Yes. iPhone 11. On iOS 18, at least 7 hours of screen time on LTE/Wi-Fi. On iOS 26.2, it's down to 4 hours.
I had very good battery life in version 26.0.1, it deteriorated significantly in 26.1, and it recovered in the 26.2 Release Candidate and remained that way in the official version. It's actually better than what I had in 26.0.1, so in my case, the battery life is fantastic. Update with the ipsw file if you haven't already; it might help fix a possible bad installation.
My wife and I both have iPhone 15 Pro’s. Battery life isn’t too bad on either, but performance is suddenly terrible on both devices. It starts with acting sluggish, dropped frames, the icons start to “blink”, taps become delayed longer and longer until the devices restart themselves. They’ll be smooth for a day or two and then both start acting up again.
Thanks for the info! Im keeping my 15 Pro on iOS 18 for the the time being. This is the first time im holding off for a while, i usually upgrade on the .1 update but it just seems like the recent software has been a beta test.
Is anyone experiencing a weird bug when sometimes the sound volume on a PiP video gets its sound lowered to half randomly?
Mmm, did this a couple of times after Xmas party and it worked fine for me… 🤷♂️
Maybe restart the Photos app or even the phone? 🤞
Experiencing a bug lately where lock screen “now playing” album art won’t go full screen, despite tapping the album cover on the ‘Now Playing’ platter. A restart fixes it every time, but does anyone have an easier solution?
This has happened 2-3 times this week. Not a huge deal, but I prefer the full screen album art and it’s annoying when this little glitch occurs.

I’m getting more than a few frozen web pages in 26.2. Must close out and relaunch the page to fix it. Not all the time. But a few times a day.
Every time I open a page in Private Browsing mode, the page never loads and I have to force quit Safari and reopen it. It’s so, so annoying.
This happens to me too. I actually think the page has loaded because the title shows when you swipe up into the tab view, but for some reason the page canvas is blank.
It's the world telling you that you really need to turn off keyboard sounds. They are evil and go on people's nerves in public. Just saying 😉
I had mine for several days and I don't know what specifically triggered it, but it finally did activate.
Good to know. To your knowledge did RCS ever disappear from the IMS status?
Not quite the same issue but my iPhone SE2020 incoming call ring is permanently muted. I've tried all the six or seven related settings published on net to unmute without success.
From IOS 18 to IOS 26.2 - iphone 15pro, was the biggest mistake i've done recently. Im feeling the phone is slow, when you do a lot of things, and i need to call someone, the phone app i so slow when i opened it. It takes time to load contanct or recents.... The biggest crap of the year........
