I was getting all day battery life on my NEW S9 Apple Watch , but now I'm charging twice a day. And the same goes for my iPhone 14 Pro Max, having to charge it mid day now.. I've even erased/restored both, and after about a week or so (and rebooting and doing all the troubleshooting stuff), I'm seeing no change. If anything, my watch battery has gotten a little worse even. And this is a NEW S9 Apple Watch.
Just for a test, that is if your office/household can be interrupted temporarily, change the 5GHz's WIFI ID then configure the control channel @80MHz/disable roaming. Now you can test. On the surface 160MHz bandwidth sounds good if you have the right distance, in range longer it easily degrades the signal strength therefore the link speed is lower. That's wireless nature since it's asynchronous expect speeds of 50-75% of the link speed.
I hear you, your iPhone 15 experience is the slowest, it's same as my 15 Pro, Apple has yet to fine tune the drivers hopefully 17.2 brings a better one.

Have been using 17.1.1 on two different iPhones, a model 11 and 14 and the batterytime is great.
One is my main workphone and the other one is a testphone I use.
The testphone (11) has just been sitting there and I think it was around 30-40 hours since I last charged it. Its down to 86%. Main apps that's been used is the weather app and MS defender.
I wouldn't say it represents the average user since it only has the standard apps + MS365 apps, but still interesting to see that a phone can consume that little when its not being used and fairly "vanilla". Oh, and battery capacity is 86% on the iphone 11.
The 14 is being used more but same there, batterylife is great.
I'm not using any social media or IM software other than imessage and Teams on my regular workphone alond with the other MS365 apps.
The 11 was upgraded from iOS 16.3 and the 14 from 16.7.2
Wifi works both at home and at work but its fairly basic at the moment since I'm moving houses. A plain old ASUS N66 is being used until my regular network is being setup.

It depends on the router you have. If you separate 2,5 and 5 it doesn't have to be isolated networks.
Have a look what your Mesh systems like and if its possible to configure.
Mesh can also have an impact on performance, especially if you aren't using an etherenet cable as backhaul.
This is the recomendations Apple has when connecting things to a Wi-Fi 6E network
Use Wi-Fi 6E networks with Apple devices - Apple Support
Wi-Fi 6E uses the 6GHz wireless band to enable faster and more reliable wireless connections on supported devices. Here’s how to get the best wireless performance when using Wi-Fi 6E with an Apple device.
Battery life on 17.1 was better than it is on 17.1.1 on 15 PM.
All iterations of WatchOS 10 have had bad battery life on my AWU1

AW Ultra 1 and where I used to charge it every third day unless I was out on a day hike, it is now every other day.
10.1.1 helped a bit but it is still far from where it was.

Thanks - I have been to that.
Crazy thing is I am not having an issue with my iPad Pro 11 Gen4. Just an issue with the 15PM.
My original device was worse. This replacement is better. However it is still the snail.
Crazy.
That's weird though. If configured correctly, even separate 2.4/5/6 networks on the same access points shouldn't be isolated networks, and you should have no issues contacting devices on the other bands (printers etc).
That's interesting, maybe they do have different network components and that its a driver/hw issue that will be fixed in future updates then.
We have a number of new Macbooks at work acting up on the company Wi-Fi with connectivity and speed issues and we found that disabling BT and Airdrop made a huge improvement. Not saying its the exact same issue but its interesting to see how many of them that had a problem at work didn't have connectivity or speed issues at home. Quite possibly due to different network HW.
Same case there, we are waiting for Apple to release a bugfix that hopefully solves it or at least give a recommendation on how to configure the network so that it works with our new Macbooks without having to cut down on features.
When first set up, nothing on 5 or 6 could connect (like air printer) to anything on 2.4. Consolidated it and everything worked.
Be nice if I could separate and get it all to work.
Open to suggestions.
Its all down to how your router works. Some support communicating over the different bands, some offer the option if they should be isolated or not, and some just don't work or work poorly.
So have a look in your routers specsheet or manual how if it supports it.
Generally I find it that if a router can have one SSID they "should" support seamless communicating over the bands but its far from the truth.
Had a mate recently where we nearly threw the damn thing out the window before we decided to settle with 2.4 ghz on all devices. Sure, not as fast but at least all works.
Just wondering, is the random “phone shuts off/reboots overnight potentially shutting off alarms” bug fixed yet or people still having this issue?
I reached out to my provider (Sparklight) and they said that if I split, it does not support communication across bands. I can upgrade my modem to one that can and they would be happy to send one to me (with applicable fees).
For now I’ll just leave it as is. Perhaps there will be an update that fixes things since I don’t see this issue on my iPad Pro.
One thing I did notice that I felt was odd, on my S23U I have the option to manage my router from the WiFi setup. This option does not exist on my 15PM.
Thanks!
iPadOS 17.1.1. Cannot select POIs to show info in Apple Maps. Can search for them and then it will work. Anyone else seeing this bug?
Reinstalling Maps app doesn’t fix.
Yet another iOS/iPadOS 17 bug submitted to Apple with no response or resolution. Come on Craig kick some ass!

Nothing has fixed it so far.
Google Maps works 100%, and frankly is better for maps content, I just prefer the look of Apple Maps.
It's odd that the router doesn't support communication across bands. As long as all bands are in the same subnet even if they have different ID's they should be able to see and talk to each other.
How are you able to separate your clients to a certain band as you stated?
For my setup, the admin page has either combined or separate. For separate I get a 2.4 line, a 5.1 and 5.2 line, and a 6 line which I can name and password. I tried the separate and my devices on one line cannot see the other lines. Example; if I have my 15PM on 5.1, it cannot connect to my Airprinter on 2.4.
If I use combined, all are accessible.
