Just wanted to get thoughts from other iPhone 15 pro users. Had my 15 pro for 2 years and my battery health was down to 84% and after the IOS 26 update, battery drain was really obvious. So I just got a battery replacement at the Genius Bar and only been a day now. My 15pro is still warm. I’m hoping the battery is better after the new replacement.

Anyone else go through a similar situation? Is the warm feeling on the phone common as well?

Thanks!
 
My 15 Pro rarely gets warm to be honest. Now down to 91%, and surprisingly ios 26 has been smooth and snappy, and battery life is pretty normal. I am trying to get a battery replacement with Apple also, had an appointment yesterday at 15:30 hrs but they said they couldn't do same day service so I left, but they said can bring my phone any time for next 7 days as they kept my battery on reserve.
 
My battery on 15 pro is 88%, but feels worse. Apple won’t replace it unless it’s below 80%, even if I pay for it. You didn’t get that limitation from Apple? Maybe worth trying again.

No, they said they ideally recommend to change the battery below 80%, but I said to change it now as Im getting less duration in between charge (common sense i know), and they said thats fine as im paying for it (£95). I think that 80% limitation is for Apple care.
