I like to keep phones a long time. Before I finally slotted in a sketchy new third party battery, my last android would suddenly shut off at anywhere from 15-30℅ battery remaining because of the voltage drop. I think they deserve a pass for that "scandal".

45% battery on iOS 18

25% battery on iOS 26 (which corresponds to iOS 19)

(sadly got stuck with that degraded phone because the Apple Watch that refuses to pair if you run iOS 18)

		The timestamped part of the video shows an iPhone 15 and 17, both on iOS 26.3. 45% on the iPhone 17 and 25% on the iPhone 15. Only the iPhone XR in that test is on iOS 18. It scored behind all of the models on iOS 26.3 except for the iPhone SE. But that's not a useful comparison because who knows what condition the XR's battery is in at this point, and nothing else ran on a comparable iOS version. Not sure what point you were trying to make with that video, but it doesn't really demonstrate cross-version battery performance.
