Battery drain since iOS 15.5

Safest way is to use the Beta Profiles for iOS and then utilize the Feedback Assistant app. I cannot speak about downgrading software in the safest way, as it appears there is no option to downgrade on the iPhone itself and it will be difficult from iTunes standpoint as well.

Both my iPhone 8 and iPhone 12 were updated to IOS 15.5 2 days ago. Both are now experiencing very fast battery drain. The IPhone 8 use to last me all day, now only a few hours if I don’t use it for phone calls etc. Apple did this to me when I had my iPhone 5. I did the updates back then. The battery basically died, I wiped the iPhone and reinstalled everything but it was never good enough to last even 9 hours at work and ultimately forced me to buy a new phone. Now I’ll have to replace my iPhone 8.

Has Apple abandoned us so they could sell a few more iPhones?

I am even thinking of taking my iPhone 13 to the istore for a battery replacement, i bought it a month ago and the battery health is on 100% but it drains very very fast i think the battery is faulty and will my warranty cover it?

Hey50 ~ With an older model iPhone such as your iPhone 8, it's worth checking the battery's health in case a simple battery replacement is all that's needed...

Does your iPhone 8 still have its original battery?

And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...

Settings > Battery > Battery Health

Running great again…

Hi, sorry for the late update but I was vacationing and other stuff. As I wrote in my earlier note we had two iPhones with significant battery drain immediately after IOS 15.5 update. I tried everything I could think of on the iPhone 8 including deleting all 3rd part apps and resetting the iPhone (actually Erase all Content and Setting). None of this fixed my iPhone 8 and I gave up on/about July 17. Surprisingly, roughly two days later both the IPhone 8 and iPhone 12 started behaving normally. Once again we were both able to get a full day on a single charge. All together we suffered about a week with battery drain.

I can only surmise the Apple discussions advising we just give it time to reorganize was the ultimate fix. The follow link is the discussion I reference.

I just want to note I spent over 40 years in the IT world so I think I took a pretty organized approach to troubleshooting and avoided the hope and poke approach. If you are contemplating a new iPhone as I was please consider giving it a little time to resolve.

Thanks for listening

My phone’s battery is draining after the update to 15.5 im currently using iPhone 12 mini

After i updated my 1 month old iPhone 13 pro max to iOS 15.5 my battery is draining really fast… apple needs to do something about this..

Read this -> The last update killed my battery! - Apple Community.

In general, you do not get help for a beta - it's because o f the NDA you agreed to. However, we can post the link to the Apple article:

How to uninstall iOS or iPadOS beta software - Apple Support

My lighting cord doesn’t work either. The only cord that will charge my phone is the Apple one I got from the Verizon store.

I have a 13 Pro and battery is terrible since 15.5 update. Wish I hadn’t. Must be even worse on the regular 13. I bought the Pro for the battery life.

Come on Apple - sort it out please?!

I go back ios 15.5
