iOS 17.2.1 Battery Drain

After update this week to iOS 17.2.1 my iPhone 13, bought on last march, already in warranty, starts to drain the battery very fast. I’m always using the Low Power Mode ON and still draining! Can you help????

If the app is not in the list the app is started from scratch; its entry code segment is loaded, and it must run its initialization code, open its resources and then go on to its working code. This takes longer than just activating it from the app switcher, and uses more energy than just activating it from the app switcher, so for this reason killing apps unnecessarily uses more energy than just leaving them in the app switcher list. Probably not a lot more, but some.

But as they are just stubs, none of the apps in the app switcher are “running”. 

On the contrary, applications located in the application switch have background activity, which leads to greater battery consumption and completely closing some of them can increase battery life.


From my observations, I got more screen time when I had as few apps as possible in the app switcher.

Greetings. I own a iphone 12 mini, the same battery drain issue after upgraded to ios 17.2, then after turn the mobile off, wait 30 seconds then rebooting after start pressing up and down volume key the the power buttond hold until the white apple apears 3 to 5 seconda later release the power button , and then turn off and reboot until apple logo apears, them charge to 100% disableing the performance optimized charge until tomorrow, and my conclusion is BACK to normal, i've been using the iphone watching videos and games for 3 hours and 15 minutes minutes and still holds 54% batt, concluding it will last almost 6 hours easily with screen on at half bright and using airpods all the time.
