Battery draining faster after updating iPhone to iOS 17.4

Hello,

Thanks for the tips, but you can read that anywhere. I've always had a good feeling with the iPhone over the last 3 years. That's been gone for a few weeks. Since IOS 17.4.

Now I always have a spare battery with me. I've only experienced something like this on Android phones.

I've reset the network, it said somewhere, maybe that will help.

Exactly what’s happening to me. I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max - it‘s been a disaster. I’m traveling now and google maps absolutely draining my batter. With 1.5hrs very light screen time, i’m at 50%. It’s still the morning. Very bad experience

In addition, just noticed the rate of recharging the battery is super slow!!!!!!!!!!

what a disaster!!!!! Worst update ever!!!!!!!!!!! Just turned off auto updates.

apple! When is the fix coming!?!

Same here, if they don't fix this fast I will no longer use Apple products!!! I have been hanging on a long long time, had the iPhone since version 2, and this may be my last!!

Do not despair. iOS 18 will bring great benefits. You will be able to place an icon on the home screen wherever you want, at your please! With some luck, you will be able to achieve the battery life you have paid for. Just be patient, do not despair. Buy another Apple device!

Buy a new iPhone 15 Pro Max! Your iPhone 15 Pro Max was designed to work well with iOS 17.3. Buy another one! Apple has great trade in offers. Apple cares about sustainability! Buy a new phone!

After updating my phone to ios 17.4 my battery seems to drain faster what should be the reason?

• iphone 14+

The reason is that you should buy a new phone. You have an iPhone 14+. Not even iPhones 15 get a reasonable battery life with 17.4.1, according to this thread! Buy an iPhone 15+ and pray! Do you expect Apple to care about people who have an iPhone 14+? My 13Pro used to run for about two days on iOS 16 and after a 100% charge. On 17.4.1 it runs at most for 5 hours! Apple cares about costumers, Apple cares about sustainability!

Same here with an iPhone 11 Pro which had a brand new Apple official battery installed last year. The battery isn’t making it through the day just sat in my pocket with very little to no use. I’ve also had issues with Apple Pay since the update.

I’m losing charge while it’s on the charger! 🧐 how is this possible? I have not changed my usage habit at all! And I refuse to get a new iPhone. I will get a Samsung in protest of this scam of an update!

New 15 pro, 4 months old and with every update, it gets worse and worse. I charged to 80% an hour ago. the phone is sitting on my desk and it is now 62% with no use whatsoever. I can't tell you how ****** I am that Apple can't get their **** together enough to fix this issue. I am so ready to switch to another brand. I have been buying iPhones since the beginning and everytime the same darn thing happens and I tell myself, this is the last time.

I follow every suggestion on how NOT to drain the battery and it's so patronizing to have the so called experts have the same "fix" everytime, AND...it never works. I suppose there will be another update soon to fix the previous update..that seems to be how Apple works. If you can take the time to fix it the 2nd time around, you can **** well

take the time to do it right first time around!

make something without greed and ego and the battery would last weeks ! All about profit unfortunately.

I’ve had iPhones since day one , as much as I USED to love apple .

I have iMac, watch, iPhone , etc etc

they are made to go wrong within a certain timeframe! We are being mugged off by MASSIVE greed that’s the problem. Not the battery or the phones ! The people making them and programming them

My entire family has iPhone 12 Pro Max phones and every single one has been having issues with the batteries having to be charged now half way through the day since the update. I have never had to charge my phone before I went to bed if even then. I sometimes wait till the next day. What is going on?

5 of 6 apple products are more than doubling their usual drain. The one that is not is my wife’s original iPad Air 1, which has been in constant use since she bought it new. It still has its original battery and gives her longer use than the year old one that I bought her since the original was no longer receiving updates. If you got battery and usage so right in 2010 why does my watch, iPhone, and pad all drain in record time. Going for the championship in the wrong direction! James

instantly after 17.4 update battery dropped 20% and phone will not reach full charge .. had ZERO issues before. phone charge would last all day and never get hot now my phone feels like it has been sitting in the sun all day long . Charged phone over night and woke up in morning and it was only at 77%. how do I back out of this update it has completely wrecked my phone. I have my phone plugged in to charge now and it has been 20 min and it wont mover % up staying at 75% ( shows Green Lighting blot that it should be charging but nothing is happening)

I need help!!!

Same here. Ever since I updated my IOS to its current version my battery has been draining quicker. I went to the Verizon store, and they told me that there’s nothing I can do until the next update comes out. I hope this helps.

Same with me too. I was told that it’s a bug in the update, unfortunately until Apple decides to fix it there’s nothing we can do on our end, IPhone users will just have to deal with it which sucks because we shouldn’t have to deal with this problem.
