Battery draining faster after updating iPhone to iOS 17.4

I'm having the same problem. I just had a new battery recently installed, (by Apple) and it was working great until I installed iOS 17.4. I only had to charge it about every 3 days before. Now I have to charge it every day. I'm hoping an update to fix this is in the works.

Now I have to charge it every day. It also charges a lot slower. I'm hoping an update to fix this is in the works.

I'm tired of all the suggestions for hard reset. None of that works on my 2-week-old iPhone 15 Pro, and I've tried everything. This is Apple's problem to fix, and it makes me angrier by the day. $1K for a phone that can't hold a charge for a day?

Hey Apple, I've noticed my battery power draining quickly. Any chance you could help me out with this? I trust you'll fix it. Thanks! 😊Hey Apple, I've noticed my battery power draining quickly. Any chance you could help me out with this? I trust you'll fix it. Thanks! 😊

I have been on the phone with Apple 4 times since I got my new iPhone 15 pro max 4 days ago. The first tech said my HOT battery was always hot the first time you used it. She couldn't wait to hang up the phone. It wasn't the first time, but it was like a firecracker, and I have neuropathy, and it hurt my hands. I was having a host of problems with my new phone, and what a lengthy setup process it was and still is, as it keeps asking me the same things 2-4 times after I have allowed or not allowed things. Does it not retain the answers but keep beating you up? Siri wasn't working right, and then it stopped working at all. Compared to Hey Google, I prefer Google over Siri any day. Siri says Mmm and then, most of the time, she gives me a list to read instead of her knowing things and speaking them out loud. I have visual issues and do not want to sit and read what Siri gives me. Google answers aloud and speaks in detail; why can't Siri, especially when it is a $1,200 phone?!! This is my first iPhone, and I am not thrilled. Also, the Apple reps have not been of much help at all. I thought Apple was the best.....but so far not happy.

My iPhone 13 Pro Max had about 60% charge at the end of the day before upgrading to ios 17.4.

After the upgrade, it's common to go under 20% with the same usage, even with charging a bit mid day. My battery life with the ios 17.4 is significantly worse than before the upgrade.

Dopo l'aggiornamento ad iOS 17.4 sul mio iPhone 15 Pro la batteria ha iniziato a perdere la carica ogni ora.

Durante la notte, *** nessuna app in background, consuma il 15% di batteria.

*** iOS 17.3.1 la batteria durava molto di più e la caricavo ogni due giorni. Ora sono obbligato a caricare l'iPhone una volta al giorno, se non di più.

Inaccettabile questa cosa.

Signori di Apple RISOLVETE.

I got the 17.4.1 update yesterday, hopefully this will fix the battery drain issue. It’s now 5.25 am and I am on 80% battery. I will use my phone as I usually do and get back in this thread later this evening.

Apple how come I am seeing this issue from back in December 2023! Why is the still an issue almost 5 months later!!! For such an expensive phone!! Do better!! Fix the battery drain! My iPhone 13's battery was way better .....

Interesting. And in my post on top of yours, my solution seems to be working for me…….double charge within the first ten percent drain in the am. As for your solution, the only one still on for me was significant locations and I turned that off. Will check for tomorrow. Gracias 😀

I'll try it, but isn't it ridiculous that we have to turn off so many things in order to have any battery life? I've never been so unhappy with an Apple purchase (iPhone 15 Pro 3 weeks ago). I wish I had checked the forums before I traded in my 14.

Yes, all this is very sad. I have been a long time Android user and switched to iOS and iPhone 13P about one year ago, mainly because of the excellent battery life and of the almost normal screen aspect ratio of iPhones against Android devices. Now comes this iOS 17 crap ...

I was just informed that my post was removed for voicing my concern on this same issue.

If Apple are censoring these posts when we raise these issues, then where are we supposed to provide necessary feedback?

My original post was removed, so adding this again here.

Just joined this community due to the battery drain on 2 iPhone SE 2020 (2nd Gen) phones - mine and my partner's.

The latest update has made both phones (A grade - perfect condition, original box, accessories etc) unsellable at CEX due to the battery drain since iOS 17.4 update. My intent was to purchase 2 new iPhones, but understanding this is even affecting the latest models has me very concerned.

Hello

the same applies to me too. Since the update to 17.4, 
the battery drains by about 25% overnight in airplane mode.
I have an iPhone 12 mini. All updates.
I always got through the day well.
In desperation, I had the battery replaced at the Apple Store over the weekend.
But the 3 year old battery probably wasn't the problem.
A call to support wasn't very helpful.
The solutions here are very different.
What helps now?
I would like to avoid a complete reset of the cell phone.
Help!
