"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."
"Also: iOS 26 is now live - here's how to download it (and which iPhones support it) 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."
Major iOS updates can cause temporary increases in battery drain and device temperature while the phone completes background setup tasks. Background work includes updating apps, indexing files and data for search, downloading new assets, and finishing system setup. New OS versions provide feature upgrades, security enhancements, and bug fixes that make updates important. iOS 26 adds an Adaptive Power mode designed to extend battery charge. To install iOS 26, open Settings, choose General, tap Software Update, select iOS 26, download and install, and restart the device. The temporary battery impact should subside once background processes finish.
