Battery Drain iOS 13.1.2 on iPhone

In the same boat.

iPhone 7.

Updated to ios 13.1.2 on Oct. 7...prior to battery would last all day with moderate usage.

After update, phone went from 100%-90% on the drive to work with no usage (half hour drive) and 90-20% after about 7 minutes of light usage (checking insta/reddit/etc.).

Further, my phone will not charge properly using the apple USB connection to a computer anymore.

It tops out around 30% and then slowly start draining down again.

This thing gets red hot when in use and while charging too.

Really upset cuz it is basically useless now.

God for bid I need to make a call longer than 10 minutes, it'll never last and my ear will be burning up.

Hoping for some sort of help or explanation is on the way as a battery replacement shouldn't be necessary for a unit that worked fine the night/week/year(s) before the update installed.

Same here! Just updated to 13.1.2 and the morning right after it updated my battery was going from 100 to 10 within 10 minutes of unplugging it. Then this morning it went from 100 to literally 1% then died within 2 minutes, then stayed at low battery (the completely-dead-red-battery-bar-on-home screen) for THREE HOURS while charging it. It finally made it back up to 79% after another hour charging and at least now it’s during slower. Only at 75 an hour after it was 79. So maybe that reset it? Idk. I called my phone provider for a battery and OF COURSE they “don’t do that” (TELUS). I feel like it’s a set up to force people to buy a new phone after the update 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

YES!!!! I thought it was just me!!! My phone automatically downloaded this new iOS and my battery lost 30 % power just 15 minutes after I had unplugged it from charging. I then used it for my sirius xm listening (which I use all day without any battery issues) and just halfway into the morning my battery is almost used up. I never had a problem until 13.1.2

I have been an apple user since the 1980's and am actually considering a non apple product..... I am getting sick of all these new fixes and changes that I find aren't for the better. (like now when you turn off and on the silent mode, it is so small, you can barely see it)

I made the mistake of upgrading my IPhone SE today and now my battery goes from 100% to 10% in about an hour and I’m NOT even using it!!! No background apps running not even email fetch! WTF APPLE!!!

I installed update 13.1.13 by mistake last night, woke up and went to uni from my house which is 1 Hour and 5 minutes, i used google maps and battery went from 95% to 20% by the time i was at the Uni, i had podcasts playing in the background.

this is routine for me, using maps and listening to podcasts in the background. But the battery has gone really bad since the update. I loved my 7 plus and was never going to upgrade unless it broke. But i think apple is forcing me to ditch my beloved phone and go for android or something. In the time it took me to write this comment my battery went from 34% to 32%. How the **** do i resolve this issue? This is a harsh joke by apple!

My son works in an electronics department and most people want iPhones, but since the upgrade he’s sold his first Samsungs. People are fed up.

Nonsense. People have been buying Samsung phones for years. I've no doubt that the store where your son works has sold lots of them.

What you say doesn’t make any sense. I have 3 IPhones: 5s, IPhone X and 6s Plus. I upgraded IPhone X and 6s Plus to 13.2 and now the batteries are trash. My 5s ( a 8 year old phone) still with IOS 10 and its battery lasts (with hard use) for 4 days. So what is your opinion about this?

I also decided to update and same issues. Unplugged from power this morning and never opened my phone. It was on 100%. Opened phone 90 minutes later and it had dropped to 94%. Opened email and went to this discussion based on latest emails and it has dropped from 94% to 87% in seconds. I will be calling Apple today and post later what they say.

I updated my 6S to the released version of iOS 13.2 and for me the problem is worse. Quick battery drain from 100% to about 50 - 60% and then it accelerates to 40% and then crashes. The phone restarts and shows anywhere from 1% to 9% battery and usually crashes again. When I put it back on a charger, it immediately shows ~ 60% battery!

I replaced my battery at the Apple Store about a month ago. Still 96% of battery capacity which is still frustrating. IMHO it should still be at 100% after only a month.

Right! My 7Plus is still getting hot and battery drains quickly. The last update fixed the no ringing issue, but that’s all. If they think I’m going to just go buy a new iPhone, they’re wrong. I’ll just carry my charger everywhere I go, till they find a fix.

@marine1948, yeah I suspected as much, but I still wanted to do it, because that way it gets into their system and hopefully will find it's way back to their engineers. Also I wanted to make sure I did everything I could. I spent money to travel in to Birmingham and it took up half a day of my time too. So when I blog about this, I am showing everyone that I've gone through the motions. In fact I needed to have travelled to Birmingham to done the full reset, they could have done that with me over the phone, although I could see all the stats they got from my phone and the activity and the Genius was in full agreement that it is an issue what she saw. That's enough for me. She had not seen this thread either. So back home now and up to 100% charge again, so will see what happens over next 2 days.

After a full charge by 13.48, it drained to the low 10’s in about 6 hours. And this was after a full reset and not downloading my apps. So the only apps on the phone are Apple apps as part of the software. This reset also did not work for me.

I also received this after some comments I made.

“We removed your post Battery Drain iOS 13.1.2 on iPhone because it contained rants or complaints that weren’t constructive. We understand wanting to share experiences, but these forums are meant for technical questions that can be answered by the community.”

You're battery draining in an hour gives you the right to rant. Oh, and don't expect the update offered yesterday -- 13.2.2 -- fixes the problem. I went from 100% to 60 % in an hour just listening to music.
