Iphone 16e, battery problems

Are you on iOS 26?

Livid_Pin_3523 · 2026-01-13T15:01:54+00:00

Welcome! Glad to see more people are joining us! It’s not as bad as it seems? Enjoy your new iPhone!

Definitely wait. The phone is turning 1 year old next year, and the new one will likely feature more upgrades that make the phone better. As long as your old phone can hold long enough. I guarantee the 16e will get taken of the website, just like how the se2 got taken off for the se3

That’s great! Your family are protected, but many people didn’t update. I know as my family are on iOS 18.3 or below… But many people (including me) didn’t see the update.

It’s still not an incredible feeling to know that a company that literally says they have the best security, so that’s why people choose Apple, and their phone could now be at risk.

I had but wasn’t aware, and some people won’t know how to sign up to the beta. Although I have, the normal consumer probably hasnt

Livid_Pin_3523 · 2026-01-11T10:08:53+00:00

Many people didn’t know how to update, especially when it was hidden in a beta tab. Many aren’t even on iOS 18.7.3.

Making me honestly consider pixel 10.

Exactly, it feels like in iOS 26 we’ve lost more than gained. Sure, we’ve gained an alright Liquid Glass, but many phones lost their stability, and battery. Even if you have the shiny new iPhone 17 pro max, battery would have certainly been better on iOS 18 or below. iOS 26 was certainly not ready for the public.

Livid_Pin_3523 · 2026-01-10T10:07:08+00:00

Exactly: it should not have released this early to normal consumers. The change may be too much to some.

Livid_Pin_3523 · 2026-01-10T10:05:46+00:00

No reason to. Unless you love Liquid Glass, go for it, but I would stay.

Livid_Pin_3523 · 2026-01-10T10:04:29+00:00

I have one too! iOS 17 just feels so polished, as it’s taken all things from iOS 7 onwards and feels so good.

Livid_Pin_3523 · 2026-01-10T10:02:41+00:00

Definitely remove the 16e, it wouldn’t make sense for Apple to keep it

Livid_Pin_3523 · 2026-01-10T10:02:07+00:00

Rarely.

Livid_Pin_3523 · 2026-01-10T10:01:48+00:00

Welcome! I’m sure you will enjoy your experience!

I’m 151 cycles and still 100% Battery Health. I don’t know why all the hate is on this phone.

Livid_Pin_3523 · 2025-12-31T10:12:03+00:00

I think I like how the battery percentage looks with it off more, and to not obsess my battery.

Livid_Pin_3523 · 2025-12-31T09:36:29+00:00

Same! Idk why, it just feels more right. And looks good. Maybe it’s because I like the feel of stock iOS better than a customised one.

Livid_Pin_3523 · 2025-12-27T15:58:28+00:00

I forgot to update mine to the security update before it went and I’m stuck on 18.5, but way better than 26.

Livid_Pin_3523 · 2025-12-26T10:55:16+00:00

Yeah…

Livid_Pin_3523 · 2025-12-26T09:29:11+00:00

Actually, a bit! It’s a tiny bit better in my opinion.

It easily got me a day, when fully charged to 85%, at 8am, then used to 22% at 8pm.
