Did iOS 16.5.1 fix the battery drain issue?

Some users have posted to say that things have improved. Others just the opposite. But, that occurs with each release.

Perhaps more importantly, Apple has never acknowledged that an issue exists.

Many millions of users have updated with no issues. If this were a serious thing, the forum would be flooded with posts and things would be on the evening news. None of this has happened.

For what it's worth, no issues here with 2 iPhones and 7 other family members report the same.

no, actually makes it worse: my battery health is at 90% & I keep location services & sharing my location off, background app refresh off, mail fetch at 1 hour, auto - brightness, no bluetooth, auto lock at 30 seconds & no Face ID & analytics & improvements are off too, no social media apps & my phone lasts about 5-7 hours of screen time, sometimes 8 & it's a iPhone 13 Pro Max, lol

What battery drain issue?

I have no issues with mine.

For me it didn't...

Battery continues to drop at high rates

16.5.1 made mine SIGNIFICANTLY worse.
