iOS 13.2.3 battery drain

Hi all ,

Today has been an interesting day the phone seems to have repaired itself . After leaving it on charge all last night I unplugged it at 08:00 and the still have 71% left on the battery and have just made a 20 min phone call. not sure what is happening but seem to remember this happened a while ago, after being told to get a new battery by apple. whats going on with this software.

I’m suffering battery problems too, I have an SE and my case is a little bit weird because I use the camera, games, play videos and the battery discharges at a normal rate (a little bit more than with IOS 12) but when I read something in the web like for 10 minutes, my battery goes from 85 to 69 in that time 🤷🏻‍♂️, it only happens sometimes tho, not always but it’s weird. My new iPhone Xs will arrive soon, and I think I’ll not going to upgrade until this battery problems are solved.

Unfortunately old devices will have more problems in the future, especially the battery. We have some solutions to this problem.

1.Downgrade your iOS version.

2.Don't update your device.

3.Buy a new iPhone.

4.Reduce battery draining by disabling Siri, graphics effects, background app refresh, data when your are not using your device, update apps, and maybe those methods will help in some manner improve the battery life. Sometimes after an iPhone update, battery is draining because a lot daemon services like rebuilding the index of all of your files for example, can influence a lot.

I hope Apple will help clients that are stuck with old devices and the new iOS can adapt more easily to these. But I far as I know the changes that they will made to system will be more power demanding. Unfortunately I can’t downgrade to iOS 12 last version so you will be stuck with a useless device.

Good luck.

Ever since I updated to the IOS 13.2.3 on my 8+ the battery has been going down like mad, my battery usually lasts me about 10 hours during the day and now being honest I’m finding myself charging it about 4 times a day Beciase of how fast it goes down especially when I’m not even using my device!

For me, it's something to do with location services. After applying 13.2.3, I watched my battery drain 1% every 5 seconds or so as many have said. I have an app called Sweatcoin which gives you stuff for merely letting it monitor steps. It has 2 modes, a normal mode where you lose some steps called battery saver, and a second mode where it does more location services to verify steps. Before 13.2.3, my battery would (just barely) last all day. After 13.2.3, it wouldn't last even 30 minutes. I turned on energy saver within the app which uses location services a lot less, and, voila, battery back to normal. So, it seems in this case at least it's more an app issue (or perhaps it is IOS just affects some apps differently). I'd suggest trying to turn off location services for various apps and see if you can find one that causes the drain.

I just upgraded my iPhone 8 plus yesterday and this is the WORST! My battery was 47% and after using it of less than 30 minutes of watching videos in facebook it was down to 20% with my iPhone on airplane mode and only wifi is on and brightness was 10% ONLY! FIX THIS APPLE! My iPhone 8 plus is just 3 months old!

iPhone X iOS 13.2.3 is very disappointingit killed me battery life, lasts half iOS 13.2 became embarrassing I can no longer use it for work if not bring me with a power bank, I hope they will solve soon

Just up date to the public beta, I thought what can be worst... the battery is better, just start using it but.. I can use my phone, before I could not use it, I plug it out from the charger and my se was dead... now it much better, so you wait to the update from Apple or go for the beta 13.3

I'm having the same issues!

I noticed my battery went from 100% down to 95% with only 15min's of use! This is extremely frustrating and unacceptable!. How can Apple release such flawed and buggy software and think it acceptable, particularly with the premium they charge for their products! If the OS is not ready, don't release it!!

My batteries heats up regularly and the phone is warm to touch, since upgrading to the 13.2 and subsequent updates. i'm constantly restarting/resetting my phone. It killing my battery!!

I use my phone constantly throughout the day for work and rely to my phone battery. Now I will need to have my phone tethered to a power bank to get through a meeting, let alone the day!! Tim Cook are you having to do this, would you think this is acceptable?

Just as another example of how bad this is! I just charged my phone to 100%, unplugged it then looked away for 3-5 mins, the battery is down to 95%! This is Crap!

Wow, your problem is worse than mine. I have an iPhone 7. It seems to have been worse with the battery draining right after I installed the update but still not as good as it was. My phone is getting warmer than normal though and a few games I play and I have to watch ads, the ads won't load (I don't really watch them) so I can't play the game but I am sure it is probably an app problem but maybe caused by these new updates. I don't dare watch any HD videos or the battery will drain quicker I am supposing. I am waiting for the last beta update to come out to everyone. I should have listened and not updated the 13.2.3. The tide seemed to have turned and some sites were saying yesterday morning that this update is better than the last but I found it was worse in terms of the battery problem.

When will apple wake up and address this issue?? My battery on my 6S was fine until I upgraded to iOS 13 and now after a total recharge overnight it lasts about 4 hours.The latest update to iOS 13.2.3 did nothing to help as far as I can see. My battery is just one year old and was showing health as 94% before upgrade now it's showing 92% after the upgrade. Who is kidding who?? new battery, new phone....baloney

i have iPhone XS Max, i go to work 8 o’clock morning for my work 100% battery, by the time 11 o’clock my battery is on 30%.

Worst update.

i regret doing update.

this is so much worst.

and Apple is not doing anything to fix this or they didn’t acknowledge this.

planning to get a Samsung phone now🤔

I'm having same issue with my X. As soon as I updated to ios 13.2.3 my battery started draining extremely quick. I was hoping it would work itself out after the first couple days as it sometimes does when it's indexing. It will drain itself when I'm not even using it. Before this update I could run a 10 hour day on a full charge & still come home with 30%, now within two hours I'm down to 40%. This is really getting old, Apple needs to get it together. Was gonna upgrade to the 11pro but, I;m losing more & more faith in their competence as superior developers.

Is there an official apple site that we can express our concerns?

Same for me! On my iPhone 11 1 month old after update to 13.2.3 battery draining much more quicker than on 13.2.1 or 13.2.2. On 13.2.2 it was very good! Could have two days without charging! On 13.2.3 need to charge every day :(

I was ok until yesterday night (Iphone XS MAX) I left my phone with 50% battery and when to sleep. After 8 hours the phone has shutdown (not battery) and of course the alarm did not go off (apple watch did nothing!!!!). In the battery app in setting it shows only a rapid depletion without any app in use!!!! Very strange, it seems tha IOS 13.2.3 is doing something in the background which is not reported. Privacy Apple? Real?
