iOS 18 Battery Life Thread

[ATmahe]

I suggest you try this.

- Fully charge the battery from about 10/20% without using it
- Leave it on for another half hour
- Unplug and turn off the phone for 15 mins
- Turn it On, unlock and leave it for a couple mins
- Plug in the charger for another 5 mins without using it

Enjoy!

I found it to be a better way to calibrate the battery and it seems to have stopped the inexplicable idle drain on my 13P.

To give you an update:

On the first two days I thought it changed something because I ended the day with 30-35 % battery, but then I realized I've used my phone 50 % less than I usually do (had some stressful days at my job).

Today, I slept a little longer than usual (+2h), I took it off the charger at 07:30 with (of course) 100 % battery.
At 23:00, so 15.5h after I took it off the charger, I've used it for 2h and it's at 20 % now.

Conclusion: nothing changed

That’s way to less SOT and battery life for the 15 Pro!

 

[ATmahe]

It‘s at 58 % right now, for 12h off the charger, 40 minutes SOT, 1h12m standby usage (which were phone calls over WiFi), on WiFi the whole day.

That’s ridiculous low SOT!

Ok but no point in dropping that low on battery life - with that less usage I meant

Your home/lock screen is eating all the battery. You probably have a widget refreshing too often. Remove the widgets, reboot, and test it tomorrow.

I don't understand you..you can see for yourself that background programs dominate to your battery life

Only the stock photo widget is on the homescreen.
Nothing on the lockscreen.
On the widget page: Battery, Calendar, WaterMinder (had it removed for testing), Notes, Weawow (weather, also already removed), Shortcuts.

I don't understand you..you can see for yourself that background programs dominate to your battery life

Beside of background app refresh is of for all of the top apps, there is no significant drop when background usage is shown compared to when not …
And even if you add the times and round up, it’s only 2h (1h12m + 40m) …

Teams had 50ish minutes, homescreen 20ish and is still on top, tell me which programs … I‘m begging you …
