iOS 15.3 battery drain

hi Toon Up

It would be useful to other discussion members if you could say which "Software addition proved to be incompatible"

Was it an App? or a specific iOS setting?

Pleased to hear your battery is ok!

What do you call quickly? More than 1% drop in health for every month since the phone was new? Only quantitative evidence is of any analytical value, so come back.

I should point out that the original poster is talking about daily battety use, not battery health.

No, it's not surprising – because these are primarily user-to-user communities.

It's an iPhone 8 that has been running perfectly, with the battery lasting 2 or more days up UNTIL I did this Recent iOS 15.3 Update earlier this week to which the battery now Drains super Fast.

Infact I just took it off the Charger to check my emails and in less than 1 hour it's already down to 65% and losing charging strength almost every minute and with nothing else open or running.

But I don't have stuff Running anyways bcuz I don't use music apps and I don't use or play online games etc...

Also, when I went to unplug it a short while ago, it was very warm after being on the Charger for several hours.

This also never occurred prior to this iOS 15.3 Update!

Anyway, thanks for getting back to me and I look forward to seeing what you think...

After embarking on a software update on my iphone Xsmax from ios 14.2 to 15.3, I acknowledged not a depreciating or alleviation of battery health but changing the state of my Battery Health from 94% to an instant battery service so I wanted to be very certain if the software update was the causative factor to the current condition of my battery

Same for me. My iphone 11 battery gets drained very fast since the update. Last night, from 100% to 85% without any usage. I was sleeping and something is draining the battery. All background stuff is turned off. I used to charge my phone every 2-3 days, now I got to charge it 2 times a day. Apple doing this on purpose. Trying to kill our phones to get new ones.

I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and experiencing the same problem. My phone was working very well before, but ever since I upgraded to IOS 15.3.1, the battery drains very fast. In the past, I can use my phone for the whole day without charging, but now my battery can only last for half day. Apple used to placed a trick in IOS to force customers to buy new phones. I hope that kind of trick is not being played again here!

What, newer than iPhone 12?

This is a conspiracy theory of the most illogical type. They produce updates that can be installed successfully on 5 year old phones with zero problems.

Your difficulty with updates or settings or apps is personal to you and should not be confused with any Apple master plan you may have imagined. The remedies have been posted many times but I see you went straight for post number one and replied from there without reading.

Did you read my post carefully? It has nothing to do with the update process! It is about battery drain after the update. None of the posts provides a solution. I did read them. This is not a conspiracy theory, it has actually happened in the past in the older iPhones!! It happened to me with painful memory😡

Sorry posted in error I was in the wrong thread.

Actually yes, anyone level 2 or above is expected to report to the moderators where "terms of use" are abused.

Fancy getting there? Solve a few hundred user problems is all it takes to get to level 2.

Meanwhile read this and if none of it works get a new battery.

Another fact is that the long process of applying an iOS update can strain a weak, aging battery and be the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back". Users then often mistakenly blame the new iOS instead of the aging battery.

You previously wrote here: "...My original version SE will no longer last much over half a day without charging..." So in order to eliminate the possibility that your iPhone SE's battery was already weak and vulnerable to the strain of applying an iOS update...

Does your original version SE still have its original 6 year-old battery?

And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...

Mine is doing the same thing and is much worse with 15.3 which I thought might improve things. Apple needs to address the reasons for this.

Just checked and nothing seems abnormal!

No it doesn't. Look at the post above yours. You are in control.
