battery drain iphone 6s 13.1.2

@jdbaka

I used ITunes 12.10.3.1 on Windows 10.

Based on just about 2 days after the reinstall of 13.3.3, I figure I have improved my standby time, based on 100% down to 10% from less than 12 hours after the update 13.3.3, up to about 24 hours. No calls, just looking at it from time to time.

It was around 36 hours prior to the update, so not as good as it was, but improved a lot. As previously mentioned, my battery health had gone down overnight from 88% to 78% after the update, but since the reinstall, is now at 82%.

I think it does prove something goes wrong with some people updating, as a reinstall has helped me. Just wish I could get back to how it was, might do another, but seems a bit of a lottery, and it could go up or down.

Yes, I have noticed the staying at 1% for a long time. I posted a bit a bit further up, but what I did this morning was turn off the IOS battery optimized charging, and I have just looked and the drain graph is looking really good to what it has been, I will not allow myself to get excited. Since I turned it off it is falling at about 2% per hour over 5 hours, and is nowhere near as steep as yesterday. May be it's simply settling down, anyway I will report back if it continues like this.

Hi all you fellow IPhone 6/6s suffers. ( Ipads as well? )

How about this....

I charged my Iphone to 100% at half past five and left it on standby. I looked at it again at half past ten and it was showing a red 1%.

So I tried a reboot, holding the home button and power button.

On power up it was now showing 76% but quickly dropped to a reading of 46%.

I did the reboot again and it was back up in the 70’s.

I have suspected for awhile now that my phone’s problem ( since IOS 13 ) was not a damaged battery but software that is mis-reading the true charge.

This confirms that definitely on this occasion it was a mis-read of the actual state of battery charge.

There are two aspect to the problems outlined in this thread, battery life and battery health. The health aspect, the capacity and degeneration of the battery condition, I believe, (for technical reasons), is a very poorly calculated guestimate, which Apple should address as it upsets a lot of people. (Ignore it!)

The amount of time and usage it takes to go from full to empty, which, judging by numerous opinions all over the internet, altered negatively coincident with updating to 13 plus plus, is without doubt due to bugs in the IOS. The fall off in battery life varies from acceptable, to rendering the phone not fit for purpose, and though many say the problems should be expected with with new releases, these updates were not beta's, they were official releases, and Apple have not accepted the battery drain and health issues as bugs, and as a result, people have decided to move on, but some, not continue with Apple phones.

I spent my life in electronics, including writing and debugging software and firmware in computers, and if we had produced for release an update as buggy as IOS 13 was, I would have expected consequences. I feel sorry for support engineers who have to cope with failures by the development department, and face customers who rightly feel taken for granted.

My wife looked at her battery usage, and Instagram was at 54%. And she wasnt using it.

Instagram update was released, and for the time being appears to have fixed her problem. We'll see.

Have you tried forcing App updates via Apple AppStore?

I have exactly the same issue on my 6s. 13.1.1 was actually working OK. I foolishly decided to upgrade to 13.1.2, and it became horrible. I finally decided to do a Backup/Restore. It got a little better, but still very bad.

I have the same problem - iPhone 7. after installing 13.1.2. In 12.* it worked perfectly.

It was fully charged last night as 11pm. This morning at 6am there were 1% left. Battery health is 85%. All apps was closed.

I have now (factory) reset my device and hopes for the miracle.

VERY annoying to spend so much time on this.

Same here. iPhone 6s. I replaced the battery at the apple store about a year ago. in iOS 12.4.1, my battery health showed a maximum capacity of 96% right before my upgrade to iOS 13. Since the upgrade, my max capacity has dropped to 92% and my battery drains in minutes!

It shows me that Mail is using 49%-71% of battery, but I have disabled all mail functions (now fetch manual) and still battery is draining. I was 100% less than an hour ago and am now down to 81% with low power mode enabled(!) What on earth is going on here? I leave low power mode enabled 100% of the time and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

If I don't leave my phone plugged in overnight, my battery is down to 19%-30% in the morning even though it was fully charged before going to bed?

Apple, please issue a fix for this! I would downgrade to 12.4.1 but you took that option away from us. I have a feeling that my battery health will be at 45% max capacity in a few short weeks.

I had the same issue.

Followed the instructions about deactivating location services and background refresh, but no change.

Then...... the phone was not plugged in, the battery was draining super quick and at the point that it said 8% remaining I turned it off and back on again.

Battery level went straight up to 32% and stayed there!

miracles do happen!!

On my iPhone 8 under iOS 13.1.2 the battery is draining at about twice the rate it did on iOS12 even on Low Power Mode. I'm not using it any differently, nor am I using the silly Dark Mode. I charge it fully overnight but by 5pm I'm down to 30%. This wasn't happening under iOS 13.1

Hey guys my iPhone 6s is doing the same thing Apple has a bug that they know about that don’t wanna fix it instead they will tell u to replace the battery which at $49 is bs it’s not just the 6s it’s from se all the way up just keep complaining about it the Apple advisor I spoke with did a diagnostics in my phone an after I called Apple out about the problem which is in the Apple Bionic chip my phone started to work correctly an charge like it should smells like another lawsuit might be needed

This morning I woke to 100% charged and checked mail, Instagram, and goodreads and my battery stayed at 100% for a while then only went to 99% after about 15 minutes. I thought I was back to normal until just now when I logged back in and opened up email and started watching the battery tick down 97, 96, 95, 94, 92, 91 right in front of my eyes until I went back to Low Power mode.

I checked updates in apps and saw that a couple of my apps had just updated so I think this is all tied to every single app trying to update at the same time since the iOS 13 update.

7 days after my last post and it seems that the battery life is improving. I went an entire day without charging and before bed I was at 35%. Maybe after the update the phone is "learning" how your battery/phone life is working and it takes a week or two for it correct itself. It SEEMS to be getting better but I'm holding out on my final judgment...

Same problem on 2 1/2 year old iPhone SE. I used to be able to go all day, numerous text messages, the odd voice call, WhatsApp, take a few photos and send them, and by bedtime the battery would be down to maybe 48% or even higher. Last night it was at 88% when I went to bed and drained to 48% by the time I woke up. I had it face down in a dark place. All that happened was that someone sent me numerous text messages. I'm about to leave on a business trip out of the country for a month. Verizon was absolutely useless and said I was the only person having the problem and said I should upgrade my phone. I know better than to waste my time calling Apple. My "solutions" are to buy a small portable charger to carry around with me, plug the phone in the car all the time when I'm driving, and when I'm out of the US I use an Android that I bought at Heathrow that I can put sim cards in from whichever country I'm in and just keep the iPhone for emergency contact from home (and with what Verizon charges, you don't want to use your phone much).
