iOS 17.2.1 Release Notes Mention Battery Drain Fix in Some Countries

The CISA alert may be referring to 17.2. After all, iPadOS 17.2.1 did not happen yesterday. And any Safari-based vulnerability that affects iOS and macOS would presumably also affect iPadOS.

Presumably. But there have been odd differences. I know it’s a different system, but for some reason iPads were not affected by the Bluetooth spam attack. One would think they would be. I thought it was strange there was no iPadOS update as well.

that is interesting. I understand that iOS comes in many different languages, from a UI perspective, but battery drain issues in certain countries? are some features only available in certain countries?

The battery drain was probably caused by displaying large amounts of hanzi/kanji. ;)

By the way, typing uppercase letters doesn’t cause battery drain.
 
Was experiencing severe battery drain on iPhone 14 Pro. Applied update today, we'll see if anything improves. :rolleyes:
 
Noticing I still have to re-launch Find My to see other peoples locations, no matter how long I wait it never refreshes their new location unless I quit the app and relaunch it :rolleyes:

Very funny, Apple. Let me know when Apple actually makes it so that updates only bring features and improvements instead of being lag-inducing, battery-draining garbage. Until then, any claims of battery and/or performance improvements are just that, baseless claims.

And for ALL supported devices, not just the latest or the previous model to the current one.
 
Coming from an 8+ to a 15p, battery on 15p is poor. Especially these first few weeks. Placing both on airplane mode, fully charged at night, 8+ loses none or maybe 1%, the 15p always loses 10% or more. In day to day use, I have turned off 5g auto, and this has helped the 15p hold more charge for longer - but the 15p won't make a days use.

The issue appears improved with new 17 update, I hope it continues too.

Could be a complex interplay with different cellular bands or something along those lines

Or it just never picked up media steam in the west which is when Apple publically says things are fixed

Spot on, there are big differences in cellular technologies being used depending on what country you are in.

There might be things such as bugs only affecting certain networkbands. Lets say a bug is being introduced in a iOS release that only affects the 700Mhz 4G/LTE band, this means one cellular provider with a certain network/cellular equipment might be causing a lot of problems while another might not.

That's why its fairly vital to provide info when giving info to the support if you haven an issue or posting a rant on a forum.

At the time of writing: "iOS 17.2.1 This update has no published CVE entries."
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222
But CISA says: "Apple has released security updates to address vulnerabilities in Safari, iOS, iPadOS, and macOS Sonoma. A cyber threat actor could exploit one of these vulnerabilities to obtain sensitive information."

Technically still true since it doesn’t seem to have been assigned a CVE. Not that that necessarily means anything.
