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.

main thing stopping me upgrading to 17.5 currently is the new airtag changes, how does it work in crowded areas such as airports.. surely they would flag on the peoples phones around you?
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?

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

It's better.

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
