Battery performance is one of the quieter focuses of iOS 26, and it’s no wonder, now that the iPhone Air is here. Apple’s ultra-thin device has usable battery life — up to 27 hours of video playback, for what that’s worth — but it’s eclipsed by the base iPhone 17, never mind the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. Apple needs the Air running at maximum efficiency if it wants to avoid a wave of complaints. The company even has a new MagSafe battery pack designed with the Air in mind, somewhat defeating the point of going slim.
