Ios 15.1 battery drain

I don’t buy into the not apple fault, they messed up big time with 15.1. Any of the 14 or 15.0 had no such issues and the support are giving customer excuses instead if involving the developers as they should.

They did not mention anything about battery management changes specifically in version 15.1 - it is mostly extra features for iPhone 13, etc…

The QA guys there don’t do the job and approve buggy versions, btw version 15.0.1&2 had other problems like app freezes and iOS crushes once in a while(I experienced those, though they might be related to apps incompatibility with iOS - iOS need to protect itself).

I’m disappointed with Apple(reconsidering the plans to upgrade to iPhone 13, if this saga continues - I’ll be better off with a google pixel).

Same here, I’ve had the iPhone 12 Pro Max since December (not even a year old.) And my battery has gone to ****, I used to get an easy 2 days out of my phone. Now I’m lucky if I can get 8 hours on a good day!! Weirdly enough it’s been happening since iOS 14.6 but apple refuses to fix their iOS and make it bug free!!! This might be my last iPhone because of how pathetic Apple is with this stuff. Spend months testing a new ios only for it to be filled with bugs and battery drain.

I’m dealing with excessive battery drain on my 12 pro max and the phone isn’t even a year old with 100% battery capacity!!!! Apple needs to fix their buggy iOS because this has been going on for months.

In 15.1 battery drain so much faster i done a lot of customisation to reduce battery drain but its keep draining

i done limit frame rate

Reduce motion

background app refresh stopped

location services turn off which one is not useful

reset network settings

and many more but still keep draining

even I restored my phone as well

i think ios 15.0 was much batter than ios 15.1

I agree I do believe there is some type of pre-designed drain that Apple have worked into the software. The battery used to work great but they probably realized that not many people would buy new batteries so they’ve organized a systematic battery drain. My battery no matter what the usage seems to go down the same level and I end up at the same level at the end of the day. I.e. about 10%. It is actually pretty shocking that they are getting away with this. I have a iPhone max pro 12.

I have tested all the setting changes and recommendations Apple support provided (see my previous comment) and I have not see any improvement. My batteries drain noticeably faster (as compared to pre iOS 15.1) on all my devices including an iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Time to time the same issue comes again and again after iOS updates... :( I have the same issue with iOS 15.1 (had it with some iOS 14.x, don't remember exactly) and there is no specific app which is shown as a battery eater (and I don't use Safari at all): so, the battery is drained by some system processes. It would be great if Apple published their update ONLY AFTER THEY TESTED BATTERY LIFE AND RESOLVED BATTERY DRAIN ISSUE IF FOUND.

Yes I know - I was told that by a junior Apple support operative. This was later contradicted by a senior support operative. But they did both say that Apple is aware about the problem and is testing for faults at the moment, so hopefully a fix will be issued in due course.

Same here, Xs Max and I get a fraction of the battery life I used to. I am also having significant issues with my hearing aides and the Oticon On app since the update. The hearing aides continue to shut down repeatedly, making life very difficult to simply function as I have an 80% loss in one ear and 60-65% in the other. Then I have to worry about my battery cutting out really fast now as well! Give us a patch!!!

Antu_13 - may I suggest that you send a Bug report to Apple Feedback (Google it, should bring up the correct page)?

Apple engineers don't read these user forums, but they do read Feedback reports. If enough people report the same issue, Apple will do something about it. Thanks.

exactly the same issue; since I updated my IOS to 15.1 I have to charge my phone constantly - three, four times a day and I haven't used it much at all. only for some texts and one short phone call. This is completely unacceptable.

Same problem. I’ve tried everything suggested online from hard resetting to reset all settings. Now I have other problems as well as some apps not showing up in the notifications settings so I can no longer get notifications for apps like Amazon or Outlook. It’s been a nightmare since I upgraded and it’s been longer than a month no new updates.

I saw other people doing that with no success. at the moment I use the notifications coming from teams which works for the moment. that was not an upgrade it was a time bomb. my cellular settings changed call waiting was deactivated. The phone somehow looks slower etc.

I own iPhone SE, my battery was massively depleted. Before the update - I could go 3 days without charging. Right after the update, I noticed a drastic drop from 79% at 10pm to 1% the next morning. I recharged the phone and the next night I was again at 81% when I actually turned off the phone and the next morning after a restart the battery level was at 40%.

Does anyone know why this update is so corrosive to battery life?

I like my phone (it fits perfectly in my side pocket and does what I need it to do), but if the rumors are true, that apple does create these updates to tax the battery and force the sales of new phones - then I think I will be looking at Android for my next phone.

My battery health after updating the IOS 15 went from 99% to 93% in less than two months. It drops 1% each week, and I’m actually considered if you’ll get to fix THIS BIG ISSUE, cause my iPhone is actually dying.
