I have a new iPhone provided by my work, which I use for work purposes only - phone calls and SMS, no web browsing, Facebook etc. It's also my first iPhone device.

 

It's got great battery life; after getting it I noticed it took several days for it to reach 0%, which is quite impressive.

 

However after an iOS software update was applied yesterday, I seem to be getting horrible battery drain. I charged it fully yesterday and it was on overnight. No activity whatsoever on it (no calls or anything) yet this morning it was on 75%! Previously it might have gone down 1-2% overnight but not 25%.

 

Googling indicates other people have this issue but no resolution, apart from "wait for the next update".

 

Is this sort of thing normal with an iOS update? Must say I don't even notice this on my 6 year old Samsung and I thought the battery on that was getting bad.

You do see reports of it, but it’s not that common. It just the usual negative bias whenever you read any on line reports. I’ve owned about 20ios devices now and I’ve never had it.

 

most common actions

 

  • Perform a hard reboot, that sorts out a lot of iOS issues immediately after an update
  • Wait a few days. I’ve heard reports that after an update the phone will rebuild all of its indexes and caches and that’s what causes the drain. It may come right in a day or two
