experiencing several issues on iphone 15 after update to ios 26

After updating to iOS 26 on my iPhone 15, I started experiencing several issues. The device often lags and feels less smooth, Face ID sometimes doesn’t work properly — it recognizes my face, but the lock screen freezes and does not unlock as expected — and the battery drains much faster than before. These problems only appeared after the update.
