If it has been longer than 5-7 days since setting up or updating to iOS 27.0.1, then post the screenshot at Settings > Battery > View All Battery Usage and include both Battery Graphs and the top 5 apps consuming your battery. If you see a process on the bottom of the screen under other system usage, post that as well.
After setup of any new phone or update, there will be background processes being performed to index those files and that results in increased battery drain, increased heat, and some UI lag. Typically that takes about 5-7 days to complete and it is best to charge your phone all night, every night while it is connected to WiFi so those are allowed to complete quicker. That is expected and also seen in this Support Article provided by Apple.

Some things to look for in Battery Settings after that indexing has completed are the apps that consume your battery, including that are labeled as having Background Activites. Meta apps are known to be large consumers of the battery while it is harvesting your information to build its Social Graph. That is how they monetize their apps while it is free for you to download, and your data is being sold to advertisers.

Without being able to see you phone and what is installed, I offer these generalities:
— Do not use:
> anti-virus software
> "cleaning" or optimizer apps
> those useless client-side VPNs over-hyped in popups and TV adverts.
— Quit apps for which you do not need immediate access. Many browsers continue to "phone home" even when in the background.
— Remember that gaming and video, regardless of from a stream, your phone's storage, or a video-conference demand a lot of power. Best to do those while on the charger.
