battery draining rapidly since 17.2 update

Since updating to ios 17.2.1 my battery drain like an open hose!!!

I sat here and watched my phone go from 100% to 82% in under 10 minutes. I had zero issues with my battery before the 17.2 update. I have an older phone as well and this is what Apple does. They do an update that screws up the old phones to where you have to go get a new one. This isn’t their first rodeo with this situation and it’s extremely frustrating. This happened before a few years ago with Apple when they did an update, and they intentionally messed up all the older iPhones to where you had to go get a new one. They played this game before.

Well I agree on this at some point, I have purchased my Iphone 14pro max in March 2023 not even 1 year has been completed, my battery is good phone is functioning fine and the battery life was more then decent so far. Just updated to 17.2.1 and BOOM!!! My phone is going from 100% to 50% in 8 hours when I am at office and just using whatsapp. Apple really need to test the updates before sending it to users.

YES FOR ME STARTED RIGTH AWAY ON MONDAY AFTER I FINISH DOWLOADING THE UPDATE I THINK IT WAS UPDATE 17.2.1 SOMETHING LIKE THAT I NOTISE A COUPLE HORS LATERTER MY IPHONE WHAT SHOTTING DOWN AND TURNING BACK AGAIN, AND SAME WITH YESTERDAY 12/26/2023 I NOTICE THE PHONE WAS NO EVEN CHARGING AT ALL AND IT KEEP DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN I EVEN LET IT ALL NIGHT YESTURDAY CHARGING AND GUESS WHAT IT DID NOTHING THE PHONE IS DEAD RIGHT NOW. I AKLREADY DID SOME TOUBLESHOOTING AND IT DID NOTHING. I CAME ALKRADY WITH A COMCLUSION THIS IS NOT A HARDWARE ISSUE LIKE REPLACING THE BATTERY OR MOTHERBOARD SPECIALLY BATTERY. MY CONCLUSION IS THAT THE SOFTware is broken and i been seen comments thta i t happend to them with ios 17.1 or somthing like that but for me it happended with ios 17.2.1 hopefully apple fixes this issues but i wonder how are they going to install a patch or update since the phones turn off so fast.

Very true !!! I use iPhone 14, before 17.2 upgrade battery was ok but now battery draining drastically. I have followed all the steps and tricks shared in you tube but no luck. Finally I found one last alternative is to turn off mobile data and WiFi. If I turn on, again battery is draining. I am facing this second time now. Hope new update may fix this issue. Please do keep an eye on Battery Health also, it will significantly drop

I have exactly the same. This is ridiculous. It's the same with my MacBook after installing Mac OS Sonoma. I am really considering leaving the Apple ecosystem. I own Apple devices with a value way north of 5,000 USD and I always bought the biggest version especially for battery life, and Apple just managed to destroy that value within a few weeks with bad software updates. For anyone having the same issues with the iPhone: Check out the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Looks like a way better way to go. Apple is not what it once was.

I just said the same thing. I will pull my entire family of 5 from Apple products for that very same reason. I think the upgrades are designed to drain the battery to coerce us to upgrade. If I do it won’t be Apple.

Same here, i fully charged my 14 pro at 11:20 and was using the camera app for a few minutes and my battery dropped to 90 within 5 minutes or something. NOT HAPPY

Mine too! I have a 13 mini and it ran lovely and the battery was fine then I did the update and it gets hot and drains like crazy! I refuse to get a big phone! The mini size is perfect!

iPhone 13 mini - suddenly draining at night while slepping from 60-70% to 20-30%. Not happening before that update, so far just usual about a few %, max.15% difference in the morning. No major changes in settings or apps, always very few apps allowed to refresh in background.

This happened to my Iphone7 years ago, Apple was also found to be guilty of overclocking devices to prematurely drain batteries. They had to replace a bunch of batteries because of that move. Looks like they didn’t learn a thing.

Updated to 17.2 on my SE 2022 a few days ago and today i charged it to 100% overnight and before i got to work it was at 87%. not too bad, seemed fine. had it in my pocket on silent and checked the time 2hrs into my shift and saw that it was on 2%...absolutely ridiculous. Charged it up to 92% for the remainder of my 5hr shift and just between 5pm and 7:30pm it is once again down to 15%. going to try rebooting my phone and charging it up tonight and we'll see if it does better tomorrow.

My phone is in such prestigious condition… my battery all of a sudden is dead by end of day when I have not used it much, I shut down background apps and everything.

Replacing a phone less than 3 years old at this cost point due to upgrades designed to drain my battery to coherence me into buying a newer model will have me leaving Apple products. Facts - will switch my entire family of 5 from Apple
