is anyone else’s battery draining with ios13
iPhone XS
If your battery is really draining that fast, check the report of what applications are using Battery, as there may be something incompatible with iOS 13 that is in a tight loop.
If you don't want to do that, take your phone in to be examined.
Make an appointment with your local Apple Store to have your phone examined.

Others with the iPhone SE are not having this issue with iOS 13.1.2.
I opened a new topic, specifically about 13.1.3, based on my comment here. If you are having trouble with specifically 13.1.3, consider contributing there, too, so if Apple techies see it, they know that 13.1.3 did NOT fix the problem.

thanks. I read your thread before. It seems with mainly ipad.
I raised one as well for iPhone showing Siri maybe the hunger.
“With iOS 13, the Siri drains a lot battery while playing music with Bluetooth in the small hours. It seems the same even Siri is off!!”
13.2 seems even worse than 13.1.x.
Today I got this message:
All I'd done was open the app store, the battery dropped from 60-odd % to 9%, then the phone restarted and that message came up.
Battery health still showing as 100%.
Not true. My phone was fine before OS upgrade to iOS13 (ie IOS12.x). There is a bug in the power manager or the battery manager or some process/task that is draining power somewhere. Let's assume the phone has a battery capacity of 3000mAh. Now if my battery drains at 6%/minute (as per my video below) that would be a current of
3000mAh/60 = 1 minute of power at full power= 180mA. Assuming a 3.3V internal power rail, that's 0.594W (which you would feel as a temperature rise). I didn't feel the temperature rise but it may be there.
Anyway whatever the issue there is a massive battery drain somewhere and Apple needs to fix it.
I am having a very similar experience with my iPhone SE. It is definitely a bit unnerving to watch the battery charge percentage drop before your eyes in real-time. This has happened since IOS 13 and has continued on through each update to 13.1.2.
I am having this problem with my Xs Max too since the update. I can fully charge my phone to 100% at 3 pm and when I wake up at 6 am, my phone is stone cold dead. That is not actively using my phone during those hours - I have a landline for calls and surf on my iPad.
Settings tells me my battery life is 100%. There were absolutely NO battery issues before the update. It is clearly related to the new iOS. It was a night and day difference.
The only app reported using the battery beyond 2% is my calendar- which is crazy high (80%) considering I don’t even use it on my phone. I have gone in and turned everything off that I can for my calendar and set it to sync only to 1 month back (my preference is to sync everything, but I can’t live with these battery issues).
I have changed all my display settings to what Apple recommends for battery issues. No impact on my battery.
I have done the soft reset every day at least once - pressing each volume button, followed by long press of the other side button until Apple logo appears.
Their clearly is a battery issue with the new iOS and I am beyond frustrated and how long Apple is taking to fix it.
Yes, even after 13.1.2. I read on my iPad for 30-45' in bed, then put it on night stand. When I close it at night it is, say, 85% and when I wake up it is 35%. I called apples support and they didn't have a fix but are scheduled to call me back. The only way I can stop my iPad from draining battery power overnight is to shut it down.
Check Settings -> Battery for any apps that may be drawing power.
Also try rebooting your iPad; I have had a similar experience that was solved by rebooting as obviously some background process had become stuck in a loop.
Thanks for the suggestions. I have done several re-boots and the app usage seems normal. What looks off is that screen on time is long, right now 1h 4, and screen off is low, 1m. This is occurring when I'm not using my iPad.

And yet, others are.
Battery was fine before iOS 13. I skipped 13.0 and went to 13.1.1, then 13.1.2, and it's only since 13.1.1 that this has been a problem. So not an issue with my phone or battery - it's an issue with iOS.
I have something very similar with my iPhone SE since downloading iOS 13. My battery drains very quickly.
It shows that apple mail is using up a lot of the battery, a completely disproportionate amount to the amount of time I've been on it. For example the battery will go from 100% down to 19%, it shows that 53% of the activity has been Mail, and yet I've only been on screen with that app for 2 mins, and not at all in background. Also it seems to have difficulty downloading some basic messages in mail and isn't always synching what's been read. It was fine before iOS 13. Oh yes and apple wallet no longer works from the closed screen. It's a real nuisance.
I have experienced this with my SE since downloading the new OS last Sunday. In my case, the battery indicator shows fairly normal discharge over the course of the day, followed by a sudden drop to 0. The battery discharge graph shows this happening at about 8-9 hours of usage. My Transit App, appears to use a bit more battery than most, and I do open it around that time for my commute home, but no similar drop is apparent when I use it earlier on my way in. This is reminiscent of how my old 4S met its early demise four years ago - slow draining of the battery all day, followed by an abrupt drop to 0 with no warning.
I have the same problem with my IPad Pro. Never had a problem with battery life until I upgraded to latest iOS. Battery life graph shows a constant drain even when it is shut off all night. Tried multiple reboots, no change.
