iOS 16.5.1 Battery Heat and Draining Issues 🪫☠️

Some activities such as charging or a lot of computational activity, generate heat. Some warmth is to be anticipated.* Read this article about keeping your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch within acceptable operating temperatures - If your iPhone or iPad gets too hot or too cold - Apple Support

How long have you had the phone? Losing 1-2% capacity a month is average so, if you've had the phone for 10 months or more, 90% is with in the normal range.

One of the biggest factors that can affect battery life is your cellular signal. If it's weak, you will lose battery very quickly. What is your cellular signal like?

So, pretty awful cellular signal. I would suggest that that is probably the cause.

I also have all of Siri off, spotlight search off, system haptics & keyboard haptics off as well. My iPhone 13 Pro Max only lasts 5-7 hours of screen time use. Most of the time it’s on Wi-Fi. I preordered it when it first came out. The part I’m dissatisfied with is it’s less than 2 years old & used to last 10-12 hours of screen time use & even with these battery saving settings it drains crazy & lasts approximately 5-7 hours of screen time use. I don’t think that phone model should be draining like that for it’s age, battery saving settings, etc. normally 1-2 bars out of 4 at my home.

If you are using optimized battery charging and you are using fast charging, once your phone gets to 80% charged, it will stop and say "Charging on Hold" until it's time to finish charging. For me, this is around 6am (I get up at 7:30a). Optimized charging has always worked that way but now, it tells you what's happening. It doesn't mean anything is wrong.

No, it's not. However, it is apparent to me that you don't actually want help. You want to complain. Within reason, that is certainly your prerogative. I will leave you to it.

Best of luck.

Help me update my phone

it’s look like Apple telling me buy new model.

Or perhaps it's just time for a new battery. Go to Settings>Battery>Battery Health. What does it say for the Maximum Capacity? If it's at or below 80%, you need a new battery. Much cheaper than buying a new phone.

If you need a new battery, you can follow the highly relevant instructions in the post above by Limnos.
