I recently updated my iPhone 11 to iOS 16.0.2. Ever since the iOS 16 update my battery life is horrible! I need to charge my phone at least twice during the day. Is Apple going to address this issue?

Is Apple going to address the horrible battery life ever since iOS 16 update? This is ridiculous. I’m constantly worried my phone will die when I need it most

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Hello,

With any new version of iOS there are always maintenance and re-indexing tasks to be performed. It should settle down in a few days. These are the standard steps for short battery life: 

1) Have you tried a restart?  If not, do it now.

2) Go to Settings > Battery > BATTERY USAGE BY APP to see the apps that are consuming your battery.

3) Check “Battery Health” in the link: 

iPhone Battery and Performance

4) If all else fails, consider a battery replacement:

iPhone Battery & Power Repair

Good luck.
