My iPhone 12 mini's battery drains too fast after iOS 17.3 update

Battery drains so fast after ios 17.2.1 to 17.3 at iphone 12 mini, it was a nightmare at ios 17.2.1 about battery consumption, but now after 17.3 it waste battery even when screen is off, also background services closed, i can't understand why it is so inefficient after those upgrades, nobody knows how to fix it for real, my batt is at 85% life span, half morning use and running at 60% after 2 hours normal use, before should be at 80-85% use.

Safari is draining my battery. Deactivated lots of the useless stuff which apple is doing in background but no change. Hopefully I can get rid of these stupid apple apps with ios 17.4! I sometimes also have the feeling apple drains the battery of older iphones (14pro) on purpose to increase iphone sales. It seems as if ios is get even worse with each update.
