Can't wait for this to fix one bug and cause two more, as is the pattern with their software lately.

I hope this makes the battery to somwhere near iOS 18 standards..but somehow I know it won't as Liquid Glass is like Galatus the soul destroyer of batteries.
Here is some irony. My 2.5 year old iPhone 15 actually has the best battery life its ever had on 26.3. I get 6 hours of screen on time and my battery health is 86%. My 1.5 year old iPad Pro M4 on the other hand is at 93% battery healthy and I also get around 6 hours of screen on time. It's terrible.

Software optimization is KEY!

So it isn’t just me! Every single update of iOS 26 (except 26.2.1 or whatever it was) fixed one bug but added at least 2 more. Some of the new bugs still haven’t gotten fixed and some got worse.

With unspecified bug fixes comes a host of new bugs. It's the whack a mole paradox.
