The next step is to determine what is using energy. Go to Settings/Battery and see which apps are using the most energy. Apps are about the only thing that use energy (and generate heat), so it has to be an app.

Have the same problem with my iPhone 13.

iPhone suddenly drops from 70-80% battery to 10%. and then shuts down. If i plugin the charger and switch it on- it starts from 30-40%.

tried restarting, background processes are off, Tried removing all social media apps, no unusual activity from apps consuming battery. It just simply goes off.

Battery health went down to 70% which is not terrible (although not great) but did not expect the phone to turn from fully functional to completely useless with a single update.

Have you tried restarting the iPhone→Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


Perhaps a long shot:


Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN.
