Has anyone else seen a dramatic drop in battery life after updating to the final release of iOS 17?

My 12 Pro was doing fine on the last few beta releases and the battery life has tanked in the last week or so. I’m not doing anything different, so I wanted to see if other beta users saw the same change after updating.

My phone feels about the same but watchOS 10 wrecked my Apple Watch. I used to end the day at 30-40% and now it’s barely hanging on by 7pm

I noticed the same on my Series 4, which, as old as it is, used to last me through the day with about 30% left by 8pm. I had to turn on the low power mode yesterday at noon with around 60% and then it died by 7pm

It’s about the same here for me. It’s just not made to handle that much color all the time.

I get the feeling that it’s not going to get WatchOS 11.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t get WatchOS 11. In fact, I think the Series 4 and 5 will be considered obsolete next year since they are using basically the same SiP.

I’ve seen the same with my series 6. I would usually end the day around 35% and now it is under 10%

My series 5 had had a big drop in battery life, too. I hope they figure it out because I do like the update.

Same here. Not sure I’ll update to a new Apple Watch though. Coros is looking really nice and affordable.
