iOS 16.1 Battery Drain

Same here, since IOS 16.1 I charge my iPhone 13 2-3 times per day. 60% gone per night. iOS 16.1.1 didn’t fix it. Since then battery health falls from 94 to 91 for less than 3 weeks.

I have data consuming by Apple ID services, 2.7G for 7 days. And don’t know how to disable it🤷

Hello, I too had very good battery performance on my 14 Pro Max until 16.0.3.

From 16.1, with 16.1, even 16.2 beta 2 I have to charge two / three times a day.

Have already turned off Siri, location services, iCloud, etc.

I have iphone 12. Recently ipdated to ios 16.1.1.Battery is draining too fast like almost 15-20% in an hour. It was better in 16.1. I was facing same issue on ios 16 , 16.0.1 also. Please APPLE get it resolved ASAP.

In case minimal iPhone usage and battery drain, have a look the high data consumption apps: in my case it was the Contacts ???!!! As the Contacts was already in sync with other clouds, I disabled the unnecessary (duplicate) Contacts sync with iCloud: Settings - your name - iCloud - iCloud Apps - Show All = turn off Contacts. At the same time turned off the Calendar due to same reason.

Battery drain disappeared.

Have a nice day!

I'm having the same issue on my iPhone 13 mini, it's making the phone borderline unusable. I got up this morning at took if off of the charger at 5:15 AM. It's now 9:10 AM and the battery is at 49% which is insane! I've used it for maybe one hour of screen time. I never had issues with this phone before iOS 16.

xs max updated it last night to 16.1.1 and the battery is just crazy now! Doesn’t charge correctly, drains super fast . The phone became superb after updating it to the iOS before this one about 2 weeks ago but now with this 16.1.1 it’s frustrating me. Apple put this ś?!&@*t right please!

Since updating to iOS 16 my 6 month old iPhone 13 is at 50% after 3 hours of moderate use. The battery life has absolutely gone to **** with this new OS. I've tweaked brightness way down, shut off background updating for most apps (Weather, in particular was a prime offender here but can't be shut off) and turned off most notifications. Still abysmal battery life.

With my Iphone 14 Pro Max, German version, the battery lasted two days until 16.0.3. Then I updated to 16.1. At first everything was fine until I did the sync with iCloud. Since then I have power consumption over night of 70% without using it. I had iCloud off, GPS off, Siri off.

Find my Iphone often has 100% battery consumption, Siri also has too much.

I really have no idea anymore.

Apple please do something with it.

Greetings from Germany

I also have the same problem on my iPhoneSE3 and iPhone 12mini, and it even became more severe after I updated to ios 16.1.1. I don't find any way to fix it. But my two iPad (iPad 2017 and iPad pro 2020) don't have this issue after updated to iPadOS 16.1.1. So I think this issue may be related to the home screen and lock screen?? Because iPad doesn't have the newly designed lock screen.

It let me feel so bad... I Hope Apple quickly do something to solve this problem!

Since iOS 16 the iPhone smartphone turned into a dumbphone!

I’m so frustrated!!!

iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 14 draining battery just by sitting on the desk with no apps running. It gets hot that you almost can boil water on it.

Charging 2 or three times a day. Is that the new normal by turning off all features just to have the iPhone to make calls? Than I can switch to my old Nokia.

I use apple products almost 20 years, but this iOS 16 takes the cake.

Hey bud, after reading the comment about recovering the phone. I restored it through my MacBook and then used my iCloud backup and the battery drain issue has gone now! Still on 16.1.1 and no issues now!

Hope this helps bud.

which steps did you do? Eg. erased the phone, restore from Mac, erased again and restore from iCloud, anything in between?

my 13Pro Max just chews they 25% battery overnight laying down doing absolutely nothing. While my basic 14 drops 5% after 2hrs of normal use…

I backed my phone up on iCloud, I plugged it into my MacBook Pro, found my phone in the finder. Synced the phone and then restored it.

when it booted up I connected to the wifi and chose to restore backup from iCloud. Chose the latest backup and the rest is history for now.

Thank you, Madz!

I am following in your footsteps and will report tomorrow. One thing that I am noticing right off the bet is my Mac is downloading the entire 6.5GB iOS update before restoring...(fingers crossed)

So... I am happy to report we have a "Good New/ Bad News" situation... The "Restore" solution from Madz solved the "daytime" battery drain, but Find My continues to hammer the battery overnight (nearly 100% utilization and loss of ~25% total charge). I have switched "my location" to another device (14), and behold -- nearly immediately, my 13Pro stopped draining the battery, and my 14 started... Net/net -- Apple has some "splainig" to do and bugs in Find My (Bluetooth scanning) to quash...

PS: Maybe Apple can "phone the friend?" :)
