iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 13.4 battery drain problem

No matter what kind of battery life you are getting I would plan on getting the battery replaced as soon as you can. A lithium polymer battery with. that low of health can begin to swell causing damage to your phone.

After a relatively short period of use, especially phone calls the exterior of my SE is over 40 degrees C so just imagine what the internal temp is.

The way I see it this iOS is probably seriously affecting the health of my phone in general & not only the battery health which has dropped another 2% in the last couple of days to 87%.

It is clear that Apple do not review these discussions. I would suggest that everyone with the battery draining problem contacts their support, they’ll call you so it won’t cost anything except more of your time.

Hopefully the increased number of support queries will prompt them into finally taking this problem seriously.

Unfortunately having worked for an IT company who sold Macs, looking after over 500 of them at one point & having dealings with Apple I can tell you that Apple make Microsoft look like the best company that there ever was.

You don't get to be the richest company in the world by admitting you have a major issue with your operating systems & devices.

I tackled a few of their tech guys on roadshows not long after OS X came out about various things that caused Macs to Kernel Panic & had many many threads like this one but every answer was the same.

OS X is great, really really stable & fast & we are doing all the things you say are causing problems but without the kernel panics so you must be doing something wrong.

If I was then I was doing it wrong on over 100 client's macs by just getting it out of the box & running updates, setting up mail etc.

Well the issue remains and we are stuck with a useless iphone After telling about my issue with the battery drain the moderators were saying rude things cutting acting as if they were the exalted ones and I was I lower and then blocked for saying I had tried everything and nothing worked. It seems relentless getting an ios upgrade fix for this issue https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-7614097/New-Apple-iOS-13-KILLING-batteries-iPhone-owners-battery-life-drains-quickly.html

I read several times that the OS maybe needs to reindex its file system, or something similar. That’s improbable ; such a behavior could occur with a major version update (12.x to 13), but not with a minor version update (13.3 to 13,4), and even less with a revision change (13.4 to 13.4.1).

In the current period where contact tracing will become a major way to help fighting the pandemic, if yo have to put your phone aside one or two weeks every month for an hypothetical reindexing, or worse, if your phone juste become useless, the pandemic will last for a very long time.

I recently have had problems with my iphone 6s shutting down due to low power even though it was fully charged and had the battery replaced a few months ago by apple authorized service. I talked to tech support who could only offer that I back up and try a restore. I did this with no improvement. I decided to to order a new SE which should arrive next week.

meanwhile a went to visit a freind and found out that his wifes 6s experienced the exact same problem. This is no coincidence appartently IOS 13.4 has some serious issues. Given what I know now I'm not sure I want a new iphone maybe android would be better.

Before you buy a Pixel, Samsung, Huawei and everything on your list realize that they use the same type of battery as the Apple and be sure to go to their forums and see if anyone is complaining about battery life. Or the battery blowing up.

Battery isn’t the problem as all these people complaining had a perfectly working phone and battery before these updates. I know that you are a top level 10 or whatever but if it looks like a fish, smell like a fish and swim like a fish... it might just be a fish. And honestly i think we are now the fish.

The problem with your argument is not all people are having problems with battery life so there is no line of code that Apple inserted that is causing everyone to have bad battery life so there can't be a global fix. You are describing different devices that are having the problem (well not the Appel TV, it has no battery) but probably what they have in common is certain applications, services, etc. If you have already done what you can to track that down then contact Apple so they can try to figure out what is going on and add the solution in iOS 13.4.5.

they sure did

Apple will pay up to half a billion dollars to settle a class action lawsuit accusing it of slowing down older iPhone models to compel users to buy new ones. 

The proposed settlement agreement requires Apple (AAPL) to pay the owners of certain iPhone models $25 per affected device, totaling a minimum of $310 million and a maximum of $500 million, according to documents released on Friday in US District Court in San Jose, California. The amount each user receives could increase or decrease depending on how many claims are filed as well as any additional legal fees and expenses approved by the court, the document added. 

The settlement agreement, which is subject to approval by a judge on April 3, caps a legal battle that's gone on for more than two years during which Apple tried to ease a global backlash.

apple must lobe people like yourself. I am sure thatyou find it acceptable to pay 800-1000$ plus for a phone that will be render useless in a couple of years

btw lots a people refered to SE as a 5se

The "iPhone 5se" was the name rumored for Apple's 4-inch iPhone before it launched on March 21, 2016 as the "iPhone SE." The iPhone SE combines the body of the iPhone 5s with many of the internals of the iPhone 6s, such as the A9 processor and 12-megapixel camera, resulting in a powerful but compact device.

but hey you are the level 10 expert. I loved apple design but I now hate their support or lack of. If you don’t mind spending your free time monitoring uninstalling and reinstalling software for a « phone » well good for you. This is why you are now a top level 10 specialist;)

10

You clearly have not kept up, the lawsuit said nothing about slowing them down to sell new phones and Apple has admitted to no such thing.

But if you really believe that you should go with a different company.

All I know is that since the day I updated my iPad mini 4 to iOS 13, it drains the battery in less than 5 hours. It was immediately noticed. Every update since I hope it will get back to what it was. It never dropped 10-15% overnight prior to 13. Right now I’m sitting at 31% in 3 hours and 20 minutes of use since last full charge. It’s not all watching Netflix and YouTube either. Safari and a couple news apps should not kill my battery. My usage habits did not change the day I updated to 13.

I have done all the things that “fix” the problem including restore. There are too many complaints for there not to be a problem. Not everybody comes here to comment, doesn’t mean they didn’t have a problem.

my phone does not have a problem. That does not mean ios13 doesn’t have problems.

they just deleted my post because i said that their support was useless. I meant to say that they got it under control, they are doing a tremendous job, they are fixing this issue like something we have never seen before and their solutions to install, reinstall, backup, restore etc... is awesome... and as for their top level 10 forum specialist... all their solutions were awesome, great, beyond any solutions i have seen before. This is no sarcasm. I mean i don’t know why i posted my other post ;)

This is a user-to-user forum. No one who has posted in this thread works for Apple. The only way to rise through the levels is by providing answers and assistance that other users think is helpful and so award points.
