iPhone users took to Twitter to express their frustration of sinking battery levels after they installed the latest Apple software, iOS 15.4.

One user commented that the battery drain is quite ‘shocking’ for him

iOS 15.4 has mad battery drain. I’d say my battery life today is half what it was last week. Shocking!

iOS 15.4 is killing the battery in my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I could go for days without charging, but it’s down to half capacity by mid day.

Patience on battery issue

According to the tech publication, there will come a time after a few days of the update that the iPhone will regain its battery stability.

When new software gets installed, an iPhone starts to run and update multiple applications in the background. This causes the battery to index and recalibrate.

While it creates an impression of deteriorating battery level, it is actually not deteriorating.
