iPhone SE 2020 having battery issues since iOS 16

Since these most recent updates, my battery has apparently degraded to the point where it’s going to need to be replaced as it’s gone from 86% maximum capacity to 77% over the course of several weeks or so. It was lasting approximately 12-13 hours without apps running, whereas now I get 6 hours with nothing running. Is anyone else having these issues, as I’ve spoken to several others who have had similar experiences so I believe it may be a fault with the phones themselves that apple may need to look in to.

Hello,

With any new version of iOS there are always maintenance and re-indexing tasks to be performed. It should settle down in a few days. These are the standard steps for short battery life:

1) Have you tried a restart? If not, do it now.

2) Go to Settings > Battery > BATTERY USAGE BY APP to see the apps that are consuming your battery.

3) Check “Battery Health” in the link:

iPhone Battery and Performance

4) If all else fails, consider a battery replacement:

iPhone Battery & Power Repair

Good luck.
