Anybody have battery draining issue on iOS 12 ????
I have an 2 years old iPhone 7 (normal one, not Plus) and with iOS 11 and 12 (even 12.1) the battery drains in 3-4 hrs and need to recharge 3 times a day (or more). That was until last week that I went to a Premium Reseller (in my country we don't have official Apple Stores) and do a battery change. The phone with the new battery last 8 or more hours, and only charges once in a day! So the solution for me was the battery replacement. Also, I was noticing that my battery gets hot for the 2 years that I bought the phone until the replacement. The new one doesn't do that!
My iphone 7 seemed to rectify a couple of days after it started battery draining. The problem was originally draining 10%+ every few minutes.
It now seems to have returned to normal battery usage.
How do you screenshot an iPhone 5s?
It's an iPad, not a phone and the battery was fine until the update.
Same problem here with two iPhone SE and one iPhone 6s. iOS12 is draining the battery fast.
I have also posted my problem (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8594055)
yes me too .., my battery will get me crazy after 12.0.1
Do you know what they actually did? The nearest apple store is a 3 hour drive both ways. Did they just back it up and perform a clean wipe and reinstall? Or did they replace the battery?
Just updated to iOS 12 on my iPhone SE and my battery is draining like mad hye , help? Allways have Low powermode on and nothing’s changed
When not using it, are you sure it’s Auto Locking? Perhaps when you close the cover it’s not auto locking? please check that you have your settings to auto lock after a certain amount if time. Maybe that setting got tweaked with the update and is set NOT to auto lock.
DISPLAY>BRIGHTNESS > AUTOLOCK> 2 min, etc.
if not,
I think you should leave Apple feedback.
heres a link
And reach out to them for support.
They're very helpful and will schedule a call to you that’s convenient
for you.
Late to this thread, but iPhone 7 on iOS 12.01. It’s the screen that’s draining my battery. And before everyone screams to turn the brightness down, it’s turned way, way down. The battery app in settings says my battery has 95% life.
When I’m using tracking apps for cycling and hiking, the gps isn’t much of a drain at all, the screen is off and I get excellent battery usage. When I’m using twitter or Safari (my most used apps on the phone) I’m getting about 2 1/2 to 3 hours of battery life. That’s ridiculous! I’m letting the battery drain completely, it’ll die sometime tomorrow, maybe that‘ll trigger a reset, but I’m not hopeful. I’ve never had trouble with iOS upgrades, but this one isn’t good.
The battery draining issue started for me when updated my iPhone 5s with ios 12.0. A few days later ios 12.0.1 became available, so I applied the update. Since then my phone has been working pretty well. It is not draining as badly. I will continue to monitor it. If it continues, I'll have the battery checked.
My recommendation to everyone is to install ios 12.0.1.
Good luck, all.
I updated to iOS 12.0.1 when it became available and my battery drain is horrendous and FAR FAR worse then when iOS 11.
Example - I had roughly 75% battery power, I checked a website for about a minute on a 4G signal and I was down to 35% and then quickly 29%.
This morning I had a fully charged phone, when for a run using Nike Run App and 56 minutes later my phone shut down due to no power (restarted a couple of minutes later with 10% low power mode).
The battery check laughably shows that I have 100% of original capacity etc.
Mine is an iphone 6.
I am having the same problem with my iPhone 6s. My battery indicates it's working at 82% - it is a couple of years old. But previous to the iOS 12 update I could use it all day, maybe switching to low battery mode late in the evening. Now I have to fully charge it by early afternoon - and am below 10% by the time I go to bed. It actually shut down one day last week - after it had been fully charged at noon.
This is not 82% of what I experienced before the upgrade. 82% is more like 30-50% now that I'm running iOS 12.
