iOS 13.5.1 battery drain

Yes, what kind stupid update is these, u fixed an issue & created another bigger issue. For ppl like us always on the move, having enough & sufficient power is an important part. The drain of battery issue caused me to keep charging my HP for almost every 6 hour & I had to keep carried a powerbank to standby. Please fix it

I can’t even see what apps are draining my battery. The battery statistics have not been updated for 5 hours, and the info there is completely wrong. I just got off a FaceTime call and FaceTime isn’t even listed as using up battery. This is the WORST apple update I have ever experienced.

Maybe, I better let it down to create a new topic, because there's no point.

Past night, I didn't connect my iPhone to a charger. Went from 60% till 56% (11PM till 8AM), so still the normal behavior.

(forced closed all apps before I went to bed yesterday)

This morning opened my phone and saw a more heavy battery drain. Although I didn't used any app since last night, a random background activity has started again. Apps who never did it before.

pfff, charging this phone everyday and waiting on 13.6.

It will be available by the end of june, beginning of july. Today they speak about the end of July, beginning of august.

I'm beginning to be dispirited in this matter.

What standpoint does Apple take on all the unnecessary charge cycles and battery "wear" that this update is forcing users to go through? I wonder because now my iPhone X battery wear has decreased FIVE percent in the last two weeks alone after this update through no abnormal charging activity on my part, rather, I am forced to due to the update draining the battery so quickly.

Good feedback.

Just putting it out there if Camera has Live Photos on (default?) and open, then it is continually taking video waiting for you to hit the take button. That has the potential to use battery surely, especially in situations where background activity seems to have carte blanche.

What genius invented a camera that takes photos just before you press the button?? Who needed it?

Used to do all my updates and backups with my mac (like you recommend), now with this new update, in addition to the fast battery drain, I am dealing with what is now an unsyncable iphone that is working erratically, doing a strange white horizontal line during a soft reset and generally proving itself unreliable! Also, being old school, background refresh was off, don't use icloud, Siri off and privacy settings off except for a map program and Findmyphone, so what is using all the juice?

So, are you saying that the fix is to "force close" these rogue apps? Is that done through the "App Switcher" which is accessed by running your finger upward from the bottom of the screen?

Has that worked for you?

My case is specially extrange... I updated to 13.5.1 and had no issues... several days with all perfect and OK, as usual. But just yesterday, it started to get extremely hot an drain battery. And to have extremely slow response to volume buttons (I press up or down and it can show the volume bar after 5 seconds... 10 seconds... or 1 minute after, when you even remember that you pressed it). And other extranges behaviours... Switch off wifi and wifi icon still on... cycle between "blocked SIM - No service - Pepephone (my operator)". 4G to 3G... horrible and with no cause at all.

Well, some days ago, for first time in my live, I turned on automatic update of apps. Perhaps one app than manually I don't use to update (because of "dozens" of apps asking for update and I use to manually update the more used ones) have caused all this... I don't know... I will try to restore but as I read here, this won't fix it :-(

We'll have to wait for a new update...

I am facing the same issue in my iPhone 7 since I have updated to 13.5.1. Battery goes from 100 % to 50 % to 60 % when switched off at night after charging fully.

I am in touch with Apple support. Complete diagnostics have been taken.

I have told of a solution in two days time.

Terrible battery life after 13.5 on iPhone XR. Phone bottom overheats, doing a Viber video call makes it uncomfortable to touch, playing a YouTube video makes the battery die in 3hrs.

things get a bit better if I use battery saver but still the battery is nowhere where it used to.

I charge al day long else I have no phone !!

this has been going for months

Good to hear that! One question. Did you notice all this time that when you were using your device it was also getting hot? Mine, is getting hot on the bottom side and then the heat expands to all the body. I need to suspend using it to cool it down again.

I am sure you will be on 13.6 beta 3, if all things are going fine on beta side then Apple would be releasing 13.6 this week to the public for Final Release so let see how it all goes, cannot wait for iOS 14 public beta to be release too.

My iPhone 7 battery goes from 100 percent charged to 55 percent or 60 percent in the morning even when I switch off the phone at night after charging fully.

Factory restore, managing notifications, putting off background refresh and also managing location services did not help at all.

And iPhone 7 is only 8 months old. Battery has a maximum performance capacity of 100 percent.

Still the battery discharges by almost 50 percent while switched off overnight. During day time also phone remains warm and drains battery in similar manner.

I have the same issue and when I looked in the battery area it said MS Teams and Apple Music were running in the background for hours. This makes no sense as neither were open and background app refresh is off.

also the phone keeps getting really hot

please fix this asap Apple as its limiting my productivity

I have already left a message about this another thread but same issues here with an iphone 7 and an iphone 6s. The 6s is overheating so much it is non functional and you see numbers drop on the battery. No clue how to fix it but really wish for a fix soon.
