"In a support page about software updates refreshed on Monday, Apple clarified why it's important to update your device's OS and how such updates work. New versions like iOS 26 kick in new features and improvements, enhanced security, and bug fixes. As such, you'll want to update your iPhone for security reasons even if you're not all that excited about the latest features."
"Apple acknowledged that after any update, especially a major release, you may notice a temporary impact on battery life and thermal performance. Not only could your battery drain faster, but your phone may get hotter. This is normal, as your device needs a certain amount of time to finish the setup in the background. That means updating apps, indexing files and data for search, downloading new assets, and more."
After a major iOS update, devices commonly experience temporary battery drain and elevated temperatures as the system completes background setup tasks. Background tasks include updating apps, indexing files and data for search, and downloading new assets. New OS versions deliver features, improvements, enhanced security, and bug fixes, so installing updates like iOS 26 remains important for security. To install iOS 26, open Settings, choose General, then Software Update, select iOS 26, and wait for download and installation; the phone restarts when the update completes. iOS 26 adds an Adaptive Power mode to extend battery charge.
