Extreme battery drain in iPhone post update

iPhone 12 Pro perfectly fine until this update battery health dropped from 87 to 85 in two days. Dies from battery drain every night. Updated all apps and I don’t have many. This is 🤪

Same issue on my iPad m1. I am getting massive drain on it. Clearly there is no real testing anymore before updates.

iPhone 13 Pro from 90% battery health to 84% in about 2-3 weeks after installing iOS 17.5.1

battery drains rapidly.

please fix this

Update: 3 days on from my first post I was hoping for things to get better (with a 'fix' released by Apple..?) but they've actually become worse.

My iPhone 13 Pro battery crashes within half an hour of taking it off the charging cable. I am honestly at a complete loss as to know what to do and currently using a cheap PAYG for essential calls when away from home.

I've attached a few screenshots to show what happens when I remove the iPhone from the charger…100% (supposedly) to 12% in 31 minutes, with no activity other than taking the screenshots. Battery health is still showing 100%!

Precisely why I stayed on 17.3.1, this is a good reminder not to jump on updates asap. Thankyou.

So I assume that Apple will somehow get to know about this issue? I mean what’s the purpose of this community if “Apple is not here”?

i think the problem in your apps

do you download any hard game ?

when you finish used any programme

swep up and close open recently to ensure thats programs are not running in the background and battery consumption

I have an iPhone 14 since middle of August last year. So around 9 months.

I updated iOS to 17.5.1 today. I had 93% of battery life before an update, after an update - 91%.

2% lost after an update, not doing them anymore . . .

I don't use my phone very often FYI.

Only for music and calls, eventually some tik toks. Daily usage is for like 2-5 hours.

Me also in my 15PM in addition theres is lagging once you open the application even in vids, camera and some other application its really crazy for a thousand box mobile phone you will get less.please apple fix this.

But if we are using our phones in the exact same manner as always it is reasonable to suspect the update. I have had this happen numerous times over the years with my iPhone 13, then there will be additional update soon after which corrects the battery drain issue.

Hello, I am also facing same issue. After updating to 17.5.1 my battery doesn’t last 6hrs. Before it was lasting full day. At night almost 40-50% battery was there. But now after update it switched off today. Apple need to bring another update asap. Even battery life is reduced.

I signed up here to specifically report the battery life drainage since the update to 17.5.1. I’ve had several iPhones and this is the first time I’m concerned about the product. I’m not even done paying it off!

Not only doesn't my iPhone battery last for a day of normal use after the iOS 17.5.1 update, but the update to watchOS 10.5 that I did at the same time puts my Apple Watch in the red before end of day too.

It is very frustrating, and my daily usage of my phone or watch have not changed at all.

This issue is driving me nuts! I am convinced there is something bad in the 17.5.1 update. Since I updated to this version, none of my batteries in my 14 pro phone, apple watch and iPad are holding their charges.

Hello, I'm using iPhone 15 Basic. 128Gb.

i'm having this battery drain, unresponsive screen and heating issues (Warm to Hot device) since updating my iOS from 17.5 to 17.5.1

My battery health was fine. But the Battery life wasn't, and the heating issues is very annoying.

is there any chance to fix this? Or iPhone 15 basic just sucked at it?
