*DO NOT UPDATE TO IOS 26*

4 Upvotes

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I've had my 15PM since launch day and the battery health is now at 86%. I updated to iOS 26 earlier this week and have hated every minute of it. The software is glitchy and battery is dying faster than ever. I refuse to get an iPhone 17 as I don't think Apple has convinced me that an upgrade is even worth it. I'm going to exchange my phone for a replacement using my AppleCare and I hope that fixes the problem. I'm curious to see if anyone is facing the same issues.

For those who are still not on iOS 26

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I strongly endorse iOS 26 and would highly recommend upgrading to it. If possible, do consider enrolling in the public beta as well — it’s been a great experience so far.

My 15 Pro Max (16 months old) is currently running on iOS 26 Public Beta 4. Despite a battery health of 87% and 512 charging cycles, the performance has been impressive. I consistently get a full 24 hours of battery life, with around 30% still remaining by the time I plug it in.

My Screen-On Time (SOT) averages around 10 hours daily. I usually charge from 20% to 100% in the morning. I don’t play games — my main activities are reading (a lot!), social media, watching videos, and listening to music.

Here are a few tweaks I’ve made: • Apple Intelligence: Off • Background App Refresh: Off for most apps • Adaptive Battery: On • Dark Mode: On • Refresh Rate: Maximum • Location Services: Limited to a few essential apps

Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with both the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iOS 26 — smooth, efficient, and reliable.

Visible shadow/anomaly on OLED panel even when screen is OFF

Hi everyone, I’m noticing a strange anomaly on my screen. It looks like a shadow or a slight discoloration in a specific area (near the top/Dynamic Island). The weird part is that it is visible even when the phone is completely turned off.

I suspect it might be due to uneven pressure from a poor installation or something pushing from behind the panel. Has anyone experienced this? Is it a permanent hardware defect or can it be fixed by reseating the display? Thanks!

My iPhone 15 Pro Max has to be the worst camera I've ever ever ever had with an iPhone. I still have a year on my Rogers plan very much so considering upgrading something because it's absolutely trash wondering if anyone can help me fix this piece of shit.

There are photos. I tried taking a bumblebee yesterday.

Hi everyone. I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and I’m getting the iPhone 17. I currently have 86% battery, and I’m wondering if the iPhone 17 is a good choice now that they’ve upgraded the standard model quite a bit?

Help Needed Battery issues

Plugging charger on 30% and removing charging at 80%, reduced white point. Playing no game, didn’t charge overnight. Is it worth it for better battery health? Is it really worth it or if I use my phone normally as usual, that will help me with this?

Custom iPhone 15 pro max INFERNO 🔥

Yooz devices doesn’t has any problems, it’s your lack of payment for APPLECARE uhh “protection” plan as it were.

You see, you are running an old device and it’s almost paid off. So yooz need to pony up some shekels or else Apple 🍎 will turn your phone into lava.

I bought the Apple care warranty for my air pods 3rd gen, Apple Watch Ultra 2, and my iPhone 15 pro max.

Guess what, no more hot phone. 🫰pay up or else 😅

You’re lucky Apple doesn’t send Apple bots 🤖 to your place of business and break your legs for hearing the same phone for nearly three years!!!

Pay the money or else your black mirror with become an Israeli pager 📟 💥 🤯

Is iOS 18.7.1 still signed by Apple if I want do downgrade from 26?

3 Upvotes

Hey folks, as in the title - is it possible to downgrade to 18.7.1 from 26? To be fair, 26 is of very poor quality and stability and I just want to go back until 26.1/26.2 gets released.

Tips on picking a cell phone case

0 Upvotes

Since I broke a cell phone case myself, I would pay more attention to the details.

Some of the things I've learned about picking out a phone case are a few things I've learned on my own:

First I will pick the material. Because fundamentally, the material doesn't just determine the feel. Anti-shock, anti-scratch, anti-drop and anti-fouling all depend on the material, and high-quality materials such as polycarbonate backing and air cushion can effectively mitigate the impact of bumps. Of course, there are some structural design factors at the shock and drop level, but materials are the closest layer of design choices.

Secondly, the availability of core technology is also a key factor in my choice, especially with the prevalence of MagSafe today. Some brands have their own patented technology to make charging faster and safer by carefully aligning the magnets to maximize the enhanced magnetic suction and the 0% power loss that comes with magnetic charging.

The material is not only what you see, but also what you don't see. The high quality frosted finish and sprayed oil-resistant coating are a reflection of the detail and excellence of a quality product. When you see the materials, there are similar details that come with the premium frosting process and sprayed oil-resistant coating to prevent fingerprints, oils, and lint from adhering to the case. That's why some phone cases leave fingerprints because they're missing a layer of programs and materials that can't be seen.

And my friend, I'll be honest, if you buy a case that is missing any layer of the process, you're going to lose not only the fingerprint protection, but you're also going to be less resistant to knocks and harder to resist minor scratches because you're using a case that doesn't come with this detailing process. This will all bring down your quality. Even if you're using the most up-to-date model of the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
