Hi, I currently have the iPhone 17 Pro Max on iOS 26.0 (23A345) and been noticing that if I restart the phone I seem to lose 3% battery. Then some time after like 15 minutes or so I would restart the phone again and it will lose another 3% battery. But if I don’t wait some time before restarting again then sometimes it will lose 1% battery or nothing at all.

Anyone with the 17 Pro Max could you please test this and see if you are also experiencing the same thing? Kind of worried now as I just bought this phone and I hope nothing is wrong with the phone itself and it’s an iOS problem?
 
Rebooting uses a lot of processing power. That power eats battery.

You do not need to keep rebooting or powering down your phone. Leave it on
