Well, i was waiting for a big update to solve the battery drain issue from iOS 17.4, but the new update x.x.1 make it worse, now my battery take only 5 hours on screen. On iOS 16 it was so different, my phone had something about 10 hours of screen, now its less than half.
i have an iPhone 12

iPhone 11, iOS 17
I have finally found the reason for overheating and possibly also for unacceptable battery drain under 17.4.1 for my case (iPhone 13 Pro, 17.4.1). The culprit is "Require Attention for Face ID", "Attention-Aware Features" or perhaps both.
I have noticed that overheating always coincides with browsing time, comes from a specific spot in the back of the phone (roughly in the middle) and is not depending on the brightness level, on the connection type (wireless, LTE or 5G) or on the app (different web browsers, different news apps) in use.
One consequence of overheating was that, under 17.4.1, I reached max. 4-5 hours of browsing time (instead of about 10 hours) from a 100% charge and with 92% battery health (down from 98% since I have installed 17.4.1!)
Yesterday evening I came to the idea that the overheating might be caused by the iPhone continuously checking for attention before dimming the display ("Auto-Lock" is set to 30 seconds) because during screen-off times I had neither overheating nor significant battery drain.
As it turns out, switching off "Require Attention for Face ID" and "Attention-Aware Features" has completely solved the overheating problem.
Battery life also seems to be back to normal levels but I will have to check this through a few days of regular usage.
Hope this helps!
Any update of fix at all?..!
I have the same issue with my iPhone 13 Pro Max at iOS 17.4.1. When does Apple is going to fix it??
Same for me on 14 Pro Max. It’s not dropping ridiculously fast, but much faster than before iOS 17.
I have the very same experience. One charge would last 2 days and immediately after updating to 17.4.1 I’m fortunate if the phone makes it through 1 day without having to recharge.
Yea on my 13 Pro I went from 8-9 hours (100% of battery used) to now 100% of battery is gone with around 5 hours give or take of Screen on time.
standby time for battery is also terrible
Glad it worked for you too! I will be more careful with the upcoming upgrades: I am not interested in the advertised AI functionalities and I plan to stay on 17.4.1 and then see how it goes...
Also have this problem. Brand new battery three months ago (96%), iPhone 12, barely usable if I know I’m going to be away from power for a few hours.
Same, after 17.4.1 big issues as phone now overheats. Battery life is terrible. I have gone through all the suggested 'fixes' but still same problem. Apple needs to address this with a fix ASAP.
My phone battery is reduces when I am not using
How can I update that now
