iPhone Users Declare Latest Update as "Battery Killer"

California: iPhone users have bombarded social media platform Twitter with complaints about the latest Apple update, which they are calling the 'battery killer.'

According to the reports, the most recent iOS 16.5.1 (c) release is causing significant battery drain issues for their devices. One user reported that their battery depleted from 77% to zero during the update process.

Other users also raised concerns about their phones overheating after the update. Some even claimed that holding the phone for an extended period felt like their hands were burning.

In the wake of these issues, several iPhone users are seriously considering switching to Android devices. One user wrote that whatever hidden tweak was included in this new update seems to be wreaking havoc on their device's battery life. They wonder if there's any way to undo the damage caused.

The iOS 16.5.1 (c) update was rolled out alongside the iPadOS 16.5.1 (c) last week. Apple had released this update to address display issues with certain websites correctly.

This rapid security response involves a new type of 'money' malware release, which tends to emerge during significant updates on iPad, Mac, and iPhone devices.
