iOS 13.6 overheating and battery drain issues

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 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 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.

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

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

Then what would you say about me, I have iphone SE which I bought around 10 days ago and trust me the battery life is horrible after IOS 13.6 update. When I bought the phone the phone was on IOS 13.5 and it seemed excellent but after updating to IOS 13.6 the battery life as well as heating issue arised which I never had on any of my previous iphones. After updating to IOS 13.6.1 the heating issue seems to be fixed and the battery life remained same. Yesterday my phone was at 85% when I slept with wifi and mobile data off and today morning it came down to 75%, WTF? If it happened on android I never would have told but on IOS with this world leading optimisation, It was not acceptable apple. And Mr. Apple Employee, rather explaining us About idle battery drain considering my phone is only 10 days old. Try fixing it in the next update. It seems that whatever the problem is, you will always deny that and make excuse of this and that..... Apple you should definitely fix this goddamn issues in next update.

If Apple Support says there is nothing they can do for you, and if you are unwilling to wait for a fix, all you can do is purchase a different phone, whether that is a different iPhone or an Android.

That's not to belittle your issue, it's just the most pragmatic solution to the problem.

As other Apple users here, we have no idea of what issues are being worked on, or what may be fixed or changed in any upcoming iOS release.

I know this won’t help those who upgraded to 13.6, but for the last 2+ years I do not upgrade without doing significant research on bugs / performance degradations.

I begin with Forbes(.)com, as there is a columnist who has been pretty reliable. Recently I also began monitoring these postings.

Also Google “iOS 13.6 bugs”

Is it inconvenient (and unreasonable) to have to double check before upgrading?

Certainly.

Has it saved me from the issues people are reporting?

Definitely.

I have the iPhone 11 & after the update my battery life isn’t as good ... as well as my brothers brand new xr or xs has been very bad with battery & his phone actually completely crashed and hasn’t turned back on. It’s been days ..

Yes, there are proper and improper ways to charge a phone. iPhone’s Optimised Battery Charging option in Battery Health exists for that reason, but it only helps passively for overnight charging. Users can do that actively by avoiding battery level going too low and too high (>80%) for a long duration. That’s why iPhone’s Optimised Battery Charging will not charge your phone over 80% until the time you‘re going to start using your phone based on your habit which the phone has learned.

I'm still on 13.6 and previously reported major problems (rapid battery drain) with my iPhone SE (the old version) to this discussion topic. But over the last two weeks the phone battery has surprisingly been lasting all day. I have resisted the urge to install 13.6.1 which is now available, in case I get the old problem back again. Maybe I'll see whether other users report issues with it. But I cannot explain why my phone is working pretty much as normal now. Battery health indicator is 89% of original, not bad for a phone which I've had for more than two years and which was an older model even then.

Yes, I has been eager to update my iphone and ipads each time there is a new update released. But I’m experiencing the weird idle battery drain for the first time in my life since ios 13.6. I used to think about other people reporting ios update problems the way u r seeing them now.

Do you use it in bright sunshine? It being summer in northern hemisphere.

Phone will get very hot as screen brightness goes to max and sun rays are absorbed . Natures way of telling you to put it away.

I have the 11 max pro and the same thing is happening. Battery is dead in a few hours. It’s constantly becoming extremely hot. I can’t keep it on the charger for longer than 20 mins without it feeling like it’s on fire ! What is being done about this? How can I fix this? My phone is no more than 6 months old.

That should not be happening as Iphone 11 Pro Max has a very good battery, it can easily last you 2 days of full use on a single charge, try to restore it from itunes, backup your data on your iCloud which you think is necessary following your important apps, see if this helps then will see its further result.
