Battery drain since iOS 15.5

Hi,


iPhone SE gen2 about 11 months old, has been running like a Swiss clock since the beginning.


Did the iOS 15.5 update last week, battery health is 92%, but now the battery drain very fast, like30-40% in airplane mode with all apps closed at night.


Tried the usual reboot, long power/home press to clear the cache, logging out of icloud, etc


Please fix ASAP because those issue with battery drain every few updates are too frequent and make it looks like you do not internally test updates.


Thank you.


iPhone SE, iOS 15

My battery is draining like 2% every 10min since updating to ios 15.5 three weeks ago. My battery health is 98% percent. My new ipad air also behaving the same. No draining over night, solid performance but soon as start using it, starts to count down, fast. Hope to see ios 15.5.1 with fixes.

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 found two possible options somewhere else to try:

  • If you have a PiHole setup: Disable „Limit IP Adress Tracking“ in the Settings of your Wifi (if it‘s disable: activate and deactivate)
  • Sign out from your Apple ID, restart and sign in again (you need to re-add your cards and keys to Apple Wallet)

I applied both, battery is now (9.30pm) at 33%. Before it was about 20%-point less.


There is still some issue I guess, but at least it helped a bit (me, maybe not you :/).


Good luck.
