battery drainage iOS 15.5 iPad, Watch and iPhone

First of all, please don't reply with a link to for example The last update killed my battery! - Apple Community. Because that didn't do anything. New iPhone 12 mini. Did a clean install on that one, no apps only set up with iCloud and in the settings nothing automatically or something running in the background, Siri is off. Apple Watch and iPad have the same problem.

Went to the store, they did a hardware check on iPhone and watch, battery and everything else is 100% oké. They could't find any problem other than that the problem lies with IOS 15.5. They said to wait for the next update. So my question is, when can I and all the other apple users who have the same problem expect an update to solve this problem?

Try some of these options too.

  1. Avoid Screen Mirroring
  2. Put on Low Power Mode
  3. Put Auto-Lock on (1 min):- with low power mode it will be 30 Sec
  4. Put Auto Answer Off
  5. Disable Push notifications for apps you do not use often / Also try Scheduled Delivery
  6. Keep your iPhone Facedown to prevent notifications to light up the screen
  7. Enable Auto-Brightness:- Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Auto-Brightness [Enable]
  8. Manually lower brightness from Control Center
  9. If you Want to watch continuous Video. Stream it on TV or a Monitor
  10. 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
  11. Location services to be allowed only while using the app
  12. Set your iPhone to fetch email and calendar data from the internet less frequently
  13. Turning off Background App Refresh 
  14. Charge before it drops below 20-30%
  15. Try connecting to trusted Wifi wherever available instead of Cellular
  16. 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
  17. Enable "Wifi Assist" : Settings > Cellular or Settings > Mobile Data > Wi-Fi Assist [Enable]
  18. Periodically Check the Battery Health (Settings > Battery > Battery Health)
