Isn’t this the same with every major iOS release? The OS needs to rebuild its caches, and that tends to impact on battery life, for a time, and then everything goes back to normal…
Yes, every single major release, we have to repeat ourselves on this. Tiresome!
Genuine question: Would the caching/reindexing have been different between the later beta releases and the final release? Would those incremental beta releases not have triggered the process each time? If not, then this explanation makes sense, though the one thing that doesn’t make sense is that I’m still seeing lower life after a full week.
Regardless, it seems like a nuke and pave is probably in order to see if that corrects the issue.
I don’t think there’s any difference between the beta and the final release in this regard (generally, the official release has the same build number than the latest release candidate).
From what I understand, the process can take a lot of time, as it happens in the background, when the phone is not actively used. And for power users that install .0 versions day one (which is really not a thing to do, but that’s not the point here), I imagine they will dig everything they can from these new versions, leaving less time for background processes to be run.
The final public beta and the release version are exactly the same build.
