iOS 12 battery drain too painful

What is “power IC”?

It only shows things I’ve used, if any. There was an hour yesterday the battery went from 50% to 35% with only 3 minutes of usage. 1m home screen, 1m settings (looking at battery) and 1m on a weather app.

i am only getting 8 hours with no calls, no texts, no email, no safari, no notifications, no location services, no background apps, in low power mode.

Airplane mode seems to stop drain but nothing else I can find.

Phone is 4 years old. Needs a battery every year or so (500 charge cycles).

Apple stores don’t exist in many places so they aren’t option for many of us or when traveling and after one battery replacement Apple won’t touch the device for any reason.

Not sure what you think could have been messed up by replacing the battery. It says 95% capacity, it charges and monitors and continuously depletes only after IOS 12 upgrade.

Thanks

but I’m not seeing what in that article is applicable.

1. Apple has always had battery usage issues and we all have to turn off numerous features to make it through the day.

2. IOS 12 is seriously draining many batteries and no one knows why, and is unaddressed by Apple.

3. Blaming a battery because it was replaced by anyone but Apple is a cop out. There is nothing difficult or secret about battery replacement. They are necessary pretty much every year And. No one should have to take a day off work to drive 100 miles to the Apple store for a battery replacement.

4. Supports the assumption that each IOS upgrade is meant to make older phones obsolete. I don’t subscribe to that and I will not use this issue to upgrade to a new Apple.

If this continues I’ll just try the other brand I guess.

Settings is high because I keep watching the battery deplete and try to figure it out, and using little else

Yep, last resort I think, nothing painful there, ugh
