Apple iPhone 15

iOS is not the same as it used to be once upon a time. I don’t know if it’s bad QA on Apple's part, I’m literally scared to update iOS even if it’s a minor update. There have been several instances of my phone heating up like an oven, rapid battery drain, laggy performance, etc, which get resolved after some updates and returns back later.

All this seems to be affecting battery health too. For instance, I replaced the battery for my iPhone XS Max from an authorised Apple centre in February this year and battery capacity has already decreased to 96%, meanwhile my dad who bought an iPhone 12 at the same time has a 99% battery capacity now.

This bad QA thing is not only with Apple but with every other Android OEM as well. I always keep my iPhone on the latest iOS version since the beginning, never faced any issue apart from the battery drain. There was a small issue in the iOS 16 update where the camera performance was degraded but it got fixed in the following updates.
My 2.5 year old iPhone 12 is on 85% battery health which is fine I guess. I never faced any performance issues tho. Heating is something which I encountered at times but I think it was pretty normal.
 
Last month I bought an iPhone 15 Pro Max and this thing lasts like two days without charging. I upgraded from a XS Max and in my last reply I mentioned that its battery health was at 96%. In just a span of three months (December), it went to 86% and was barely usable as I had to charge like 4-5 times everyday, so don’t know what’s up with that considering it was a new battery that was replaced in February.
 
Apple is known to play foul with older models , that said, it also might be
a case of old stock of battery which had already gone bad out of the box, maybe? Given that XS is quite old model that might have been the case
Or that the battery isn’t genuine to start off with , there are numerous ways to bypass apple’s non-genuine error.
