iPhone 12 Max Pro battery drain & super hot with iOS 16.1.1 update

What can be done to remedy this issue? I’ve had 0 talk time, minimal sheen time today to find the battery drained and the back of the phone too hot to touch. All this happened the morning after it updated to iOS 16.1.1

Hello,

With any new version of iOS there are always maintenance and re-indexing tasks to be performed. It should settle down in a few days. These are the standard steps for short battery life: 

1) Have you tried a restart?  If not, do it now.

2) Go to Settings > Battery > BATTERY USAGE BY APP to see the apps that are consuming your battery.

3) Check “Battery Health” in the link: 

iPhone Battery and Performance

4) If all else fails, consider a battery replacement:

iPhone Battery & Power Repair

If the phone is overheating, see this:

Keeping iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch within acceptable operating temperatures

Good luck.
