iOS 17.2.1 Battery Drain

First of all. Same issue. iPhone 13 (MLPJ3ZD/A, A2633) iOS 17.2.1. Battery capacity 86%, 2,5 years old now.

The battery is drain much faster then the iOS version before...

What I (I'm sorry) hate the most.... I see many many people complain here on the Community wit same issue.... Where are the moderators? They have to keep a eye on those kind of signals and post a reply:

We have collect this issue and its on our list.....

I only see people who bought a iPhone in past and have issues now, and no any reply of Apple at all on those topics... Its a shame....

So they don't read product feedback either

That is certainly not correct. There was a massive feedback campaign to request the return of swiping to change Watch faces. Apple responded very quickly.

I've already sent feedback on user interface errors several times - keyboard lags, control centre, flashing sliders when interacting with them, and so on. Since the end of October, there have been 0 responses, as I understand it, they don't even read them

Apple does not respond directly to feedback. You don't know what action they are taking or planning on taking. Just because you, one person, submit feedback about something doesn't mean things will change immediately.

I still can't believe that such a large company as Apple can't fix errors that have existed since 17.0 or going back from 16, which almost every user must face (control center lags when interacting with it during operation of auto brightness, flashing sliders and animations, keyboard lags, constantly growing system data in storage and so on), at least it's very similar to planned obsolescence and motivation to purchase a newer device, because even 17.2.1 after DFU recovery works as if it is some kind of unfinished version

If "almost every user" faced these issues, the forums would be awash with post about it. It is not.

iOS 17 on an iPhone 11 Pro worked absolutely fine for me.

I've noticed that sometimes, when I've checked what is active (half-swipe up), that every app on my iphone is active, without my ever starting them ?? Probably contributes to rapid battery depletion? Another IOS problem?

Those apps are suspended, not active.

ok wrong word. They were never started - and then suspended. They are available for dispatch by IOS - right?

But the word matters. A suspended app does not use any extra battery or processor cycles.

I don't know what you mean by "dispatch".

Same issue here with my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Noticed my battery health was 83% before the update, then immediately after it dropped to 80% without me doing anything… I use my phone the same way as before the update and my battery doesn’t last the same amount of time anymore. Feeling forced to upgrade to the newest phone rather than issues being fixed by Apple.

Same with mine. When I charge my phone at night it only charges up to 30-40% and then by time I get ready for school ( about an hour) it’s at 4 percent. During that 1 hour it sits there, I don’t touch it, no music, nothing. Just having my phone off the charger and just laying there it goes down the 4%

Same with my iPhone XR, battery would last 12-24hours without constant use before the iOS 17.2.1 update. Now it’s more like 6. I’ve changed everything I can think of except turning off mobile data roaming… I kinda need that.

I have the same issue. Battery literally drains after few mins of usage. Never had this issue before the 17.2.1 updated, battery used to last much longer. Will there be a fix soon? It's an iPhone 14 Pro Max and I have to carry a charger and cable along with me where ever I go, not happy.

I had the same battery drain problem the phone actually sit on my table i didn't use it after 1 day 50% i have. :D

When i share my 5g with usb cable to my laptop after the 17.2 start a massive heat up when i start download files.

I didn't updated the IOS 17.3 i scared if makes it worst.

I had 4 month old Iphone 14 pro max with 100% battery.

When i bought i got IOS 16.5 i didn't have any battery drain or heat issue with it I regretted it to update IOS 17.

It has any help to fix this battery drain and heat up issue? (when im charge i don't use i use apple wirelless charger )

I tried restore my iphone firmware with itunes don't fixed it.

My iPad is 2 yrs old & was running quite fine until the 17.2 upgrade! Then the next one!! What’s going on?? Doesn’t do any good to gripe about it if APPLE ISN’T DOING ANYTHING?

Now it’s practically draining right down every day & Im having a hard time CHARGING IT….for Pete’s sakes!! FIGURE IT OUT APPLE!! Db

Go back in history and find out how Apple manages their product sales. First the battery is already less than 100% after a year or two - so the max capacity is anywhere between 70-85%. Even if this battery is charged to “100%”, it’s still much below the original max capacity.

Second and most importantly, Apple is known the slow down the devices when it’s time to hard push upcoming new ones. Most of the time they use the “security” updates to slow the devices, since these updates are installed more often than not.

What Apple wants is for customers to ditch a 2 year old device and buy a brand new one!

I have the same issue with my iPhone 15 Pro

Same issue on my iphone 11 and I don’t even use it that much. Just updated it and now it drains like a rocket.
