iOS17 - Battery Drain Worse Than Recent Beta (lemmy.world)

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.

Once Sonoma is out, Big Sur won’t see any more security updates. Apple only updates the lastest three versions of macOS.

The bigger problem is software applications increasing there minimum macOS version very quickly once Apple stops supporting the OS version.

Apple is the worst with this with Xcode increasing the minimum macOS version each year. You can’t stay on old Xcode versions, at least for iOS development, as Apple requires a certain version to submit to the AppStore. This in effect causes devs to have to buy new hardware quickly after Apple drops support.
