Battery life is draining significantly with minimal use after updating to iOS 26 on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I’m really frustrated—why does Apple release updates that ruin battery performance? It’s been three days since I updated, and while the battery should have stabilized by now, it’s still draining excessively.

Hello,
With any new version of iOS there are always maintenance and reindexing tasks to be performed. It should settle down in a few days.
1) Have you tried a restart? If not, do it now.
2) Go to Settings > Battery > BATTERY USAGE BY APP to see the apps that are consuming your battery.
3) Check “Battery Health” in the link:
iPhone Battery and Performance
Good luck.

How many days exactly? I updated my 14 Pro 4 days ago and it still randomly heats up
