iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 13.4 battery drain problem

In my iPhone 11 Pro after iOS updated from 13.3.1 to 13.4, battery back up is really really really poor in my iPhone 11 Pro. It will reduce very fastly and iPhone comes to heat very quickly also. Better keep same as before.

Regarding posts being deleted : In my experience posts critical of Apple are deleted

Posts that violate the terms of use are deleted. Sometimes, those are posts that are critical of Apple and sometimes, they are not.

I've said plenty of things that are critical of Apple in these forums. I regularly state that they are known for giving customers what they believe the customers should have, not what the customers ask for. And, they are frequently not, in my opinion sufficiently transparent. You'll note, however, that I can say those things and not have the post get deleted because 1) I'm polite, 2) I'm expressing an opinion, not speculating about Apple policies.

I don't have exact numbers but, I suspect most of the posts that get removed are the ones of a weird selfie with a caption that says something like "How never sosowbwheh". After that, I would guess that the ones that make personal attacks on other users are the problems.

Lots of people in this thread have said negative things about Apple. In fact, you just did. But, because you didn't attack fellow users, your post is still here.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I certainly have never criticized another user or posted a selfie. It was a post critical of Apple that was deleted. The reason given was that it wasn't useful information and that may well have been true.

Anyone who has been here for very long has had posts removed. I certainly have. Some times I understand, agree and look at it as a learning opportunity. Sometimes, I don't agree and get a little angry. Then, I take a breath and remember that I agreed (we all did) to the terms of use when I signed up. No one forced me to agree with them. And, the last line (yes, I read the whole thing) says this:

Apple reserves the right to delete any Submission, or take action against any account, at any time, for any reason.

Either way, in the grand scheme of things, and, especially now, it's not worth spending too much time fretting about.

Just to piggy back on this post, drive 5 mins to work looked at 2 text messages..shut all apps down left phone on counter for 2 hours and battery is down 20%

* have done all recommended fixes.

** be back tomorrow to repost that it’s still not working correctly

Since the update on my phone my brand new battery doesn’t even last a day when before the update I could get 2 days of use before it went to 20 percent I have tried turning off the auto refresh and still terrible battery drain

Apple doesn't read comments, but if you report about the problem and there will be enough people to complain, there is a chance for a new update. Don't forget that because of the pandemic apple has less people at work.

I’d like to make it clear that the issue is on my iPhone 7. I’ve watched lot of YouTube videos where they are telling people who are on iPhone 7 to not update because of this issue.

There are lots of videos where people describe being abducted by aliens or curing COVID-19 with random vitamins. That doesn't mean they are true. iOS 13 works very well on an iPhone 7.

I have a issue with my Iphone 8. Battery is draining all of the sudden and then the phone shuts down. It works fine when charging. I have updated the phone to ios 13.4 unfortunately it didn’t change anything. Any ideas?

13.4.1 does not fix the problem. I’m going to give it the one week grace period for the indexing BS but have zero hopes. I spent almost 2 grand on my IPad Pro + Apple Pencil 2 and since I updated to iPadOS 13 the battery drains on standby with the screen off in less than two days, pathetic! My old iPad 2 still lasts more than a month on standby. I’ve tried everything like most of us on this thread and I get all exited every time there is an update coming up and then immediately disappointed after downloading it. It’s funny all my other devices are updated including my iPhone 11Pro Max and have no problems. Just my 12.9in IPad Pro which seems to drain excessively, but oddly...only on standby. While using it I believe the battery runs as it should. I haven’t been able to test it completely but It gives me the impression that it would last the 10hrs that it claims. The problem is and has always been the awful standby drain ever since the ipados13 update. I purchased it on os12 and it used to work perfectly and as expected, the update to 13 was the only variable. In these covid times where we depend so much on our technology this is more than frustrating!

Brilliant! 13.4 saw FaceTime fail to communicate with older devices.

13.4.1 fixed FaceTime but is destroying my battery. Just by looking at the graph I can see the power drain before my very eyes.

Apple support said to disable my email! Well, I haven’t changed any settings in years so why does it go wrong now?

I can’t be the only one with this problem now...

I’ll never buy Apple again, it’s a complete shambles.

Interesting thought about Mail. When I called Apple they told me to switch off mail for 24 hours! I thought - yeah, but I need Mail. Anyway, all my mail accounts are now turned off.

I started charging my battery this morning, all seemed well. I had to make a phone call, after that, yes, you guessed it - it’s gone crazy again.

the old saying “let sleeping dogs lie” has never been more true. Take your iPhone, turn it off and just keep it in a drawer for ever - it’s more useful there!

Samsung here I come...

I did all five fixes include full reload and problem did not go away

After updating from 13.4 to 13.41 it was exactly the same

My phone used to last all day but now it drains in about 4 hours

Is Apple going to fix this?

I have a 2 year upgrade coming and am thinking this is a reason to switch to Android as I cannot do business with my phone dying every 4 hours

it’s ******* crazy Apple doesn’t react !

Telling us only ******* solutions not working and making us losing time !

Come on Apple !

Steve Jobs is turning himself in his sepulture !

Your behaviour is not relevant to such a firm !

Please make Apple great again !

Same Here, i have replaced a Tab S which I had for around 6 years with an Ipad. I was amazed at how good it performed and how long the battery was lasting. Guess what ? 7 months later after upgrading to IOS 13.x.x I started having battery issues. Now the battery last about as long as my old Tab s which has years of daily usage. And honestly this is just a tablet; Who has the time to reinstall uninstall, reset, restore from backups monitor the battery, monitor the applications etc. I spend my carrer working with complex It infrastructures as a living and honestly when I am not working I really don’t feel like troubleshooting what is in fact a botched update to start with. Hopefully IOS 14 will fix this. Don’t bother answering I’m just ventilating my frustration. Oops gotta go my battery is dying on me , again ;)
