After iOS 15.4 dropped on March 15, many users reported surprising battery drain problems with their iPhones, which is admittedly an issue that arises frequently for new iOS updates. What doesn’t happen every day, is that Apple has weighed in.
The Apple Support Twitter account has tweeted to a user complaining about the iOS 15.4 update battery drain issue, confirming that “it’s normal for your apps and features to need to adjust up to 48 hours after an update”.
So that confirms it: your phone will require more juice for a few days after downloading the update, to let apps settle in. Make sure to keep your charger or handy power bankwith you for a bit.
If you remember when you first got your smartphone and set it up, you might recall finding its battery a little erratic for the first few days, and that’s because apps sometimes need to adjust or ‘bed in’ a little when they’re first installed, or provided new software in this case.
That’s why, at TechRadar, we always test a phone for over a week, and ideally several weeks, to ensure we get a good read on the real battery life…
