iOS17 - Battery Drain Worse Than Recent Beta (lemmy.world)

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.

Isn’t this the same with every major iOS release? The OS needs to rebuild its caches, and that tends to impact on battery life, for a time, and then everything goes back to normal…

    I don’t think there’s any difference between the beta and the final release in this regard (generally, the official release has the same build number than the latest release candidate).

    From what I understand, the process can take a lot of time, as it happens in the background, when the phone is not actively used. And for power users that install .0 versions day one (which is really not a thing to do, but that’s not the point here), I imagine they will dig everything they can from these new versions, leaving less time for background processes to be run.
