IOS update 12.3.1 now Battery draining

I called apple about my battery and they said that they haven’t received enough reports of the battery problem so everybody needs to call in and get everyone else they know to call in because this is ridiculous what they are doing to us!

Discharge rate on 7 Plus is quite variable but frequently runs down rapidly when not in use. Will often run down below 20% in the course of a day, previously very unusual unless in heavy use. Battery health shows 91% and capable of supporting peak performance.

Well you were lucky because when I first did it I did used my last backup but my phone started to overheat again so I had to restore it all over again and that’s when I decided to downgrade and not use the back up :/

i have 75 app and it took me around 3 hours to download all of them but also because my internet is one of the worst in the planet

dshunter1996 - Sorry I wasn't clear. I tried to reset to 12.3 but was unable for the exact reason you said. I did NOT have an iCloud backup at 12.3 so it would not let me go back. But in the process of attempting to go back it got worse. You must have an iCloud backup at a lower iOS if you want to go backwards. Otherwise you end up in a circular nightmare of logins and re-logins to nowhere.

I have the same issue, battery draining rapidly and charging more slowly. My phone is an iPhone 6S. I even went as far as to purchase a new battery for my phone because my old battery was operating at 80% capacity previously. My new battery is 2200 mAh and the old battery that came with my phone was 1700 mAh, so I should have roughly 23% better battery than before. However, with the new battery it seems to be draining twice as fast and charging twice as slow. My app usage it nothing compared to what it was before because I've been using it sparingly since I noticed the battery issue. I checked the battery app usage in the settings and it shows I may have a total of about 1 hours usage throughout the day across all of my apps (mostly background usage), yet I can't get through an 8 hour work day without my phone being completely drained before I head home. Ugh!!!

Now it’s obvious many users are facing this same issue. Note to add : my original charging dock gets unusually hot while the phone is been charged. Charging rate is as usual. Still eagerly waiting for the 12.4 official update.

I think what we could from now on is not update if your phone doesn’t need it, if it’s working fine with that iOS version and I have no problems at all I better not to update because normally that small updates that apple is constantly releasing are only to fix other problems, that maybe your phone didn’t have.

Of course when there it major update like the upcoming iOS 13 you can update

We have two iPhone X’s in our household. We installed iOS 12.3.1 before leaving on a month long vacation out of the USA on 6/5. One phone was affected by the same malady described in this thread. As we were traveling and had limited WiFi, we just endured the insanely quick battery drain on the one, using multiple battery packs to recharge along the day. There are no settings left untouched in an effort to correct this. We returned home over the weekend and I am now learning that this is a widespread problem. As Apple shareholders and longtime Apple computer owners, iPad owners and accessories owners, we too are rethinking Apple ownership. It has been over a month and there is no fix? Reset and re install all my apps? My time is valuable and I can buy another phone based on how much of my time this solution will take. Apple, you are asking a LOT from your customers to put up with these inconveniences.

I have THREE ipad Airs and all three are having battery life problems after the update. You can watch the numbers do a two second a piece countdown....then it gets to forty-something percent and turns off. It is horrible and as far as I can see, Apple support isn't admitting to it. They asked me to delete everything and re-install. All of the websites I have seen ask that you turn off everything and practically delete most of your apps to help battery life....it is HORRIBLE!!!! I see Apple recommended the one post that said "No it doesnt"...hahaha Yes....yes it does.

I finally, and reluctantly updated my 6S Plus last night. I started out with a full charge this morning. Took it off the charger and watched it drain down to 40% in less than an hour, and I wasn't even using it. I put it in low power mode and charged it back up, and the same thing happens. It drains down to zero while watching it. I have not placed or received any calls, haven't been using social media or any apps. Just sitting in my pocket it drains away. Battery health says 83%. Something in the update goofed things up.

Yes i had 0 battery issues than I installed 12.3.1 update and now my battery drains and drops VERY fast say it's degraded battery issues in the battery health which is bullcrap because I didn't have that issue at all before the update. Now battery has to be charged after maybe 1 hour total time on it. You can be looking at a site and screen record the percentage bar display drop rapidly while not even charging or scrolling on the site or page you are looking at. It's definitely an update issue because my husband now has the same issue on his brand new Iphone 7 and battery issue. Good marketing scheme to get customers to buy a new battery for their phone or have to buy a new phone SMH maybe time for me to go back to Android if I have to deal with this.

Apple Heres your proof stayed on same page did nothing took screen shots as battery went from 25% to 21% in less 4 mins.

I have checked this and doesn’t reveal what is draining the battery. Also noticed the battery will not charge more than 93%. It has been on the charger for 5 hours and no change.

Wifi and LTE delays when viewing videos.

SIRI hasn’t worked since the update.

Keyboard keys have been “stuck” several times.

Please fix this Apple.

thanks

In a strange turn of events my battery drain issue seems to have stopped.. on BOTH my devices. My iPad and iPhone have stopped draining the past few days now. The one difference I see here and all my past screen shots is no Siri Usage this time. Just about 2 days off the charger now and still at 66%. My phone Also shows little usage for Siri, less than the flashlight for the past 24 hours. So I don’t know folks, mine seems to have fixed itself for now..

I am having the same problems, despite restoring my iCloud backup. The battery drain itself when I am not using the phone and when there are no application open. Even when my phone Is turned OFF !!!

We had battery replaced with more power to handle latest software updates. But I'm still having drain issue... 100% battery drains in few hours without any usage and If I use the phone it drains in < 1 hour... Apple genius only has one option "Buy a new iphone"...
