Now that comes a huge problem for Apple as the iOS 16 countered the battery draining issue in iPhones. Apple smartphones have been fighting against the battery life for a while now. With every major iOS upgrade, many users reported facing a drop in the battery life of their iPhones. So when iOS 16 fixed that issue, it didn't only bring relief, but also increased the longevity of older iPhone variants.

As many iPhone users complain about losing the juice running their device short, we hope Apple will fix this problem with their next iOS 16 update or with the iOS 17. The Cupertino-based tech giant is currently working on iOS 16.5 update which should be the last upgrade for the iOS 16.
