Battery health reduced immediately by 4 percent after latest ios 17.6.1

I have always been keeping a track of battery percentage, every time that I have updated iOS 2 to 3% of battery health has been reducing. I am sure the battery is still at 98% as I have not even crossed 6 to 8 months of usage on my new iPhone 15, but due to software update issues, the percentage has been going down. Really disappointed with this.

iPhone 15, iOS 17

Everytime I have updated my device os system the battery has drained drastically. Latest I had updated to ios17.6.1 and 4-5% of my battery maximum capacity reduced this is really ridiculous by Apple . My iphone15pro is just 8 months old and battery has reduced to 92% . Worst phones and worst quality by Apple this time 👎. I’ve been using iPhone for 9 yrs now but never experienced this.

Batteries degrade over time with usage due to chemical aging, that's just how they work.

You can expect about a 1% drop per month with average use on an iPhone. This is an approximation, that is why it may be plus or minus a few percent on a month to month basis.

Apple recommends replacing it when it reaches 80%. To check your battery health, go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health.
