iOS 13.6 overheating and battery drain issues

Hi I’m in France & I experiencing the same problems of overheating and high battery consumption on my 11 Pro Max...

I suspect Apple to « boost » frequencies of the CPU core in order to stay in a good place in CPU benchmarks like Geekbench or Antutu, between its new Androïd rivals like Samsung S20 Ultra....

I definitely regret this update : I was near the swimming pool, under a tree, and my screen began to drop in intensity, because the phone was very hot🥵! It has never happened some days ago with iOS 13.5 in hot days. Not happy !😡

Same thing going on here but instead, I’m on a iPhone 8 and my battery would charge slow, and when it reached around the 90 mark it would stop at a percentage and not go up and lag when I take it out of charge

Also when I’m charging my iPhone 11 Pro Max with the cable provided together in the box it may freeze or becomes hella laggy sometimes. This is hella weird and am wondering what’s going on with Apple’s developers these years... every single update seems to be glitchy and problematic.

I have two iPhone 6s and one iphone 7. all are having extremely heating issues while charging the phone or just simply watching videos on the youtube. before updating 13.5, there was never such issues. I am experiencing this for the first time since last four years. It gets unbelievably hot that I can't even hold the phone on my hand. I have even changed the batteries, but it did not bring anything. they have again started the dirty games to slow down our phones.

I also have iphone SE 2 and I have got my phone last week and the battery health is at 100% and the battery life is horrible after updating to IOS 13.6. Yesterday When i slept the phone was at 100% but today the phone came down to 92%. 8% idle battery drain for a brand new phone is not acceptable. Apple should take care of the battery life. I am very disappointed by Apple and apple should fix this in the next update.

No on my iPhone 11 the battery is worse but the phone won’t heat that much .On my iPhone SE 2 i use the iTunes to reset as a new phone and then didn’t back up from iCloud instead I made a new account and installed my apps and the I had 0 issues and after the iOS 13.6.1 my battery improved on my iPhone SE 2 .

I have iphone SE 2 and my phone is giving a screen time of 4 hours which is very annoying and ridiculous. Today I updated my to IOS 13.6.1 and its of no use. I thought that apple might fix battery issues but apple did nothing about battery and kept us waiting for IOS 14. Lets see if apple fixes battery issues.

Just updated to 13.6.1. Now it’s even worse if you can believe it. The battery drain is outrageous. Really pointless in even having a better anymore since it always needs to be plugged in.

just lost 10% in the last two minutes.

thanks apple.

Just got off chat with apple. They told me to get it repaired. Wow what a shocker. Perfect battery prior to iOS 13; dead battery afterwards. But it’s MY battery that’s the problem.

apple simply won’t take responsibility for this problem that is widespread.

Phones are never idle unless powered off. You lost 8% overnight while it was polling for mails and social media and indexing photos and whatever? That's pretty good.

TIP. Leave it on charge overnight - that is what they were designed for.

Probably they ain’t gonn fix it till iOS 14 comes and that’s their tactics maybe cause all the last versions of every iOS contains weird bugs that they won’t fix. There’s very unlucky of you to experience that tho cause that’s a 2020 phone. Luckily mine has a large battery so I still only have to charge once a day even with this issue. But it’s a lil frustrating cause the photo app and the keyboard for my another language both have bugs after the iOS 13.5.1 update and they ain’t fixed till now... smh

I had the same problem with 13.6 on my iPhone 11 Pro Max.

I then had a chat with apple on this I have not realised that they have released a new version of 13.6.1 they told me to update once I did that my phone started to work as normal again.

Gentlemen, I have the same problem, Iphone XS patient, the battery drops within 3 minutes of use, 1% battery drops. The phone heats up sometimes, I tried everything interesting with the internet and wifi turned off while listening to songs on spotify, the battery works fine. I am currently updating the phone to version 14 IOS beta 4, we will see if it helps. Authorized service said that the phone is ok.

Fine, if it helps you but please do not post beta test results in public forums.

Use your Feedback assistant.

See the terms you agree to.

You are also advised not to install beta software in your main device.

So to clarify, 13.6.1 improved the overheating but did not improve battery usage,

My recommendation still stands. Rebuild your portfolio. If apps and cloud traffic use too much battery in iOS13 they probably will do in iOS14 or 15 too.
