iOS 16.1.2 Battery Issue
After updating to iOS 16.1.2 from 16.1.1 my device’s battery drainage has increased a lot. I am getting average of 6 hours of screen time in my 14 pro max. I use the possible lowest settings for me.
iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello JoyBhai,
Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
These tips may help:
"Optimize your settings.
There are two simple ways you can preserve battery life — no matter how you use your device: adjust your screen brightness and use Wi‑Fi.
Dim the screen or turn on Auto-Brightness to extend battery life.
- To dim, open Control Center and drag the Brightness slider to the bottom.
- Auto-Brightness adjusts your screen to lighting conditions automatically. To activate it, go to Settings > Accessibility. Tap Display & Text Size, then turn on Auto-Brightness.
When you use your device to access data, a Wi‑Fi connection uses less power than a cellular network — so keep Wi‑Fi on at all times. To turn on Wi‑Fi, go to Settings > Wi‑Fi to access a Wi‑Fi network."
Let's also review the other recommendations outlined here: Maximizing Battery Life and Lifespan
If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? How long has it been since you updated? Which apps are you using the most? Also, do you notice a difference in battery life when using specific apps?
Cheers!
