iPhone 15 Pro battery drain after IOS 17.4.1 update

Some fixes might help you fix this problem, which I discovered after exploring several blogs.

1. You should turn off your iPhone's Location Services. I would not recommend giving location access to all apps.
2. Some widgets, like weather and news widgets, might cause an issue because they continue to work on your device. So, if you are not using them, it is better to remove them from your home screen.
3. You can turn on Optimized Battery Charging if it is disabled on your iPhone.
4. Turn off the Background App Refresh Feature to stop the app from refreshing data in the background. To do this, go to Settings >>> General >>> Tap Background App Refresh and turn it off.
5. Lastly, you can enable Low Power Mode on your iPhone.

My daughter had a 13 pro and her battery life was becoming terrible so just assumed it was because it was an older phone. Spent the big bucks and moved to 15 pro (even tho I really wanted to wait on the 16). Had issues installing new iOS 17.4.1. Kept getting stuck and wouldn’t finalize. After talking to Apple support and many hours I had to update it via usb cord and the computer. I haven’t done that since before iCloud. They had no answer but I went with it. After the following day of normal use her battery was on 2% by dinner time. A brand new phone always has and should last the entire day on normal use. After research I disabled background update. Noticed her photos had taken over 4 hours of the time. I’ve never researched this before so not sure if that’s the issue we will see today. I’m so tired of spending so much money and time figuring all these things out. Her last phone had to be swapped out 8 months in from a default. I don’t feel like support ever has a real answer. And I’m over here turning features off that we pay to use so the phone is USABLE. So frustrating.

I have the same problem with my brand new iPhone 15 pro. The battery life from my old iPhone 12 at 84 percent battery health vs the new iPhone 15 with 100 % is 10% difference with the same usage over a day. There has got to be a software issue with IOS 17 that is causing the battery drain problems.

Exact same issue here with the same phone. Thought my battery went bad. Paid $100 at Apple Store for a replacement. No improvement. I can sit with my iPhone on a 15W charger and watch the battery drain. This is something new since the 17.4 updates

I have the same problem, battery drain very fast even disabling background app updates etc after update to iOS 17.4 (and 17.4.1)

I hope someone at Apple is reading the massive numbers of topics about this issue.

I noticed another thing. Since I got my new iPhone 15 pro max I activated the "optimized battery charging" - after upgrading to iOS 17.4 I find the battery charged to 79% ~ 78% and not to 80% as usual.

Just to give you an idea, I started writing this post at 79% after phone charged all night long and now I'm at 77%

My 12 Pro Max battery was fine, and so was my wife’s iPhone 12, until update 17.4.1! The update now drains my battery all the way down even when I’m not using it and my wife’s battery goes dead before she gets home from work while it used to last two days. Is trying to force people to update their phones? or do they simply put out poor quality updates? I’m just about ready to dump Apple. It’s time to start thinking about updating my phone and I’m pretty confident that I need to do something besides iPhone. Which brands have the best battery life?

Same. Just with basic use my battery on my 15 pro max is down to about 35-40% by lunch time. Normally it would be about 80%. Apple is always breaking our phones with these updates. Or a master plan to get us to upgrade our 7 month old phones

same issue with 17.4.1 in iphone 15.

suggestions here ask us to stop using a lot of features. what is the point of having these features then? Apple cannot provide decent quality updates to their prestige product. ? Ridiculous if you ask me.

Good morning…🤦‍♂️

It is no longer a novelty that every update in most cases brings problems. It is simply worth disabling automatic updates and before updating software, you should wait, check the information on the Internet. Look for reviews of not very smart users who did not disable automatic updates and now whine about the fact that their phone suddenly began to work worse. My 15 Pro is still on 17.3.1 and the phone works fine 99% of the time. Of course, occasionally there are micro-surprises (after all, iOS 17 is not iOS 5 or 6). In any case, 90% of the blame lies on the shoulders of users themselves because of their stupidity and haste.

after updating my iPhone 14 pro to iOS 17.4.1 it drain my battery from from 98 to 97 and over health

I have the same issue with my SE 2022. BAttery is draining like crazy.

We shouldn't have to do any of these things, since we didn't need to do them for previous versions of iOS.

I have the 14 pro and didn’t have any battery issues until the day I uploaded 17.4.1 and now my phone overheats. I went to the grocery store and lost 25% battery life not even on the phone.

i have the same problem on iphone 15 pro..ios 17.4.1 draining battery life..please fix it..
