İOS 26 beta battery %1

my battery is MUCH better on beta 2. beta 1 would be dead around end of the day and today its at 60%!

I'm also seeing this problem with Swift Charts. This is with the latest Xcode 26 Beta 6 and iOS 26 Beta 8. This issue doesn't affect devices running iOS 18 and 17 from my testing. As such I've made this modifier which may help someone, hopefully I can remove it in the release seed but who knows! extension View { func CustomTapGesture(tapCount:Int = 1, perform action: @escaping () -> Void ) -> some View { modifier(TapGestureModifier(tapCount: tapCount, action: action)) } } struct TapGestureModifier: ViewModifier { var tapCount:Int = 1 var action: (() -> Void) func body(content: Content) -> some View { if #available(iOS 26.0, *) { content.simultaneousGesture(TapGesture(count: tapCount).onEnded { action() }) } else { content.onTapGesture(count: tapCount) { action() } } } } Which can be used like this: Text(Hello World) .CustomTapGesture(tapCount:2) { UIImpactFeedbackGenerator().impactOccurred() } To be clear, this doesn'

Did you update to Xcode 26 beta 2 already? I had a similar issue on beta 1 and on beta 2 it is now resolved.

For what its worth: I experienced this issue as well on the iOS 18 simulator, but now when using the Xcode 26 beta with iOS 26 beta it works as expected. Before (iOS 18.5) After (iOS 26.0) Note: I'm using Flutter, not native code. but I experienced the exact same issues described above

Confirmed, I installed Xcode 26 beta 1 on Sequoia and none of the intelligence features were available. As soon as I updated my system to macOS 26 they lit up.

You'd think that after all these years, betas and batteries would be such a dead and buried horse that no one could find another angle on the topic...Battery life as a beta topic has always been rooted in priorities....Apple disables power management during betas at certain times so they can short list/focus other functions, then restores it later. That why betas don't compare to trimmed out Release versions. No mystery backgrounding that kneecaps the battery.

Update: Not a bug in iOS 26. A colleague was able to test both my simplified project as well as our app on real hardware running iOS 26 beta 7. All works as expected. This may be a limitation of the iOS 26 simulator as running on macOS 15.x perhaps.
