New iPhone 15 Users Disappointed by ‘Horrendous’ Battery Life

With the recent release of the iPhone 15, it was time for Apple to do an iOS update. When the update arrived, it proved to be troublesome even for many users of both new and old iPhones.

A Problematic iPhone Update

The new iOS 17 didn’t go down well. Many people had problems including crashes and overheating. Owners of old and new iPhones both had issues, especially a bad battery drain. There were a lot of complaints, and some users even tried to delay updating their software.

The high battery drainage was the main issue, however, with users joking online that even running a high-brightness screen is enough to send the battery spiraling. Some iPhone 15 owners were so disappointed they said that older phones would last longer. One iPhone 14 user complained their battery drained in just 2 hours!

Serious Battery Drain Issues

There were some good reports for the new iOS, however. Even with problems, users generally liked the new iPhone 15. One user wrote that it was far better than iOS 16. They added that their battery was doing great, while another shared they had an excellent battery life on their iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Apple certainly didn’t think there was a real problem as it had advertised a better, all-day battery life. While the iOS 17 may have had a bumpy start, things are getting better. There already were several updates to fix known problems, and more are expected soon.
