effect? Is anyone else doing this?

iOS 26.5 on my iPhone 16 Pro Max is truly amazing!

Despite the rumours and my initial updating hesitation, I’ve finally updated my phone and it’s running smoothly and incredibly fast. You can definitely tell the difference. I always trust Apple’s team.

iOS 26.5 on 16 PM

Really happy with how my 16 PM has been running on iOS 26. Started out pretty buggy, which is to be expected, but Apple has really knocked out a lot of those bugs, at least for me. I hope everyone else is having the same smooth experience in iOS 26 as I have. Battery seems really good too! If anyone is wondering if they should update or not, I’d definitely update to 26.5. Pretty smooth!

I bought a used iPhone 16 Pro Max with 95% battery health. Is this a good Screen On Time

€1,450 for this? Insane battery drain, overheating, and camera failure on iOS 26.5

This battery drain is absolute garbage when I've done practically nothing with the phone. On top of that, it starts overheating out of nowhere. A few days ago I was in a snowy area and the camera completely died on me—just a black screen and a "not recognized" error. What the actual hell is this? Did I really pay €1,450 for this?

The same charger I've been using for years (previously with my 14PM) no longer overcomes overnight power draw

Title. It's a slow charger, but it was never a problem before. Granted, things degrade, but this is in line with the horrific battery drain on the 16PM with iOS 26 I've been having.

In fact, the same cable and charger used to be connected to a wireless charging puck, so it used to be even less efficient, and that was fine too. Always woke up to a 100% charge.

I'm confused

After going through the 16 Pro Max subreddit, I can only see that people who are on iOS 26 or later are having so many problems with battery life. They are getting 5 to 6 hours. Some people are also showing positive results, but I mostly notice the negative ones. So, I'm confused all of a sudden about the 16 Pro Max. I heard it had good battery life, but after visiting the 16 Pro Max subreddit, I'm sad now.

Anybody got a non working phone

I need a new back and they expensive but if I were to buy a broken phone with a perfectly fine back I’d be good 👍 unless someone knows how to get a back replacement for cheaper than 200 dollars

iPhone 16 pro max battery iOS 26.5

Anyone else experiencing horrible battery with iOS 26.5?

Battery health is at 100% 14 cycles as my device is brand new from Apple (express replacement) and it’s setup as new not restored from a backup

Batter life on 16 PM

Guys this is so bad

Battery health is 98%

My old iPhone 14 Pro Max has better battery life after 3 years of use with 81% battery health

This performnce takes away so much from the joy of having this phone

Can’t install iOS 26.5 no matter what

I’ve tried many things, restarts, delete apps, network settings reset etc. and nothing works. Any help?

Not a Fan

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m really not a fan of the new Spotify Icon. Is it just a phase? Is it permanent?

Saúde da Bateria em aproximadamente 1 ano de uso

Usado pela primeira vez em 28 de maio de 2025, carregamento limitado a 80% de carga e Carregamento Otimizado ativado.

Diariamente, registro vídeos e fotos através do app Câmera ou de apps de terceiros, como o Blackmagic Cam. Minha média de uso diário é de 110-120%.

Sabendo disso, a Capacidade Máxima da bateria e o Número de Ciclos estão adequados à sua idade?

———————————————————————————————

Lembrando que o ciclo é contabilizado de forma acumulativa a cada vez que se carrega 100%.

Exemplo: em um estado inicial de 5% de carga, se o iPhone for carregado até 80%, descarregado até 20% e carregado até 80% novamente, resultará na adição de 1 ciclo ao Número de Ciclos, restando 35% de carga para a contabilização do próximo ciclo.

Pode ser demonstrado através da seguinte expressão matemática:
[(carga final - carga inicial) + (carga final - carga inicial)…] / 100.

Adaptando-a à situação:
[(80% - 5%) + (80% - 20%)] / 100 = 135% / 100 = 1 ciclo e 35% restantes pro próximo ciclo.
