HOW IS YOUR BATTERY LIFE ON IOS 10.2

[Septembersrain]

I guess the larger display drains the bigger battery on the 7+ More, which is why the battery life is only a little better than the standard 7.

Or perhaps that's more of an average (or even slightly below average) battery life of a 7+ compared to above average battery life of 7.

I think what apps you use and the brightness make a big difference. I've seen higher battery life but when I'm on high brightness, using Tapatalk, Facebook, Safari, I'll notice quicker battery drain.

Agree, although it's generally games and video stuff that drain the battery considerably more than the likes of tapatalk and Facebook etc as they're a lot more cpu intensive.

I've always had massive drain on Facebook and Tapatalk. No idea why.

The Facebook app is known to be a cause of background/standby drain, that's why some advise using Facebook through the browser instead, ..although I don't seem to suffer from it personally.

So you'd say you save more battery having auto brightness off? That's the one thing I've left on. I'll test out turning it off now.

 

[Daniel80]

Yes because on Autobrightness function light senzor is working all the time.

Depends how high you set the brightness manually

If it's on the lower half of the scale you could save battery with auto brightness off

My battery has improved a lot since i turned of auto brightness ( i posted some time ago).
Not sure if it is bug in ios and it can be annoying to keep adjusting brightness but atleast i can use the phone for full day without worrying about pluggin in the day!

Perhaps something got stuck syncing or running after the update? Have you tried restarting? Perhaps resetting some (or all settings)? Maybe even re-installing if it all continues?

Thanks, have been on apple support site and followed all advise printed.

Just upgraded to 10.2 on my 5s. Over night the battery went from 100% to 7% . My wife also has a 5s without upgrade and hey ho after recharging at the same time her phone is on 94% this morning. WHAT IS GOING ON is a fix coming APPLE?

A ****ing joke on my SE, barely gets 7 hours.

 

[Donga120]

Lol. Barely get 4 hours out of a 6s+!!

 

[Mac Rules]

Was 100% when I left house this morning at 09:00, now 13:00 with 1% left. Insanely bad.

Before 10.2 I used to get a solid 7-8 hours

When I play Pokémon Go I get these results after playing for 3 hours and I see the GPS sign in the top of your screenshot. Is your GPS maybe always running?

I was outside when I took the screenshot but until that point I had been in the office with wifi rather than 4G and no apps running

 

[krishmk]

I turned off auto brightness and i am getting almost an extra hour and half usage with one full charge. I am getting almost 9 hours with 60 hours of standby.

 

[Mac Rules]

Have just returned to office with battery indicating 1% for the last 90mins, plugged in the charger and the charge jumped instantly to 29%.

In time time taken to write this message I'm already at 33%.

Something isn't right.

my iPhone 7 Plus does not seem to go to sleep on 10.2 Usage and standby time is always the same, few minutes give or take

Let the phone charging some time after it reaches 100%. This "problem" should go away (it did on my 7 Plus).

Close all apps in the app switcher then do a hard restart by holding down the sleep/wake button and volume down button at the same time until you see the apple logo. Hopefully this will fix the rouge stuck process that's not allowing your phone to sleep properly

Im not seeing a BIG different from iOS 10.1.1

The battery life on my iPad Mini 2 is horrible for what I do with it.

It generally runs really slow, horrible battery life, and an overall disappointment. I wish I would have never upgraded from iOS 9.

Hopefully it gets better with some updates.

 

[Veltix]

Always get 10 plus hours of usage on my 7 plus

Same on mine. I'm very happy with the battery life and with the phone.

 

[scapegoat81]

It's been terrible on my 6S

 

[Daniel80]
