11% Battery Drain / 5 minutes

Unit: iPhone 6s, 64Gb

iOS: 13.4

Background App Refresh - Disabled

Location Service - Disabled

3D Touch - Disabled

Reduce Motion - On

Reduce Transparency - On

Closing all Apps after use.

I know my unit is old and the best suggestion is to buy a new one.

My concern is, it's just so sad 😞 that reality is becoming more about business rather than User-Product Quality Satisfaction. The least I can do to meet my phone usage is to adjust things (like mentioned above). My question is, is there a way, possibility, or chance you can upgrade thru updates without reducing battery life span very fast.

I know there should be a product turn-over in business where product life span has limitations. I just hope there should be lesser sacrifice in our part as patrons in order to use your product efficiently.

Cheers!

What is the Battery Health of your iPhone? Open Settings ➔ Battery ➔ Battery Health and let us know which percentage you see for Maximum Capacity. Also note what is written under Peak Performance. If your battery's Maximum Capacity shows a value of 80% or less than it has gone through its lifecycle and therefore should be replaced, according to Apple.

No Apple employees in this forum, only users of Apple products. Take your iPhone to Authorized Apple Service Provider, if can find any open, to have it checked out. The battery itself probraly failing, you never know.

What I would like to say is that, on Tuesday, April 21, I'm still running os 12 and have the battery health at 80% then I updated to os 13 just yesterday, April 22, and got the 75% battery health. I just felt it depleted quite fast.

Will try the replacement after lockdown.

Thank you.
