Some iPhone users are experiencing battery issues after the iOS 17.3 update. Here’s what you can do if that problem affects you.
It’s been a bit of a rocky period for Apple, with both iOS 17 and the new iPhone 15 suffering from a raft of bugs, some big, some scary, and some that are majorly annoying.
Now that the third update for iOS 17 is out, there’s hope that we can perhaps leave these irritating bugs behind.
After every iOS release, people are divided. Some say their battery life has gone through the roof and they’re super happy, while others will describe the update’s impact as abysmal, claiming not only that they are getting less battery runtime, but also that their battery health has plummeted.
If you’re one of those users who’ve noticed that your battery health has plummeted following the update, I suggest reading this article on what Apple doesn’t want you to know about your iPhone’s battery.
But it’s also important to note that most releases come with major battery bugs, not to mention others, that show up in the first few days. This realization is why there’s usually a flurry of updates in the weeks following a release.
If you’re experiencing better battery life, good for you. You can stop reading here and get on with your day. However, if you are one of those people who’s having battery issues, I have some tips and tricks to help you make it through the day.
1. Be patient
It’s normal to experience a drop — even quite a significant drop — in battery life following the installation of an iOS update.
