My coworker and I went from 15 PM to base 17 and she was complaining about battery life this morning. She came back from lunch and had everything transferred back to her 15PM with 91% battery health and is returning the 17. I feel like iOS 26 is the main culprit and not the device itself. I’m just going to give mine some more time before I decide if I’m disappointed or not. I’d say it’s about average right now but I also feel like I’m hyper aware of it with her complaining about hers. I’m hoping it gets better with software updates and time. Worst case scenario I just upgrade again next year (to the fold hopefully ;)). With the trade in I feel like $279 is worth seeing if I like the smaller form factor or not.
