iOS 26.6 Better BATTERY LIFE is COMING?

[00:00:00]Welcome back to our channel, guys.

[00:00:01]Welcome back to the another video. We are already around the corner of iOS 27 beta 1. That is coming very, very soon.

[00:00:10]Definitely, I will be making videos about that. But, before iOS 27, I want to give it a look to the iOS 26.6.

[00:00:19]So far, we are in the phase of beta when it comes to iOS 26.6.

[00:00:25]Beta 1 is going on. If I get into the settings, get into the general about section, and over here, this is the iOS 26.6 beta 1. You can see the build number there is E at the end of the build number, which mean more betas are definitely coming. But, the question is is iOS 26.6 is going to be the best upcoming update? Let's find out. So far, I'm using beta 1, and I want to share how the battery life is going on so far.

[00:00:57]I will be showing Geekbench and more, so watch the video until the end. So, let's begin with the battery life. So, I will get into the settings, into the battery section, and the battery stats load. We are here into the battery section. Let's we go over here on this day. So, as you can see, I use around 78% of my device. And for the 78%, I got 5 hour and 11 minutes screen on time, which is okay, which is decent. Screen on screen off time is also high, which means there were apps that were running in the background. So, if I look at what apps did I use throughout the day, it was TikTok, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Safari. If I go to here any other day over here, I use around 85%, and for the 85%, I got just 5 hour of screen on time, which is actually really, really bad. Not happy with it.

[00:01:51]Going to another day, I use around 81%.

[00:01:54]Almost 7 hours of screen on time, just okay. Apps I used were WhatsApp, Instagram, and some other applications.

[00:02:02]As you can see, over here I used around 75% and almost 6 hours of screen on time. And the apps I used were TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp, and some other applications. So, so far if you look at the battery, sometimes it is decent, sometimes it is good, sometimes it is bad. So, it is a mixed battery going on, but so far I feel there is a big room for improvement. So, Apple need to improve the overall update, and I'm hoping that upcoming betas will bring um improvements. But so far it is just an okay battery life. I do get questions on every single day that we are using iOS 26.5, should we install 26.6 beta 1? And still the answer is no. I will not recommend anyone to install this update until the maybe couple of betas or maybe an RC update. So, until that I will say just ignore this update, stay on 26.5. So far 26.6 is just an okay update in terms of a battery life. The overall performance is nice. I haven't faced any issue here and there. I use this device on daily basis. It is a decent performance, being very honest. And if I share the latest Geekbench with you that I just ran today, I got 3344 on a single core, 8576 on a multi core. Single core is just slightly higher than the average one.

[00:03:29]Multi core is also higher than the average one. Multi core is quite decent, but not great. It is just an okay scores. In the GPU benchmark, I got 28364 GPU metal score, which is way higher than the average one, which is really nice. So, GPU benchmarks are crazy. GPU benchmarks are really good, but CPU scores are just okay, just decent. But in usage, I haven't faced any sort of issue. It feels a solid, it feels a nice update. So, this was all I want to discuss in this video. The next beta is going to be the beta 2 and we are expecting that hopefully next week. We are expecting a lot of stuff next week.

[00:04:11]Um with the WWDC 26, we are expecting first developer beta of iOS 27. I am definitely very exciting. Um definitely I will be making more videos about that.

[00:04:21]So, make sure to subscribe the channel.

[00:04:24]What are you most excited about WWDC 26?

[00:04:27]Let me know in the comment section below. And yeah, this is all from this a very short and simple video. And I hope to get you guys in my next video. Until then, take care. Peace out.
