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.

I’ve been experiencing this thing too. Will the battery percentage be fixed after the update? From 96 down to 92 since the update. Apple please fix this :(

The software issue affects old / new devices. It’s across the iOS 13 user base.

Hmm. Then I must have an unusual phone. I'm having not problems with my battery. Or anything else.

Not “all” devices. Some do some don’t. But the point that I’m trying to make is devices old and new are experiencing this...

My phone has not been powered off since January 3rd. It has not been disconnected from the internet for more than a few moments since that time, as well.

iPhone 6s here. On iOS 12 i was ending up at around 20% at the end of the day (7pm). Now on 13.1.x (and 13.2 beta) I’m below10%, needing a recharge, by 3pm. Usage has not changed at all.

battery drainage, defaults altered, apps changed. Apple updates continue to be a horror show. If it ain't broke STOP fixing it!

Is this normal ? If my battery is at 100% battery capacity (new) but it charges quickly in an hour or so with the charger which comes from the Apple IPhone Box? Also it’s a 3 week new phone.

I agree. Also there seems to be other reports about bugs in iOS 13.2.( Apparently is bricking HomePod) This is an Apple Update that I’m afraid is ‘Pulled’.
