apps draining the battery?

Question

I have about 200 apps on my old iphone 7. If the apps are not open, can my battery be draining from the continuing updates to my apps?

I imagine apps in my app library are always being updated because of my settings?

I just bought the iphone 13 and if this is the case, I will try to eliminate apps I do not use.

iPhone 8

Try some of these options too.

Avoid Screen Mirroring
Put on Low Power Mode
Put Auto-Lock on (1 min):- with low power mode it will be 30 Sec
Put Auto Answer Off
Disable Push notifications for apps you do not use often
Keep your iPhone Facedown to prevent notifications to light up the screen
Enable Auto-Brightness:- Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Auto-Brightness [Enable]
Manually lower brightness from Control Center
If you Want to watch continuous Video. Stream it on TV or a Monitor
Don't force close apps; Apps that are not on the frontend screen are paused by the system to save energy. Apps require more energy to re-launch. Apps that are open in the background use large memory is a myth and quitting them is counterproductive
Location services to be allowed only while using the app
Set your iPhone to fetch email and calendar data from the internet less frequently
Turning off Background App Refresh
Charge before it drops below 20-30%
Try connecting to trusted Wifi wherever available instead of Cellular
Enable Airplane mode in areas with bad cellular and wifi coverage. Your phone keeps trying for reconnection with the missing/weak network. This uses a lot of energy
Switch off Wifi & Bluetooth while in Roaming or Not in Range
Enable "Wifi Assist" : Settings > Cellular or Settings > Mobile Data > Wi-Fi Assist [Enable]
Periodically Check the Battery Health (Settings > Battery > Battery Health)
