IOS 13.1.3 battery drain

Well I guess another update, another waste of time as the bugs on the iPhone XR are still there. Weird battery drain. IT SHOULD HAVE MORE THAN A DAY'S LIFE OF BATTERY. I had to change my device for another one and its the same problem. When will apple wake up and start fixing this important battery drain issues. Apple support is stating a ' Hardware Problem' No I don' think so as everyone is complaining on these pages about how bad the software is and need a fix. My battery is at 100% capacity. It is a problem with the SOFTWARE. Also stop sending us links to apple's pages about lithium-ion batteries and how they work, battery performance etc... ITS A NEW PHONE. We need this fixed. Especially on the iPhone XR which should have more than a day's battery life!!! WAKE UP APPLE!! WE BUY PRODUCTS WITH A LOT OF EFFORT FOR SPENDING MONEY AND WE GET THIS IN RETURN. I know I'm angry but I've just had enough of this nonsense!!! :(

OK, do this-->Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support

Don't log in to iCloud, install any apps or add any email accounts, and check your battery life for a day. If your battery life is still bad restore your phone using iTunes so it gets a fresh copy of iOS 13. Report the results. If battery life is OK log in to iCloud. Test again for a day.

If battery life is still OK restore your backup and test again. If battery life gets worse you have a defective app. Start with Facebook as a likely suspect.

13.1.3 made a landline out of my SE ... from 100 % to 20 % within couple hours if I don’t do anything and the moment I start to use the phone it dies within an hour

You have to leave the phone powered on for at least 24 hours for it to accumulate data.

Guys !! IOS 13.2 is out now!

Yes, it is. And the release notes say nothing specific about battery life.

How’s iOS 13.2 working for you guys ? Has it solved the main issue ? 🙂

It will take at least 24-48 hours to determine if the update changed the way your battery works.

It does seem to be an indicator issue. My iPhone SE has been on 1% overnight (unused) and is still going strong one hour into today. I’ll see how long it takes to die

Ever since 13.1.1 my iphone7 will drain out even when powered off and being plugged in to power. 13.1.3 did not fix the problem. This is a serious ios bug. Once charged to 100% the phone will also require rebooting 5-10 times where the battery indicator will show almost 0% and the show 100% on reboot and bice versa. i have the screenshots to prove it.

What makes the phone drain out within an hour despite being plugged in and turned off???

Same problem here, since updating to 13.1.3 (4 days ago) the batterie of my iPhone7 drain in minutes, sometimes to less than 10%, and then reboots. before the update i never had any problem with the batterie life time and i could use the phone the whole day without connecting it to a power supply. We need a fix for this problem!

On 13.1 I got 18 hours of battery and for the life of me, couldn't drain it down past 30%. After updating to 13.1.3, I've lost 30% in 3 hours!! Same apps, same usage, every behavior usage the same. It's incredibly frustrating as I was thinking that Apple finally got it right. I've never used any iPhone where I didn't have to carry a charger and extra battery, old OR new. For about 3 weeks, it was really exhilarating and now I'm brought back to reality. Very disappointing to say the least...

Same issue with iPhone 7. Updated software to iOS 13.1.3 recently and immediately noticed battery drain. This was followed with phone rebooting whilst texting. Never experienced similar issues previously. Are there settings that can manage out this behaviour or is this symptomatic of software bugs? Be good if Apple responded here.

Apple store , Apple store ?! You expect everyone who has these complaints to go to an Apple store. Pathetic. What kind of lame excuse is that. Even You-tubers like I-device has been having problems. This is a serious bug. I think you’ve embarrassed yourself Rhazmee. ( You call yourself a level 8 user ) Not good...

Me too! It even happens to my new iPhone 11 which I have been used two weeks before I updated to iOS 13.1.3, the battery is noticeably draining faster than before. Hope engineers could solve this problem in the next update asap!
