iOS 15.4 Battery Drain
Is anyone experiencing battery drain since updating their iPhone to iOS 15.4? I am considering updating this morning and have seen this be an issue with other updates in the past.

15.4.1 is out.
"This update includes the following bug fixes for your iPhone:
Battery may drain more quickly than expected after updating to iOS 15.4"
So I guess it wasn't all just temporary reindexing and would get better in 48 hours.
Apple's engineers are smart. I'm sure they knew they had a genuine problem within hours of 15.4's release. These bugs that only manifest for certain configurations of hardware and software can be hard to find and hard to fix. I understand that, and would cut them slack for it. It's the denial and obfuscation that diminish my respect for Apple. Why not just acknowledge there's an issue and tell us they're working on it?

My iPhone 13 Pro Max iOS 15.4 battery drain is real 😭
I am now downgrading to 15.3.1... 12 pro max
Good luck. There’s a good chance that won’t fix it, because the problem has nothing to do with the version.
Nonsense!!
As quite a few mentioned already, the phone was off, doing nothing.
I did nothing different didn’t change any of the settings or anything my battery was great. But as soon as I update to iOS 15.4 my battery starts training like crazy.
I’ve been having the same issue since the last update. My phone also overheats during light usage such as browsing.
having the same battery drain issues on
iphone 13 pro
and
iphone 13 pro max
Same experience with battery drain after iOS 15.4!
Update: After 4 Days, the phone works normal again, looks like this "background tasks/jobs" are done, have the same battery stamina like with iOS 13
It’s been a while after updating to iOS 15.4. battery is better by a little bit. But still not back to the way it was prior to iOS 15.4.
iPhone 12 Pro. Usually after charging my
phone all night I get to 4-5pm till it’s time to plug in. This morning at or around 10am I saw my battery was at 19% 😳. Something is definitely wrong.
Yes, what is wrong is that it wasn’t charging overnight. Either the charger or the cable is defective, or if you were using a wireless charger the phone was not placed on it in the correct position.
I thought the same
I’ve occasionally not positioned my phone (or watch) on the wireless charger correctly, and had the same “surprise” in the morning.
