I have been noticing my battery life being lower after the 18 and 18.0.1 update on the 15PM. It feels like I'm ending my day with less than 20% battery when before I was over 30% easily.
It still gets me through the day, but not as comfortably.

Should've bought the iPhone 17 Pro, duh
/s
Yeah, I’ve been feeling this on my 12 Pro. Feels like a yearly tradition at this point.
18.0.1 seems to have fixed my battery issues on a 16p. My Watch Ultra was losing 75% of its charge over the course of a day until the 11.0.1 update. That seems to have returned it to normal. I don’t understand how this keeps happening with version updates, though. Having complete control of the hardware and a small number of models to test for should completely eliminate this kind of issue through basic testing.
A new OS release is the worst time to complain about battery life.
There are tons of background tasks, indexing and AI things happening in the background that users are unaware of.
Give it a few weeks to index and optimize and see how it runs.
I’m on the 18.1 Beta and battery life on my 16 Pro is better than it ever was on my 13 Pro before.
My 16p was dead by noon on 18.1 until the recent beta 7. Now it’s finally holding a charge through about 7pm when it hits 20%.
(I get up and take it off the charger at 5:30a)
Damn! I’m on 18.0.1 and my 16 Pro Max is at 75% when I’m done with work, listening to podcasts, watching videos, and browsing the internet all day.
Friend of mine with her 14 Pro is having major battery issues, my 15 is not too bad.
But yeah she HATES the photos app with a fiery passion.
Glad I’m not the only one with an intense dislike of Photos. I can’t see any upside.
here we go again...
I haven't upgraded my 14p yet due to all the bugs I've heard about in iOS 18. Also that the new photos app is a dumpster fire of changes nobody asked for.
I didn’t pay attention to these changes and just upgraded my phone. What a disaster.
No bugs here! …but the new photos app is for sure garbage.
I have not noticed anything but then again I’m coming to iPhone 16 from XS that had a battery replaced once already and probably would have to replace it again before it was usable again hah.
I’ve had crazy battery luck. My XS Max I just replaced ran from 8AM-6PM with constant use before it would die. Original battery!
