iOS 26 Speculation Thread

[50thanniversary19762026]

Hey, did you happen to clean the USB-C connector on your phone?

Also, did you try using a different cable?

If neither of those steps helps, it might be a good idea to take your iPhone 16PM to the Apple Store. The Genius will need to replace the faulty port and fix it.

Just a heads-up, you won’t be able to do anything until that’s all sorted out. ✔️ That’s the only way to restore or downgrade your iPhone when you’re using Finder or Apple Configurator.

Hey, that’s not the best way to handle it. The adhesive is great for removing stuff like silly putty/slime or temporary tape from speakers, but usb c ports it’s a no go 🙅. The super glue is super strong and could have already caused some damage to your iPhone. It’s probably best not to try and remove the super glue yourself. Instead, take your iPhone 16 Pro Max to the Apple Store with the Genius Bar. They’ll be happy to swap out the port for you.

🫡 Just like the iOS 26 battery life thread, this virtual roundtable has been a fantastic discussion about how our iPhones handle battery life since Liquid Glass.
We’ve shared our thoughts on whether adaptive power is always the best way to manage battery life on our iPhone. 📱
We’ve also talked about those moments when battery health drops unexpectedly and significantly, and those times when we had the best battery life.
However, it’s worth noting that iOS 26 has improved the battery settings page interface. It now provides a rough estimate of how long it will take to charge to 80%, and if applicable, the charge limit set.

Fingers crossed that iOS 27 will further enhance the adaptive power feature!
