In responding to complaints that the latest iOS 15 update is causing iPhone batteries to drain faster, Apple’s support team has responded and suggested a solution.
William Gallagher for AppleInsider:
It’s quite common for an iOS update to cause faster than usual draining of an iPhone battery, with it being seen for instance after iOS 14.6. Similarly, users complained about the same problem when the iPhone 12 Pro came out.
With the issue affecting an unknown number of iOS 15.4 users, though, Apple has offered an explanation and suggestion.
It’s not an acknowledgement of any unusual battery drain issue. Instead, it’s advice that could be applied after any update.
Yes it’s draining fast after iOS #ios15.4 update #Apple

MacDailyNews Take: Yes, “iOS 15.4 battery drain” is not a thing. It’s a normal adjustment period after an update. Give it up to 48 hours or normalize.

(Apple stock owning yellow journalists): Yes, “iOS 15.4 battery drain” is not a thing. It’s a normal adjustment period after an update. Give it up to 48 hours [to] normalize.
(Apple stock owning yellow journalists) are on the uppers today then? A dot update does not justify a battery losing 5% in ten minutes, across a 48 hour period. It’s sickening and why does this Apple stock owning yellow journalist site say that’s okay today?
iOS 15.4 still hasn’t fixed my iCloud photo sync problem. Photos taken on my iPhone go to the cloud but not in reverse from iPad or media imported to Photos on Mac. But Apple have the audacity to say they fixed (what they broke) when they haven’t.
What’s your excuse for that Apple stock owning yellow journalists? Will look out for your rent at Apple tomorrow then?
NONSENSE! Rapid battery drainage after installing iOS15.4 IS A THING! It’s been a week since I updated and the battery in my 6s still ‘disappears’ at the rate of 25% per hour in standby mode. WTF! My iPhone has to be plugged into a charger at all times and is no longer a “mobile” phone.
Probably coincidence. If you have a 6s, you should update your phone or replace your battery.
Of course, you could just be facetious 😉
I experience battery drain but also a dropping hotspot connection after installing iOS15.4 and Monterey 12.3
For what it’s worth, I haven’t noticed any battery issues since updating my iPhone 13 Pro.
As for Jeff, who’s still rocking an iPhone 6, you DO realize that virtually every carrier will GIVE YOU A NEW PHONE if you agree to a two-year contract… I like to keep my Apple products as long as possible (my go-to laptop is a 15-inch Mac Book Pro from 2013), but if Apple said I could get a new laptop for free, I’d be the first guy in line…
