My iPhone (X) even acknowledges this. In the Battery section in settings it says:
Recent Usage
Your iPhone has been used more than usual since upgrading iOS, which may affect battery life.
I have not been using it more myself.
There are no obvious candidates in the list of programs taking up battery power, so I reckon it is iOS itself.
