My iPhone SE is hot to the touch since downloading the 15.6.1 upgrade. Also the battery level is dropping quickly in both that phone and two iPads with the upgrade. No applications are open/running on the devices.
It seems that the OS upgrade is causing something to run in the background that's heating the devices and gobbling up the battery life.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have had inconsistent behavior with the past two iOS updates. For this latest one, my phone would die twice in one day. I've seen on REDDIT people saying it's the phone indexing things after the update and to give it time, but I don't buy it. This is going on 72 hours now and seems to be getting worse. I've definitely done a force restart many times and didn't seem to do anything.
I just ended up plugging into my macbook and doing a full restore. Then restored my backup from iCloud and all seems good. My phone is no longer overheating and draining my battery nonstop.
Thank you for your generous edification. That was extremely helpful.
I'm very happy to see they are getting this sorted for you!
