Why does iOS 18.4.1 on iPhone 15 Pro drastically reduce battery life? I'm extremely frustrated with my new iPhone 15 Pro. It came with iOS 18.4, but after the latest update to 18.4.1, my battery life has taken a nosedive. Despite making all the necessary tweaks to optimise performance, I'm still forced to use ridiculous settings like lowest brightness, reduced white point, reduced motion, and turned off transparency just to get 5-6 hrs of battery. It's infuriating to spend a fortune on a device and then have to cripple it with workarounds to prevent it from draining the battery. Can someone please explain why Apple can't deliver a more battery-friendly iOS? [Re-Titled By Moderator]

iPadOS 16.3 Battery life on 5th generation iPad Pro (with M1). Hi, I’m currently using iPadOS 15.7.2 on my 5th generation iPad Pro (with M1). Recently I started considering whether to update to iPadOS 16.3. My biggest fear is that the battery life will take a hit. I am using my iPad to study at the university and the battery is very important to me. Can you please give me an advice whether to update or not? Thank you

Any increase in CPU loading will require more power - however, whether or not Stage Manager causes a measurable reduction in battery life between charges will be unknown prior to someone performing structured testing and measurements - and publishing the results.
