battery drain ios 17.2 iphone 15 pro max

I installed iOS 17.2 this morning. I’m not a power user, I don’t play games, I do browse social media quite often. My 15 Pro Max has drained so quickly that I had to charge it for a second time today. I usually end the day with 70%+. I reset my phone completely and charged to 100% earlier. I’m at 54% after 5 hours. I literally watched my phone lose 20% capacity in an hour and I barely touched it. Not a good experience.

After updating my iPhone 15 Pro Max to the latest iOS 17.2, I’ve noticed that battery drains faster than before. Despite the battery health showing good in settings, the phone requires recharging on the same day, even after being fully charged. I’m seeking advice on how to resolve this unexpected battery drain issue !!

Same here. I hardly have 2 hours of active screen time (Instagram and TikTok), which are not very heavy tasks. However, it drains the battery pretty fast, much faster than it was on the latest iOS 16.

I do not have the pro, but my battery is draining very fast after I downloaded the new 17.2 update, I had no battery drainage issues before then. I just googled to find out if anyone else was having this issue I took my phone off the charger it was at 100% less than 10 minutes it was down to 82%. I’m not a gamer and I don’t download. I’m just a very casual browser but I wasn’t even on my phone at all after I took it off the charger and it drained that much.

I’m about 4 days in with my new iPhone 15 pro.. I’ve been debating exchanging it for the normal 15 to see if the battery is better on that phone.. but it sounds like it may be a waste of time right? It most likely doesn’t matter which phone bc the cause is the software? Any idea? Is it worth it to switch to the 15?

I really wonder what’s happening to iOS versions released lately. It cost a fortune to buy an iPhone 14 Pro Max in Ghana my home country. Within just two months, my battery life has reduced from 94 to 89 with the installation of iOS 17. What’s happening? Now most of my friends who wanted to buy iPhone are now diverting into Samsung. The earlier these problems are corrected the better. It’s like apple now rushes to release iOS versions without testing its limit. Am planning on selling my 14 pro max to get a Samsung phone. This sucks.
