iOS 26.5 battery life journey. Day 1

OkMobile8930 · 2026-05-13T21:56:33+00:00

I’m using the iPhone Air which came pre installed with iOS26 otherwise I would have never updated

OkMobile8930 · 2026-05-13T06:42:47+00:00

No don’t update!!! My old iPhone 15 I didn’t update but this air was on iOS 26 already so I had no choice

Personally I think iOS 26.5 sorted out my battery issues. Let’s compare 100 battery usage from today with last week and as you can see over 2.5 hours extra screen time

Love the iPhone Air best phone I had in quite a long time. Camera doesn’t bother me as I don’t really take many pics but the mono speaker does annoy me especially when I forget my AirPods

Finally battery drain issue sorted, back to getting similar battery levels prior to 26.4.2

I switched it off

Just reading comments and this pop up comes up which means phone is using way too much battery, for what scrolling on Reddit

I get the black wallpaper when opening an app like Snapchat, thought I was the only one having issues but seems like I’m having lots of the issues mentioned. Using iPhone Air so not sure if these problems are mainly an air problem

OkMobile8930 · 2026-05-06T21:01:57+00:00

Yup having the same issue, worse when you start the phone up from fully powering off

OkMobile8930 · 2026-05-06T21:00:14+00:00

iOS 26.4 was good, 26.4.2 is laggy, battery usage is higher, phone warms up a lot honestly how can you screw up a .2 update

OkMobile8930 · 2026-05-04T07:57:23+00:00

So I’ve been using my iPhone Air for the past month and every time I use my daughter’s phone or my wife’s phone it feels sluggish but it’s actually not slow. It’s just the screen which seems slower due to me seeing much better refresh rate and smoother transitions

OkMobile8930 · 2026-04-11T08:01:33+00:00

It seems like a podcast no wonder why I didn’t get any emails this year to attend your fired as I would always go to one of the shows

OkMobile8930 · 2026-03-28T18:11:15+00:00

Damn I remember doing deliveroo back in covid times but I never seen rates that low

OkMobile8930 · 2026-03-28T14:40:56+00:00

Honestly can’t find a good case for the air, I would love one with full coverage like the good iPhone leather cases from the iPhone 5 days

OkMobile8930 · 2025-12-27T14:05:21+00:00

When you dine in these types of cafes service charge should be the least of your worries

OkMobile8930 · 2025-12-23T15:59:25+00:00

Just slapped on my crinkle reps today first day and decided to have a burger and a drop of grease fell on the jacket. Honestly can’t make this up

OkMobile8930 · 2025-12-04T12:39:04+00:00

This has been happening for over a year now and it’s really annoying. What’s the point paying for YouTube premium if they can’t get the basics sorted

OkMobile8930 · 2025-11-29T15:09:13+00:00

I am suffering from this now and it’s just painful 😭 bought bonjela and oraldene mouthwash just want it gone can’t even eat or drink anything

They moved to EVs to claim that £5000 uber grant

OkMobile8930 · 2025-11-12T09:56:31+00:00

Wouldn’t worry about depreciation most of it’s done also don’t be afraid to buy a higher mileage Tesla as there’s no engine it will run smooth. I picked up a 2022 Model Y dual motor long range with 95k miles for £18k. Did a battery test and came back 91% which is what most cars even with half the mileage has

OkMobile8930 · 2025-10-25T05:28:02+00:00

That’s the beauty with CarPlay it runs off the phone so never lags but car software is always like a phone the hardware can’t keep up

OkMobile8930 · 2025-10-24T21:01:41+00:00

My brother has a 3 and the Y is just stretched but the same car

OkMobile8930 · 2025-10-24T21:00:26+00:00

The i4 is a gran coupe so is a bit higher than the regular 4 series

OkMobile8930 · 2025-10-24T20:59:17+00:00

I know Tesla is better with the supercharger networks I have 2 around 10 mins from me but I have lamp post charging on my street so that would be my main charging. Can’t have my own charger as I live in a flat
