iOS 13.4.1 battery drain

Are you saying that 13.5 fixed your issue? I have no change since updating.

I'm out of luck if this is a hardware issue. My warranty expired last month. I can't even get a replacement battery. They'll charge me for that !

Congratulations, Apple! At this rate, in a couple of years the problem will be totally solved!

In my iphoneX and iPad 7th Generation...

XS max here. 13.5 didn’t fix anything for me

I'm out of luck if this is a hardware issue. My warranty expired last month. I can't even get a replacement battery. They'll charge me for that !

I am also facing the same issue. I am just browsing and yet I am facing the same issue. When I am browsing Best Dog Bed , it's draining about 2% per minute. Kindly answer this.

My SIM was new when I got the XS Max 10 months ago. VoLTE is set to OFF though because that doesn’t work well usually.

Nvm. Nothing to do with LTE or VoLTE.

Problem persists in 13.5.1.

ridiculous.

the battery drain slows down, but it's still big. I use iPad Air 2

Holy Cow! No joke...I completely wasted 3 hours of my life last night by deleting my iPhone and reloading from backup, all for nothing. It turns out you were right. I turned off Siri and the phone has only used 5% battery in the past 6 hours. That is how it should be. I don’t use Siri and have no plans to in the future. Thanks for that awesome advice as it worked for me. I also turned it off on my iPad. Cheers, to you.

Nobody participating within the Apple Support Communities represent Apple; we’re all end-user customers just like you. Some of the more experienced (and sometimes less experienced) contributors volunteer their time and the benefit of their knowledge to help other with problems.

As Apple do not participate, no, you’ll not get any kind of official statement from them within the confines of the Apple Support Communities.

That said, whilst contributors here can often find or suggest possible solutions, we’re not miracle workers. As for having to “try things out”, yes, sometimes that is exactly what the end-user must do. Whilst many may complain of similar issues, the cause is sometimes not consistent.

As for software updates, sometimes things break during an update. That’s true of any computer system. You might be unlucky whilst others see no issues.

Sorry, but that’s a fundamental truth of computing.

Hi,

Inspired by your comment, I decided to give the full reset alternative a try and it did help! I made sure also to not use the recovery option (except that I backed up my whatsapp conversations and when I logged into iCloud my photos and contacts came back) and my battery is working normal, no draining.

I only have installed Whatsapp and before the reset, I transferred all my contacts from Google to iCloud so I don’t need to have my Google account on this phone. I’ll eventually gonna end up installing Gmail because is my main email but for the moment I’m still troubleshooting.

Siri is off, Bluetooth is off, FaceTime off, location services too, but I’m leaning to the idea that was some app causing the problem, I cannot say. I’m gonna be testing by adding apps and seeing what happen. By the moment I got the most boring phone but at least I can count on it will not shutdown when I will need it. Anyway, thanks for the enlightening, I feel more relieved now. Best regards

Jorge

Have now switched off Bluetooth. Success! My battery dropped only 10% overnight. This seems to confirm that the problem may be caused by modifications of the iOS to assist Covid-19 contact tracing, which relies on Bluetooth. Unfortunately, now Find my Phone doesn't work anymore.

DFU Restore on XS Max has not resolved the problem. I wanted to downgrade to 13.4 but that firmware is not being signed by Apple anymore so it's not possible. The only signed firmware is 13.4.1.

I have tried every possible trick and a full DFU Restore is the farthest that I can go. 🤷‍♂️
