iOS 18.7 Battery Life Drain Put To The Test: How Will Your iPhone Perform?

Here’s iOS 18.7 battery life drain and performance test for compatible iPhone models on video.

All of the talk might be about the iOS 26 software update right now, but for those who don’t want to upgrade just yet, the iOS 18.7 update is the way to go. But how does this new release treat the iPhone’s battery?

Upgrading to a new version of iOS can often bring with it a pitfall or two, not least in regards to the impact on battery life. New versions of iOS can cause iPhones to suffer worse battery life than before, which can be a real pain. That’s why YouTuber iAppleBytes set out to put the iOS 18.7 update through its paces to see how it fared.

The YouTuber ran the Geekbench battery bemnchark test on a range of iPhones new and old, so you can get a feel for how things are likely to perform with your own handset. We won’t spoil things for you, so make sure to watch the video to see what you can expect from the iOS 18.7 update.

What we will say is that there is rarely a consensus with these kinds of updates. Some iPhones are impacted in terms of battery life, while others aren’t, so keep that in mind when watching.

If you’re all about that iOS 26 life, the update is now available for download by everyone worldwide.
