battery drain iphone 6s 13.1.2

all I am doing at moment is charging my battery since the numerous updates of ios 13. If I never touched my phone the battery is phone, but in the real world I use twitter etc, check emails and text . I need to know what apps are doing this. I have a battery health of 86%. This is not funny now. I have better things to do than charge my phone all the time.

OK so I (erroneously) upgraded to 13.1.2 and I STILL have a battery issue with my Iphone SE. What I find is that if I use maps or some other application the phone battery level drops incredibly fast (minutes) to about 10%. The phone then enters 'low power mode'.


If I de-power the phone and reboot it then reports ~80% or some similar number. My phone was fine on the 12.x IOS so this is definitely a bug.


Apple, please sort this out. You are making your products less and less attractive and you are going to lose customers unless this is fixed. It is obviously a software BUG since this does not happen on IOS 12.x.

I am using Iphone 7plus. After update to ios 13.1.2 i am facing some problems like apps stop 🛑 working automatically closed. And major problem is my phone’s battery 🔋 getting drain so quickly. Before this update battery 🔋 backup was so good about to 28 hours after full charged. Now battery backup is about to die every 2 minutes consuming 1% battery. Why this happening what is next and solution.

I had this same issue happen. I am very disappointed! I have never had an issue with my phone, and then the update went through over night a couple of days ago, and now my battery is junk! Same thing, went to bed last night and got up with 1% and battery has drained at least twice today. Extremely mad that this has happened, as I love my iPhone! I really hope I will not have to get a new phone...I’ve planned on keeping this one for a while! 🤯🤬

i Have a battery drain issue after upgrading to iOS 13.1.2 on my iPhone 7, some 12 hours ago.

i had 45% battery life before going to bed. This morning I have 1%.

However, I have been using my phone for the last 20 minutes, or so, with still only 1% battery life showing.

Ordinarily, I would have expected my iPhone to have shut down well before now.

I too updated my 7 to 13, then needed to updated to 13.1, due to my phone glitching and running slow all of a sudden. Updated to 13.2 and my phone battery drains at an alarming rate, apps are slow, downloads are slow, data is slow, none of my charging cords work very well anymore and all of a sudden my phone battery is at a critical level and I need a new one!! If I’m not plugged in charging, I’m almost dead and this is when the phone is just sitting there.


I didn't have any issues before. I updated because my phone indicated they there was a new update! I’m very frustrated.

Since I updated my iPhone SE battery drains with nothing running. Battery health at 87% but doesn’t matter. Battery drained while plugged in charging as I was making a call. Today charged to 100%, unplugged it and the phone turned off and when I turned it back on it was at 10% and when I looked under Settings -Battery it showed it had had a 100% charge 2 minutes prior and listed NOTHING as causing the drop to 10%. Come on apple support and tech, fix this issue.

Same problem. It was fine until the updates this week 13.1.2. Now it's weird when charging. Charges either really fast, or very slow, or randomly not at all. Yesterday it died in the middle of the day with light use (never happens). So last night it was charged at 100% screen dimmed below half, and I woke up to find 1% with 2 missed calls and 1 missed facebook message. This is ridiculous! I don't even want to change my battery, and shouldn't need to considering it worked great 3 days ago. I suspect this is a pressure tactic to drop $1200 plus tax on a new phone. Shady and ridiculous. Disappointed, Apple. I like my phone. I want to keep it!

I've exactly the same problem! after upgrading to ios 13 I immediately noticed some problems related to battery consumption, apple support suggested me to download ios 13.1.1 it seemed to be a little better for the first hours but then it went from 90% to 10% in just 20 minutes of normal use. 2 days later apple support team suggested again a new update, ios 13.1.2 well.. it's TERRIBLE my phone is basically useless, I've to charge it 3/4 times a day and it gets tremendously hot. I feel very disappointed right now, if ya'll have any suggestions please let me now.

Apple, declaring ios 13 not compatible with iphone 6s and 7 would have been better.

This is the bane of my existence right now. I think I updated my iPhone 7 on Tuesday to iOS 13.1.2. I didn't notice a problem on Wednesday because I was only at work a few hours. Yesterday was my day off.


I got up to go to work this morning and took my phone off the cradle (Apple Lightning Dock) and drove to work. I pulled my phone out of my bag and the battery said it was at 1%. I thought maybe I had disconnected it from the wall so I plugged it in at work to charge. By 2pm it was at 100% so I unplugged it and put it back in my bag. By 4pm it was at 63% and by 7pm it was at 39% so I shut it off. Fast forward to 11pm when I turn it back on and it says 38%. I plug it in and get it to 65%, and by the time I get home it is at 9%.


Anyhoo, I tried to use a backup from August to restore it back to iOS 12. It restored to the backup but then it started updating back to 13 all on its own! Now I spent an hour rolling back a phone just to end up back at square one. However, the battery now says 85%!! And it wants me to re-update my watch and iTunes?


I have never had a problem before, and my battery health according to my settings is 90% original function.

I can tell you right now that I am not upgrading my laptop to Catalina anytime soon. ABSOLUTELY NOT!!


Now, I can tell you most frustrating part is, that during this whole scuffle my watch somehow got unpaired from my phone and I have to reset that too. GAH!!!!!!!

I installed iOS13.x and my phone heated up. I then started experiencing random shutdowns and weird behaviour. so I decided to install iOS 12.4 and it seemed that my phone was OK for a few days.


Then I started getting random shut downs again (iOS 12.4) and my battery manager was telling my that the battery needed servicing (or some equivalent message). So at this point it seems to me that the installation of iOS13.x had put a lot of strain on a relatively old battery and had likely pushed it over the edge as far as it's life was concerned. Batteries are only rated for 500 cycles as far as I know on my phone and I'm sure I was close to that. i've had the phone for three years so it seems reasonable that the battery may be old.


I have now replaced my battery and I haven't seen any undesirable issues (yet!! - I hope I won't either). So this seems to be the solution.


If your phone is showing similar behaviour then it might be the fact that the update put a strain on your battery too. Updating can be very CPU intensive since there is a lot of file decompression and building going on.


Hope this helps.

I have an IPhone 6S with 13.1.2. Since I installed this software my battery seems to drain down faster. My capacity is at 95. I think part of the problem is my 6S has a white background with black apple at start up bad design as far as battery drainage. Before I upgraded to 13.1.2 my phone would power up within 30 -45 seconds. Now it takes 2.5 minutes. So the solid white screen is on at least 3 times as long draining the battery. Next at times Siri doesn’t recognize some of my usual contacts that is use with hands free. I’ve been online with Apple Chat and the local Apple store. Their fix is to either wait for Apple Engineers to do their job and fix the problems they created or upgrade my phone to a IPhone 8. I did not suspect that installing the software would create these headaches?
