You cannot uninstall or also known as downgrade any software. After you update your iPhone, particularly a major release, it's normal to experience a temporary increase in battery drain and thermal temperatures. This is because your iPhone has to complete indexing data and files for search, updating apps and more. This doesn't last forever and should return to normal in a few days. For the best experience keep your iPhone on Wi-Fi and plugged in so it will complete these tasks faster.
