I have updated my iPad mini 2019 two days ago and battery is practically worst ever. By browsing only drops 1% per minute. Anyone experiencing same problem?

After putting in a few hours of research trying to figure out this issue someone recommended checking battery usage of apps and sure enough Siri was running 100%..!..It was suggested to completely turn off Siri on the device and also on iCloud, which I did and it completely fixed the issue immediately.


I was even having Issues with it charging quickly and those issues are also gone.


I believe that the update definitely effected how Siri runs in the background and I suggest you try the same to see if it works for you.

DFU stands for Device Firmware Upgrade and it's a deep recovery/restore mode for iOS devices. You can look it up but it's basically the deepest way to wipe both the firmware and software installed on an iOS device and then iTunes will install a clean copy of both the firmware and software.


It's usually one's last hope for fixing a software problem and most iOS devices can be restored this way even if something is massively wrong with the software or firmware.
