iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 13.4 battery drain problem

Charge it more often.

Keith, 13.4.1?

13.4.1 beta 1 just got released to devs, hopefully the public beta comes out.

It could. But it would be an awful coincidence that it was fine before 13.4. In my view something in iOS is running too often/using too much CPU which is causing heat and a drain.

After upgrading to iOS 13.4.1, it diminished the heating and battery drain.

However, after listening to some music at Spotify and using WhatsApp, it suddenly started to heat again.

After 4 days, my battery usage seems to have returned to normal, suggesting an earlier post suggesting there was some post-fixpack file system consolidation has merit.

Try it with your iPhone plugged into the charger.

Yes there is an issue with IOS13.4.1 battery drain

Who put the battery in?

This discussion is about an update from an unknown version of iOS to iOS 13.4.

If you are experiencing different issues than the discussion starter, please start your own discussion so we can keep different issues separated.

I do not appreciate your attitude towards other people on this platform who are trying to help others.

The problem lies not with your device, but with the iOS itself.

That is ABSOLUTE BS. If it is true why don’t my 4 iOS devices have any problem with battery life on iOS 13.4? Why aren’t there tens of thousands of posts about it?

Oh, really? Prove me wrong then! Or, have the huge number of people who have suddenly developed mass-battery-drain all done exactly the same thing, to cause the problems?

I’ve just proved you wrong with 4 devices on iOS 13.4 that have no problems with battery life.

So five phones don't exhibit the problem. Well, that conclusively proves there isn't a problem, right everyone?!

Errr, clearly, no it does nothing of the sort! But way-to-go on trying to pull that little "If I can't see it, it doesn't exist" stunt!

I never said ALL DEVICES. Try reading what I write, not making assumptions about what you think I've written!

There is something in the iOS that is causing many devices to drain the battery much faster than usual. So please come back when you can offer some actual useful support to all of the many threads in these Apple Discussion Forums, that will actually fix the problem.

Mr Finch, with all due deference:

1) "You’ve already been given good advice that works". No, it doesn't work, and that's why I'm rejecting it. If it worked, I wouldn't be here complaining about it further.

2) Do you not think many of us have tried all of these options? Sometimes more than once?

4) Until someone DOES solve this problem, then I'm afraid I will continue to post on here. If all it took, as you say: "a restore to factory settings, followed by restoring a backup", then we'd all be doing that, and all be happy, because - as you say - it ."will always fix it"

Sometimes, the old tech adage of switching something off and on again, or in this case, wiping and restoring an iPhone, DOESN'T actually work.

You need to understand this, and if you don't want too, that's fine, but don't then complain if I keep coming back on here wanting an explanation as to why this issue isn't being solved quicker by Apple.
