The latest iPhone update is draining users’ battery: Here’s how to fix it

All the suggestions. Including completely restoring the device from scratch.

The battery is horrible

I tried all tips before (ios13.6); restart the network, restart locations, Icloud turn contacts and calendar off but - battery still going down very rapidly

Previously I had 87% battery life, replaced the battery with a new one, but that didn't help much. With normal use, the battery lasts 4.5 -5 hours.

I am experiencing very same problems, phone is hot and batter draining and taking ages to charge. ,

I updated iPad and it drained overnight ( switched off) charged it today and Have not used It since and in a few hours it’s dropped to 37% , very disappointed with my apple products right now 😂

"...Looks like an employee of Apple that still trying hard to convince unsatisfied consumer.

Now I’m in complete regret for updating into iOS 13.5.1. when I should just stay on factory iOS.. ."

and you appear to be someone who will not answer responses made to them, will not try offered remedies, has no idea who runs this forum, does not understand there's no such thing a "factory iOS" and is in the wrong thread - this is the 13.6 battery drain myth thread .

"you must not post beta test reports here

Apple beta terms"

Unfortunately, the Terms and Conditions state clearly this is not an NDA issue. The OP (original poster) did not specify a bug in it's entirety (through non-disclosed code etc.)

"scripts, code snippets, utilities, configuration

profiles, sample code, troubleshooting applications and bug submission tools (“Seeding Tools”)."

The generalization of "overheating and battery drain issues" with the issue pursuant regardless of version (beta or not) is not a violation of the Terms. Maybe, to clarify, you need to read them. You as well quoted the OP (original poster) specifically yourself. If this were a violation your reply would be redacted as well. It's rather typical of automation to remove segments that people report regardless of their satisfactory of the terms and their accountability.

@peter_watt - Thanks, Peter, for the suggestions. You said: "There is no inbuilt problem with this 13.6 and the drain problem experienced by the few 13.5 users was "fixed" by 13.6. However, it is possible to have a bad update or bad apps."

It doesn't make sense to me that this problem has occurred on so many people's phones - 85 people so far have logged this issue in just a few days. So I'm hoping that Apple's tech guys can dig a bit deeper and try to resolve this, and fix with the next iOS update, ASAP. Most people report that battery drain has suddenly become an issue, and overheating is also a common complaint. If there are 85 complaints on this forum, there are probably many thousands or hundreds of thousands of affected users.

We shouldn't all have to go through the steps you recommend and restore our phones as a new device, as you recommend. Many users won't have the skills or confidence to do this, and would expect Apple to fix a problem that users didn't create. This issue is likely to affect customer loyalty and the value of the Apple and iPhone brands, so it makes good business sense for Apple to respond accordingly.

I am having the very same issue. I have an iPhone 8 (brand new). Just by getting from Lock Screen to Home Screen in less than one minute means a signifficant increase in the temperature of the processor.

Typically almost same, At night when i keep my Xs Max wifi and everything off, lock it and after 10 mins of checking it reduces by battery to 7%, whats happening and whole overnight it drains 5% only by the way.

or it could be September with ios14 .

13.6 was the "fix" for 13.5.1 battery "problems"

I challenge you to explain why half a billion iphones including all mine don't have the same problem.

Check burner Apps, background settings, connections.

Reset to factory and forget icloud.

I updated to 13.6 too, on my SE 2. Since upgrading significant loss in battery life. My New phone isn’t getting hot like some of you But battery life regardless of trying things isn’t getting better!

@HangTuah8, the SE 2nd gen is not “useless”. Same chip as the 11, but drastically less cost. Also, for the moment Touch ID is better than Face ID due to the need to use a mask for COVID-19.

Also able to use many older (i.e. less expensive) cases going all the way back to iPhone 6/6s.
