I’ve recently bought an iPhone 16 Pro Max and have only been using it for a few days, but every time I turn it off and back on, the battery percentage drops by around 2–3%. My phone is currently on iOS 26.1. Is this normal?

Yes it will use 2-3% rebooting. It's one reason we recommend never turning an iphone off unless it is to try and cancel out a glitch.
There is normally no need to turn it off.
Charge all night every night to 100% with optimised charging activated.

Did you buy it used or new?
Did you check the Battery Health in the settings for battery on your iPhone?
It is new, not used.
Yes I checked.
