iOS 13.4.1 battery drain

I have seen no improvement in the battery drain since this 13.4.1 . It's dreadful i have to charge my phone at least twice a day since this download and I used to do it every other day before this. Also the phone gets really hot when I use some apps and facetime. Apple dont seem to be interested in acknowledging there is an issue or improving this and I am serously considering changing to Android when my contract expires. I dont feel I can rely on my Apple iphone X anymore.

I did not know that here is no Apple technical team involved. My bad. In this case the more people complain to Apple directly, the quicker they will solve this error.

Yeah, I charge my iPhone XS Max when I sleep (overnight). Now I am charging the thing 2-3 times EVERY DAY throughout the day AND overnight.

Same exact issue on iPad Pro 10.5.

Battery performance degraded by a roughly 50%, specifically when browsing

I sent a feedback to Apple

XS Max here with the problem on 13.4.1. It’s across the line if iOS devices. Have also seen iPhone 11 owners complaining.

Switching to our 2.4 GHz actually helps, but still not holding. I can sit there and watch my battery percentage drop 1% to every minute while writing this reply and reading all the comments. Sigh....

Battery replacement is the cheapest repair/fix service Apple offers for any iOS device.

Battery replacement is cheaper for iPhones/iPod Touches than it is for iPads.

Despite your clearly articulated academic achievements, you are evidently of the belief that here you are addressing Apple - assuming that contributors herein are able to change the coding of the system or Apps. Whilst being credited with such influence is indeed gratifying, it might be constructive to provide some enlightenment In this regard.

Everyone here is an end-user customer, just like you. Apple does not participate within these technical forums. Contributors here attempt to share the benefit of their knowledge and expertise with others that seek assistance with product issues...

As such, in context of your final comment, there is nothing that we can do to “admit error” or “fix” anything. The best that any of us can do, noting that many contributors here are very knowledgable (and in some cases, exceedingly well qualified) is to provide guidance in trying to resolve or work-around your explicit problem.

I have a MacBook so that takes a lot of workload off of my iPad Pro 12.9

Generally i plug my MacBook in when working so that I can not worry about the number of hours I end up putting in.

Mostly I use my iPad as a digital book. That is one of the big reasons I bought it.

Yes, i have been facing similar problem in iOS 13.4 in iPhone xS. I have found many threads for such issue. Not sure, what the solution is.

However, in my device, the earpiece is overheating extremely badly. Apple would need to issue new iOS soon to rectify

This has happened immediately after iOS 13.4 update and hence worried.

How to identify which App is causing much pressure on CPU (I could not find anything in >Settings>Battery>Battery Health; since I have removed SIM card since 1 day out of phone). Eve after removal of SIM and starting phone after 1 day, It becomes HOT and Battery drips at much faster pace.

Under Settings>Battery>Battery Health : I could not find any apps consuming battery since I have removed SIM card since 1 day to test / identify the root cause. Hope it get's resolved faster. It is impacting the work from home situation considering COVID19 scenario.

I continue to have rapid battery drain since updating to 13.4.1 last week (iPhone X). I’ve tried every recommendation in this thread to counter the issue with no success.

Prior to the update this device held a charge for 48 hours without discharging completely. The battery drain issue was instant after updating.

I have exactly the same in my iphone 6s plus. After update my IOS to latest one my battery littery started dying between 0,5 and 1 day. In one hour I lost 30% of my battery and I only talked for 51minutes and browser news dfor 10 minutes.

What is going on?

Hello Michael,

I have an iPhone 8 Plus with this iOS and since my update I noticed huge amount of battery drain in a single day. Just today I took of the phone from charger around 8 and by 10:30 i have 85% left. Before the iOS update i finished my day with 20-30% leftover, now i am happy if I can reach bed with 1% :D

In Settings->Battery->Battery Health i have 85% and I have optimised Battery Charging on. In Battery my highest usage is on Safari and even if I am not using it, somehow it counts up and takes battery out... (however I do not know if this is really caused by Safari alone or something else).

I have at Settings->Siri Listen for hey siri on and also Press Home for Siri on.

Hard reset, soft reset, all kind of reset etc... does not solved my issue so far.

After reading your comment, is it now true that Siri is problematic with this new update? Shall i try to switch off Listen for hey Siri, or even Press Home for Siri (so turn Siri completely off) and give a try without Siri? If so I will also report this to Apple for sure, because before this 13.4.1 I did not have any issue with my Battery.

Many thanks for your advise!
