Brand new iPhone 16 pro having battery issues with ios 26

So i bought an iPhone 16 pro a week ago and i've been having awful battery drain for a brand new phone. I had an iPhone 12 before that with 80% capacity and was performing better than now. Is there a thing i can do to fix this issue or i have to wait for apple to fix the ios 26.

iPhone 17 Battery Drain with iOS 26.0.1 since updating my iPhone 17 to iOS 26.0.1 I can see massive battery drop. It was working fine with iOS 26 but the update it’s dropping faster than before. My average is 6-7 hours sot, but with this I am getting 5 to nearly 6 hours. Any suggestions since it’s a new device purchased on 22nd and only 9 cycles have been completed! Should I reset the device to see improvements?
