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.

    Maybe I’m entirely wrong: isn’t this the forced obsolescence that Apple is famous for?

    Apple does not and never has practiced forced obsolescence. In fact, quite the opposite, as iOS is supported in iPhones for much longer than any version of Android ever is.

    The “famous” story is about Apple keeping your phone alive by (necessarily) throttling the CPU when your battery was worn out, so that it wouldn’t shut down due to lack of power.

    If they did anything wrong, it was not explaining this well enough.
