iPhone 15 Pro issues after iOS 26 update

I have an iPhone 15 Pro. Since I did the update, there has been several issues to include:


  • Excessive battery consumption
  • Screen freezes which requires restarting
  • AirPods 2 (fully charged) occasionally un-syncs which requires placing them back in my case and continuing the phone call
  • Certain apps like Apple Music or clicking the Dynamic Island will freeze the screen which requires restarting
  • Apple wallet works every third attempt
  • And more …


Overall, this update has caused a massive inconvenience and desperately needs a patch as I personally know several other iPhone users who are having similar issues!

Yes this has by far been the worst update, to a supposedly ready for public release iOS ,I have ever experienced. iPhone 15 pro constantly crashes requiring forced restart to even turn it back on. Will sometimes keep crashing upon start up requiring time spent resetting and turning back on 100 times. Like how did you manage to come to the conclusion this is a stable release? Even a patch later still the same issues. How can you not fix this? Get the stability we use iOS for back or this will be my last iPhone.
