I have bought iphone 16 pro max on October 28, ( 9 months ago) and rarely dropped by battery health below 20%. I also set limit to 80% so I can preserve my Battery Health. I am not a multitasking user. I used fan to keep the phone cool during charging. But today I update to iOS26 public beta, It dropped to 99% at 88 Cycle which is quite low cycle. Many other user are getting their battery health dropped to 99% after 120, 130+ cycle with daily usage. Why mine got dropped after updating. I am quite unhappy with it, and iOS 26 is so jittery in my phone

Well, there's no APIs involved in this question so there's not much to talk about in the developer forums. In these forums, folks talk about making apps and that sort of thing. There isn't much discussion about troubleshooting general usage problems.

If you're using a beta release and having a problem that makes it unlivable you might consider filing a feedback and then switching back to a regular release. Maybe try a different beta later down the road.
