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.

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 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.

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 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?

I've done all of the "things" one would need to to extend battery life and it's still so very bad. not only that, when I plug it into my MacBook Air it does this endless cycle of buzzing where it's recognized then it isn't... what's the deal! My friend told me that his Samsung galaxy charge will go all day long while streaming videos. If I say, "streaming videos" around my iPhone, the battery dies. COME ON!
