iPhone SE 2020 battery drain

I was in parallel with your experience pretty much. I’ve just posted back to a similar issue elsewhere.

my SE is relatively stable now, battery wise. I switch off at night and I’m down to one charge a day. I could imagine for a heavy user this would not be the case though. With Apple’s input at the beginning and my understanding of the battery issue I’ve been able to regulate battery drain. I really like my SE and plan on staying with Apple in future. It’s been a bumpy and unfortunate introduction to iOS but patience has paid off. Cheers drew.

I figured the ‘do not disturb’ function is similar to switching off over night, so I did. I wish there was an automatic off/on setting for those who want to. To me it makes more sense, unless of course, switching off disproportionately affects the phone as opposed to leaving it on? The story continues...

Having this problem too on my new (not even 2 months old) iPhone SE 2020. I have disabled as much as I can (which doesn't seem right to have to turn off everything including email push notifications when these are the things we use our phones for and other phones can handle it fine) and overnight it went from 100% to 92% without me using it, and in 3 hours it has gone from 92% to 53% while making calls (to Apple and my service provider trying to sort this out). The other day while on the phone with Apple support and when they connected to my phone remotely they could see the power dropping. I made the switch from Android to Apple in hopes to get rid of the unreliability I was having with Android products and having to replace them every 2 years. Now here I am 2 months in and my iPhone isn't functioning how it should. Super frustrated. I bought Apple Care just because I'm already having issues. I really hope they fix this issue soon.

That sounds good, I tried the refresh but it didn’t make a difference. Half my battery is gone already today and I’ve barely looked at it. Have everything turned of, fetch is off, low mode on, brightness off, apps closed, no background refresh on. I’ve been told there is no issue as per the diagnostics so there is nothing they can do.

There might be something to the story of IOS 13.5.1 and the Music app. I haven’t observed this on my battery consumption list but I strangely cannot stop it when I’m in my car.

My brand new iPhone se battery life is bad too. It’s worst on games. I recharge it 2-3 times a day. Plus when it gets to 80 it charges very slow. I do play on it ALOT. I’m talking ALOT! But still it’s a brand new phone. I love it but I wish it had longer battery life. As I am typing this I have 9 percent battery

One week old iPhone SE-2020 after a full charge- doing nothing, the battery is drained overnight to ~80%.

With 2-4 phone calls of less than 5 minutes, and 3-4 Messages, by the next night, it's down to ~40%.

I do use the 'dual SIM' feature. Recently, under 'Battery Usage by App', its showing 'No mobile coverage' with 58% activity.

Any suggestions?

I have noted an extreme battery drain. Background refresh

off. Auto update off. I have lost in a 2-hour period of time over 85% of battery

with no use of phone. Today I woke up. Unplugged phone. Did not use at all. In

one hour, period of time lost 10%. This happens sporadically. States most

battery use was for Messages however in that 1 hour where battery life dropped

10% no messages, nor did I check Messages.

I have same issue. I left my house from work at 7:30 in morning, charge was 100% and at noon it was 15%. I haven’t used my phone entire time and heating up like crazy. Today is the 1st time I had this issue.

After 10 days my SE 2020 just came back from service (repairing ID: G397502706). Unfortunately nothing was solved. Apple was so lazy that they even didn't dismount the phone, they just update the software. The problem is still there: after 32 charging cycles (2 months usage) the battery stays in 86%. After I discussed with them by phone, they say there are some standard tests they did, if the phone passed these then everything it's "ok" (!?) and I should not complain because anyway the battery it's considered "consumable". Very disappointed, I don't know what else to do and to whom to complain, I never thought that Apple products and their services can became so bad, especially for this brand considered to be a high quality one.

I am talking about watching Netflix for about 15-20 min max. In that time i almost lose 20% battery percentage. We live in 2020, when i cant even watch a normal 1080p short video without too much battery percentage. I wouldn't call watching a video a 'powerful process' (ex gaming is). If i would watch Netflix in 4k i would understand that that process would take a lot of battery.

I can’t believe it. I need your opinions. I bought this iPhone SE 2020 in 21 July 2020. It was alright at first. But now till date battery is always percentage decreasing by 1% when I am on Instagram and Facebook videos and gets warm at the back. Takes Long like 1 hr to charge from 68% to 99%.

therefore I am trying to seek you guys opinions over this?

is there something wrong with the phone or what?

I am also getting terrible battery drain on a 5 day old SE 2020, I've first read a lot of guides to somehow lessen the battery consumption. e.g disable background updates, location services, raise to wake etc. and still getting terrible drain. should I get this replaced? This is my third iphone since the original se, and this is a terrible experience. my old se is doing way better job at holding the battery than this.

I'm having exactly the same issue.

Fully charge overnight and by 6pm or so the battery is at 40% with very light usage. By comparison, my Samsung S10e drops to 78% with very light usage by 6pm.

So weird.
