Hi, updated my iPhone 5s iOS 12, battery dies quickly

Hi, updated my iPhone 5s to iOS 12, recommenced security update, since then my battery gets sucked within 7hrs. In battery it says screen has been on for 3hrs 23mins and off for a minute. It’s actually only been turned on for 1hr 30 mins. Why is so much battery gone?

another 5s does the same thing.

I’ve turned pretty much everything off.

Is there a fix?

iPhone 5s, 12

  1. Restart:  Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
  2. Reset:  Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
  3. Restore:  Connect your iPhone to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
  4. How to erase your iOS device & then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups.


If all else fails then make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar for service. If you need to find an Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple. If you did not purchase it from Apple then you will need to look to the vendor for service or How to find your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or Distributor (AAD).
