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.

Apple: Either you are better than this. Or you're not. Which is it? No battery, no worky. No worky, no Apple.

Beta test your stuff before you dump it onto us. If we can't work with you, we'll work without you. FIX IT.

And leave the photo app alone. You've screwed it up too many times already. Trying to look "new" isn't working

Really it is shame on apple and its approved maintenance shop here in jeddah (arab computer) and call center in duabi because again:

problem in battery(draining)

problem in connectivity and sound with airpods (2 times sent to them , they are telling no prob, even i did restore for my iphone and prob still there), they should give a new one as this is the 6 times going to maintenance and they are worry to get a decision for giving new one (my airpods still under warranty).

Yes, I have the same problem on my IPhone 7 Plus since doing the update. I chatted with Apple and they tested my battery and said it was good, then they had all these different things for me to enable and it still does it. I just paid my phone off and not getting another new one, they need to fix this problem. I have never even gotten down to 70% on my phone in a day and now before 10am it goes down to 60% with just checking my messages every once in a while. Very frustrated.

iPhone 6s here. With iOS 13.2 Battery goes from 100% to 70% in 2 hours. The battery graph shows a steep 60-70 degree slope. All I do is read morning news on CNN and BBC etc. I have to charge at least twice a day to keep it from dying. I now have the phone connected to a heavy external battery whenever it is in my pocket. And before you ask, it has an Apple replaced battery in good health at 88% maximum capacity.

Same issue here. Used to get at least 2 days out of the battery on my iPhone XS and since IOS upgrade I'm lucky if I get 1 day. Clearly a software fault and if it's a ruse to get me to buy another iPhone it ain't going to work. After spending £1k on this model I'm not changing for a LONG time. I'm fed up of Apple nobbling any previous models to get people to get the latest model.


Wife the same on her iPhone SE, complaining of terrible battery drain since iOS upgrade. Not sure which version of 13 it was when it started, might even have been 13.0.

This is really starting to annoy me! Apple how can you NOT get the foundation right. You shouldn’t rush out with updates. WHAT happened to the focusing on stability and performance. The building of a house is the first step(foundation).. then you can add in furniture!( New features) The Bloomberg Report really made me sick. Apple being a big company and not being Apple to get a grip. Shame
