I also found the similar issue, the interesting thing is that the battery meter. My battery health is 97% (iPhone SE). After upgrading to the IOS13 (13.1.2), the battery drains in funny patterns, it drains faster if it is in standby. It drains until 1% and that 1% can be kept for a long time even a day (without enabling the battery saving mode).


It sometimes drops from 20% down to <5% within 1 - 2 minutes, if I am surfing net with Safari. My phone is not modified, the battery was replaced by Apple a year ago, I use Web version most of the time if it is available rather than using app. I am not sure if it is battery meter bug or Apple changed something to the code again.


I found this behaviour on IOS13 only not IOS12.




This is another example, you can see the last battery remaining which not making any sense:

Still experiencing the same issue on ios 13.1.3 - i would say it is draining a little less but my phone has been on 1% for 14 hours so far - making phone calls, using the camera etc. the problem is with the software not reading the battery properly rather than a battery issue - my battery health is at 94%. Is there a way we can report this to Apple? I don't feel like it is being acknowledged as an issue in the latest updates.

This is exactly the same problem as mine. Both my iPhone SE and iPhone 7 are having this issue right after upgrading to IOS 13.


I am not sure if Apple is trying to give people false positive on the battery usage to change people mind to buy a new iPhone :(


This is not hardware issue and purely software issue (again).

Agreed. iOS 13 (regardless of 13.1.1 or .2 or .3) battery life is a disaster. I have iPhone 7, 1 year old, 90% battery capacity.


The good news, for me at least, was I was able to ‘fix’ it via turning off ‘handoff’ (something I read on another post).


try it as follows:


settings

general

handoff

toggle to off.


I still assume this is a software problem because handoff was previously switched on on my iOS 12 and did not cause similar problems.


poor show Apple:(

I had same issue and was convinced it was a problem with the update my phone battery was draining fast but then lasting 12 hours on 1%. I took my phone to the Apple store after doing diagnostics with web chat support. The Apple store advised I do a clean install, so I did a back up and factory reset my phone. This fixed it and then i restored from back up. After a long time banging my head agains the wall - it’s fixed!!
