Severe battery drain, iOS 13.1.3, iPad Pro

Perhaps I am incorrect, however, before updating to to IPadOS 13, I never experienced battery drain when I closed the cover. I could leave it for days and not experience power loss. Now I lose 50% overnight when there is no activity.

I am convinced something has changed, and judging by the large number of other people complaining about the same thing, I think I am correct.

I think I am encountering with iPhone with 13.1.3

“With iOS 13, the Siri drains a lot battery while playing music with Bluetooth in the small hours. It seems the same even Siri is off!!”

If no one posts feedback to Apple, they may not even be aware of this issue/problem.

The best you can do is alert Apple to this growing issue.

The only way to get Apple to, DIRECTLY, listen to you is to use their feedback portion of their website.

iPad Feedback

http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Cognizant Apple employees read ALL feedback generated from all of the various feedback pages and transfers the data to the proper and responsible Apple teams and personnel , but NO Apple employees will ever respond with any type of direct, individual replies from the feedback you post.

The more users that post product feedback about any product issue, the faster Apple is made aware and starts working on a fix/solution for a future software update.

Also, you may want to phone contact Apple, directly in Cupertino, California, and calmly talk to an Apple customer service employee about this issue via the link below.

i only have background app refresh on for only those apps I regularly use and turn/toggle background app refresh to OFF status for any apps that really do not need to use this feature or for any apps that I do not want to constantly access the Internet in the background, slowing any performance of my iOS devices.

If you like, tap on my iPad performance/battery saving tips link, below.

I use ALL of these tips on all of my iOS devices and even on my much more powerful iPad Pro because it makes it even that much quicker.

Slow iPad on iOS 9, 10 or 11! - Apple Community

Try all of these tips and leave each tip active together.

DO NOT simply try every tip individually, expecting just one tip to be a performance “cure all”!

Many of these tips are designed to work together to help improve overall iOS/iDevice performance and battery optimisation.

Good Luck!

Have you tried ANY and ALL of possible solutions provided in this posting?

Have you tried doing a few hard resets of your iPad in a row?

What about doing any other battery saving procedures mentioned here?

Reducing screen brightness?

Toggle OFF Background App Refresh for those apps that do not need this feature OR toggle OFF this setting globally for the entire iPad?

What about trying out my own iPad performance tips mentioned on past pages of this posting?

I'll post it again.

Hello iPad Pro users - I've made a new post about this issue but I'll comment here as well - I've tried every single step and worked with an Apple adviser - battery time went from 20 hours to 4 hours - the adviser just washed her hands of it and said well buy a new device. This one is still new!! Barely two years old.

I did a complete factory restore from scratch - not from backup - and still no improvement.

Apple dropped the ball and left us iPad users with a brick. It is extremely disappointing.

Be sure to leave feedback for Apple every single day until they fix the problem. Good luck all.

If no one posts OR CONTINUES TO POST regular feedback to Apple, Apple will have NO clue that there are any types of issues with their hardware or software products!

Also, I suggest contacting/reaching out to Apple Product support and services.

If you need to, if initial 1st tier Apple customer support is of no help to you, you can calmly ask to have this issue escalated up to more responsible, senior level Apple customer support employees to see if they can come up with a more amiable/amenable solution to this iPad battery drain issue, but I make no guarantees, whatsoever.

If need be, you can have your Apple iPad issues escalated all the way up to Apple engineering level customer support

Even if no acceptable resolution, Apple, AT LEAST, logs all support calls and issues.

Best of Luck to You!

Similarly to SanJuett, I have taken numerous steps to help mitigate the battery issue.

• Multiple simple resets
• Multiple hard resets
• Reset Network Settings
• Turned off location services for all apps
• Turned off background access for all apps (I don’t understand why I would need to make this change when I was able to run background apps just fine prior to the update, but made the change none the less.
• Force closed all apps
• Actions taken in safari (closed all open tabs and never have more than a single tab open

Over the years I have come to expect decreased battery life after iOS upgrades, but this isn’t the typical drop by any means. I’m really hoping to avoid a full wipe / reset. I’ve also been told to not even bother with a reset and restore from backup as it seems to carry over any problems one is attempting to remedy.

new owner of an ipad pro 11 here. i'm also experiencing battery drain with safari being the culprit. woke up little more than an hour ago, the device had circa 52% battery left. now, after some light browsing i am down to 43%. i have background updates disabled, as well as location services, but it is clear according to the battery settings:

• from 6 to 7 am: 9min usage, 90% btry
• from 7 to 8 am: 34min usage, 95% btry

in the last couple of minutes, whenever I checked, the battery was down 1% probably.

fun fact: started typing this post with 43% battery, as of now it's 42%. within minutes!

that’s what they always say. Update your device. Been doing that forever. I’m currently on 13.7, no change. I seriously doubt that it’s just a software issue.

I just wanna know at this point if you guys know someone whose battery draining Issue has been solved by replacing the battery or not.

please help if you know.
