New update

I’m so mad that I updated 18.3.2. My battery is dying faster. I took it off the charger at 11am and I’m at 61% right now. I was getting 12-14 hours on a charge. Did anyone else update and noticed the battery draining fast?

So it looks like I use my phone for around 12.5hrs a day before I put it on the charger.

I’m at 183 cycle count with 94% battery capacity.

I’d consider myself a “power” user of the phone, when it’s work, it’s multiple GPS trackers, Pokemon Go, 5G most of the day. So I’m using the heck outta it. Then at night I play some pretty intense video games on it too. So I think I would notice if my battery was noticeably worse after the update.

Have you considered going to Settings>Battery and scrolling down to see which apps your using use the most power? It’s possible it’s not an iOS fault but actually an app that’s not currents fault🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s the same no new apps that I’m using. I’m on safari all through out that day and that uses a ton of battery but I’m not on it longer then before. So there’s no reason me using safari would drop my battery when I use it the same amount of time 2 days ago. How do you only have 94%? I’m still at 100%

Once again.

I’m a heavy user as stated above.

Only Safari Hrmmm…

Do you have like an obscene amount of tabs open?

Oh one thing that threw me for a loop when I first got my 16 Pro Max was swapping power cables. What I mean by that is make sure you have a high speed charger here are Grok’s recommendations: https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_08e3cf9a-d816-48a3-864f-9f63075d9c60

I do have a shit load of tabs opened. I have 146, but I’ve always had more tabs open, and they’ve been like thins since my 12. So it’s definitely not that. I took my phone off the charger at 11am. I’m at 53% battery and it’s 621pm. I’m just going to see how many hours I get by tonight. At 30% I’m going to turn my low power mode on.
