I deleted all mail accounts (5 of them) within the iOS mail app as that is the only source of mail on my phone. Today battery still at 62% from the 100% charge ... looking good 36 hrs on! (Update: 43 hrs now and still a respectable 40%.)
Just did this last night. I even did my 3rd party ones too. Let’s see how this goes!
Some versions on iOS16 (and other iOS versions too) seem to have affected battery life, but it might not only be down to iOS issues. 16.6 seem to be one of the better in terms of less bugs and battery drain.
I just got inspiration from this. But without deleting my email’s accounts I setup data download in manual for all my accounts with the exception of iCloud. Probably your intuition is right. Push and auto check for emails is probably another battery drain culprit.
If you want push mail though (as I do) I leave it toggled on and my solution is working for now still!
Push drains battery no matter what device/OS or service you are using.
True. And clearly depends mainly on if mail is actually being sent by those push accounts. The Fetch ones eg Gmail can be more battery hungry so arguably leave those toggled to manual if one is concerned vs automatic.
Welp, it didnt really fix my issue...
completely and you are no adding them back??
Well! It seems Reset All Settings did the trick! Must slower battery drain this time. And this is with Background Refresh turned on too! I might not mess with anything from here on out to keep it like this.
Lot's of posts and youtubers are saying the same. Kind of seems unacceptable. My iPhone 11, almost 4 years old, still has 84% battery and I use it about 4 hours a day, used to be closer to 6.
Me too. My 14 Pro Max battery has been notably draining much faster with iOS 16.6, even though the maximum capacity is still 100%.
My phone always gets really hot when I install software updates as well. And starting from iOS 16.5.1, battery life hasn’t been so great for me..
Glad to see the return of your avatar pics!
