How is the performance & battery life in 15.1?

[MacSafe]

I would like to hear your experience, especially in compare to IOS 15.0.2.

Seems smoother to me and battery life seems fine. Always need to remember the battery life in the first couple of days isn't what will be experienced soon after.

Which device?

 

[chrisk11]

iPhone 11 pro, and my battery is draining faster than normal. Just as it did in 15.1b3.

 

[Slartibart]

iPadOS 15.1, 11” iPP 2020 - in one word: excellent.

 

[Boardiesboi]

Seems worse

Photos and messages apps running off screen in background for full 60 mins overnight. And I didn’t take any long videos or send more messages suddenly yesterday.

 

[BugeyeSTI]

iOS15.1 has been excellent on my X. Battery has been especially good for me..

 

[netsped]

Great on my iPhone 11, both performance and battery life.. makes me doubt about buying the 13 Pro.

I'm also seeing overnight photos and messages use. Could this be CSAM scanning in action?

 

[Ashin]

Seems the same if not better on my iPhone 12 Mini

Could be syncing to iCloud? Have you tried rebooting your iPhone?

13 Pro

13 Pro user here and i've noticed a *slight* increase in battery life. Definitely better than 15.0 and 15.0.1.

Battery,memory and performance is worse on my se2 ...

Ios updates is an endless boredom ... regret that I updated from 14.8, the se2020 is not made for ios15 ...

Battery life seems a little better on my 12 Pro Max, the main performance problem I've noticed is lagging when app updates are installing. Normally I see that when a device is getting old and the updates to iOS have slowed it down. It took 3 years before I started seeing that on the iPhone X but the 12 is only a year old now and already showing signs of slowing down. ?

Same.

i went to bed last night with 70% life left and woke up to a phone that was turned off and needing a charge.

battery app cannot tell me what apps were using battery during the time the runaway battery depletion was occurring.

11 pro max here.

Updated my sons 7 to 15.1 from iOS 14 and I’ve been checking his batt stats overnight and photos is using background activity for hours overnight after the update. And it’s only been overnight while on a charge. Maybe the photos app is doing its indexing and curating after the new install? Maybe it will go away after a few days? We will see… we will see…!! For now I’ll keep my 7 on 14.8.1. It’s nice having a guinea pig phone to see what bugs are there before I update my own!

The background activity and indexing for photos and messages stopped after the first night.

The background activity and indexing for photos and messages stopped after the first night.

Hmm. Ok. His has been going 3 nights in a row now. I’ll check tonight and see if it stops.

 

[Al Rukh]

Can anyone share your battery life experiences on 11/11 Pro/ 11 Pro Max running on 15.1?

 

[hajime]

[antiprotest]

Performance is slightly worse, most noticeable in animation stutters. Battery life seems the same.

My battery life hasn’t been great. Photos background activity as you mentioned for the first night then stopped. Then came back 2 days later. Restarted the phone and then photos background activity stopped. Battery life still not great but Would try that if you haven’t already

 

[Taz Mangus]

iOS 15.1 on my 13 Pro Max is working great. Battery life is still impressive and my phone is still running smooth and fast.

 

[sparksd]

Great for me on 12 Pro Max, 2021 12.9 Pro, and Mini 6.
