iOS 18 Battery Life Thread

75 watts or 7.5 watts? Is it USB-C?

Only time my iPhone detects a charger is a slow charger is when I use USB-A to USB C cables that are these cheaply made ones I get from the dollar store.

This one (7.5w)

Oh, dang it! It’s a non-MagSafe wireless charger with USB-A. No wonder it’s so slow to charge!

Embedded wireless chargers, like the one in my car, don’t cause such issues with slow charging. Even my MagSafe power bank—a black iHome one that provides up to 12 watts of wireless power for all iPhones 12 and newer via MagSafe—works well. I have a 15 pro and it works wonders

Perhaps you could try a MagSafe charger? Anker offers a wide variety of these chargers. They even collaborated with PopSockets, a well-known adhesive phone grip company, to create a MagSafe power bank that features a PopSocket! This eliminates the need for any unpleasant adhesive residue. All magnets, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

I added my Apple Watch back to my daily routine after a couple months without. Currently 18.4b2 is getting similar battery life to 18.2-3 without a watch. Some good improvement.

That’s why I think there is no link between battery life and charger model.

A colleague of mine has the same charger and same iPhone and has a so much better battery life (see old post in this thread).

Is it iCloud related ? difficult to know.

Has to be. Do you use the following iCloud features: handoff, automatic backup or anything that syncs into your iPhone constantly?

Other non iCloud features like iPhone mirroring, wireless AirPlay and Universal Clipboard can cause a toll on your battery.
