Apple does NOT support downgrading. And the iOS 26 update, didn't cause any issues on my phone. Surely you Force Restarted your phone after you updated (which is recommended and what I do after every iOS update)? Here's how to do that --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
To say they need to roll this back, when there are millions upon millions upon millions of users who have no issues with iOS 26 doesn't make sense.
You didn't mention which iPhone you own and what it's Battery Health is? Open Settings > Battery > Battery Health and post back what it is.

I don’t see any issues on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Give the new software time to settle and reindex everything and I think the problem will resolve itself.
Apple does not recommend a rollback and I am not aware of an official procedure.
If you have installed the production version of iOS 26, you cannot roll back to an earlier version.
As far as I know, rolling back is only an option if you are running a beta. (Now that the production version of iOS 26 is out, I don't know if going back to iOS 18 is still an option even for iOS 26 beta users.)
this was the worst update ever!
Wow, you have been updating iPhones for 17+ years? That's impressive.

Not going to happen, you you'll have to try something else. Maybe we could help if you could provide some details on your phone.
What model? How much storage is being used? Battery Max Capacity? Screen shots of the apps that are using the most power? You get the idea.

Rolling back iOS version from 26 to an older version on iPhone 15 due to latency issues
