I have IPhone 16 base model, battery life 100%, also it just 15 cycle…. I just notice after the upgrade from IOS 18 to 26 the battery drain quick not like the usual, also when I unlock the phone from lock screen to home screen I feel it do it in 2 steps not 1 smooth step not sure if it is part of animation or what but I don’t like it to be 2 steps.
