For at least a month now, I have noticed my iPhone 15 Pro doesn't use as much battery power despite using it all day. At the end of the workday, I have much more battery left. Did a recent update fix a battery-wasting bug?
Got a tip for us?

Yes, probably iOS 18.6 which was released July 29th, almost a month ago. According to what majority of people have said, this update improved the not-so-good battery life of 18.5.
iOS 18.6 has received a couple of minor updates (18.6.1 and 18.6.2) that, for the iPhone 15 and 16, have resulted in even better battery life.
iOS 26 on the other hand, a software still in beta but close to the RC and final release, is offering worse battery life. Hopefully they will improve it through the first major updates…
