iPhone's battery is draining fast post iOS 18 update

After updating to iOS 18 I am not using the mobile as much as before but the battery is draining fast, does Apple have any profit motive behind this?

After an iOS update, it's common to experience an increased battery drain as certain tasks related to the update continue in the background including indexing, you should only experience this increased battery drain for a few days before it goes back to normal.


Also, Apple has already stated a while back that it had never, nor would ever "do anything to intentionally shorten the life of any Apple product.
