Battery life on my 2022 SE has improved, 17.4.1 caused serious drain, I was down to 25% battery by 8pm. Checked last night and I was down to 47% with light to moderate usage.
Yes same here with 12Pro. Much improved on 17.5.
I have an annoyance with my phone(s) - maybe here is the place someone might know a solution.
The new(ish) airdrop thing where putting two iPhones next to each other automatically opens a screen for you to share your contact details, is a bit of a pain. Because I have a personal and a work phone, both of which are iPhones, and both of which live in the same pocket. So they're constantly opening that page.
Is there a way to turn off that functionality, or better still tailor it to stop doing it for a particular phone?

How to use AirDrop on your iPhone or iPad – Apple Support (UK)
Use AirDrop to share and receive photos, documents and more with other Apple devices that are nearby.
Maybe something in there.

Settings -> General -> AirDrop. Turn off 'Start sharing by bringing devices together'. I've done it for the same reason on both my iPhones. You can't turn if off just for a specific remote phone.
Yeah I turned that off too.
I’ve been using the google lens image search shortcut feature quite a lot since I found out about it last week.
I’ve got it set up so when you triple tap the back of the phone, it takes a screenshot and does a google image search. The equivalent to Samsungs AI image circle search

For the first time ever my iPhone actually auto updated to 17.5.1
I turned it off on my work phone, which I can never see me needing to use that function for. Left it on for my personal phone, where there's a tiny chance I might. This resolves the issue, as they don't try it with each other any more.
But tell me more about this google lens shortcut! Being able to take a photo and immediately search it sounds like a useful tool.
Yea it's really useful. You'll need to download the Google app.
Then set up a quick shortcut like this
Once you've set up that shortcut, go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap. Then choose double or triple tap and select 'Search Your Screenshot' under Shortcuts.
Then whatever you're viewing can be searched using google lens with just a back tap
It's so handy, didn't think I'd use as much
