Since getting the AirTags I've had Find My running constantly. Doesn't seem to drain my battery noticeably though.
I don’t have an AirTag but this happens to my 12 pro max and happening to husband’s 14 plus. Mine did not drain battery at all over night when I was on 16.1.2. This find my showing up on battery stats started with 16.2 and hoping it can be fixed again.
Put me in the “I’m getting seriously amazing battery life” camp. With my usage I’m usually under 15-20% by day’s end on my 14 Pro, but with this release I’m regularly going to bed with 40%+ remaining.
I’m not sure what they’ve done but this is the most substantial improvement to battery life I’ve seen on any version yet.

So what happened here, Brandon posted a screen grab of this in a video of his about iOS 17 leaks?
Better lawyer up @gwhizkids 😆😂 .Apple might be after you as part of this conspiracy.
The Battery Life on my 14PM is pretty good. The only problem I have is that the Mail App is having a lot of background activity. In the last 24h I have 7h28min Mail Activity in the background. I did a reset and restarted my device a few times with no luck. Very strange.

It's happening... Is this something new? News embedded inside Weather App. 👀
Yep this is a known fact since they launched AirTags. Depending on the device you use the overnight battery loss might be an issue for you or you’d just ignore it. I certainly notice the difference between when I have the AirTags connected with my phone compared to when I don’t but the convenience of having the AirTags outweighs the battery drainage overnight, so I don’t bother.
Try OFFLOADING the app. Then reinstall. (Don’t delete) this way you keep all your data and accounts, your basically just reinstalling the app.
It’s cleared up syncing issues, loading issues and notification issues for me in the past whilst coming through betas.

No. Not new. I've seen a few other mentions of this over the last maybe 12 months. Personally I absolutely hate it. Apple better not be going all in on this kind of new format. We should not have any form of advertising or cross-linking like that unless requested.
To add, I do believe it only shows up relevant news articles to the area that the weather app is set to. So I'm guessing you are in the area that the article refers to?

This! When I read through the battery complaint posts most are from the same people with every release, should be a clue. I’m on my devices, phone and ipad, all day - I’m retired so too much time on my hands. I’ve not had a battery issue in many years. When I was working, retired 6 years ago, my battery usage was extremely good since I was at work most of the day - 12 hour shifts - and didn’t use my devices as much as I do now. But with my current devices - iphone 14PM and M2 iPad Pro 12” - battery life is just as good through the day as when I was working, with the 14PM its even better. I have every location function enabled, multiple weather apps that use my location all day, almost all background refresh functions enabled, and all Find functions enabled as well, and a family tracking app that’s enabled for constant tracking. I see all these posts with people obsessing about these features, turning off all the ones that I buy a smart phone for, all to fix some battery “issue”. Most of the time the issue isn’t with those functions but some other factor, specific app or usage pattern specific to the user.
The only really significant battery issue I ever had was a navigation app - Navigon North America - that would drain the battery while in use even if the phone was connected to power. They eventually updated the app to fix this and I haven’t had a problem since. But new releases will naturally deplete more of the battery initially until all the background activity has settled down. Usually takes a day or so, which is why everyone gets quite a chuckle from those asking about battery performance within a couple of hours after a release.

Nope!
Nope!
Still having RAM issues, almost like there’s a memory leak going on and the phone slows down to a snail’s pace. Nothing loads, trying to bring up the keyboard results in nothing, etc. Having to restart my phone every 1-2 days to clear it out and I’m almost tempted to add the AssistiveTouch button to my screen just to be able to clear out the RAM on the shutdown screen. This is with 16.5 RC updated via IPSW.

The question is: what is in rc2 that wasn't in rc1? I've noticed no change whatsoever.
This isn't the same for MacOS where an issue I had with Music and Airplay which was fixed in rc1 has regressed back and reintroduced the bug in rc2.
Might have just been something to tidy things up or fix something small. It was not a large file (~250mb if memory serves).
Or they found a zero day and decided to fix it immediately.
