How is 9.3.2 beta 4 treating you guys so far in the battery department? I'm on 9.3, downgraded just before Apple stopped signing it as I had quite a lot more battery drain than usual with 9.3.1 and 9.3.2 beta 1. But if beta 4 is at the 9.3-level or better I'll consider upgrading again.

This is actually a psychological phenomenon. I have literally watched someone experience an issue I brought up in conversation that they swore they never encountered, and then feverishly try to hide its occurrence. Even worse, after the observed occurrence, they continued to deny their device ever exhibited the behavior.

It is a way for them to feel and/or "prove" they are superior to you. I would go so far as to say it is likely a symptom of an inferiority complex of some sort.


Here is what they are really saying, in my experience and opinion:

"I have the same device/car/widget and I have NEVER had that happen. Sucks to be you... maybe you're doing something wrong or you're such a loser that your luck is just that bad. I on the other hand am clearly more loved by the universe and do things better than you. Shame you aren't like me. I know you want to be me... it's natural. Everybody does."


I agree but would like to add my opinion. I think the person denying it might not initially even fully understand what you're attempting to explain but they've already made the decision to deny it occurring to them. But when they finally do understand they decide to stick to the original lie.

My opinion is that I've found the vast majority of people would rather be seen as "right" or "correct" rather that to know the truth.

Battery life seems just as bad with both versions. Took my 6s Plus to Apple and they told me to disable app refresh, uninstall Facebook app, and as a last resort, a full reset and reinstall. :(

My battery life on my iPhone SE has improved. I went through a full day on 50% battery. I've gotten rid of some battery draining apps lately too. (Snapchat and YouTube)

The battery so far works well in 9.3.2 (6+ 128G).

Didn't experience the battery drops which sometimes happen on the 1st day after the iOS update.

I download the ipsw from Apple and manually choose the file to update the iOS via iTunes (option click update), but not OTA.

My battery life seems to have improved a lot. I have also uninstalled Facebook app along with installing ios 9.3.2. I don't think Facebook app can have such a huge impact. My battery life has improved by 30-40 percent. I mean on 9.3.1 it used to drain like crazy.

Of course Facebook app should not drain 30-40% battery more. But lots of studies shows that can easily shortern the battery life for 10-15%.

So, it could possibility make the 10 hours battery life become 8.5 hours just by installing the facebook app (assume normal usage, but not purely install Facebook apps even without login). The more battery friendly way to use Facebook is via Safari, and "add to homescreen", this will shows the exact Facebook icon on springboard, make the similar experence like you have a Facebook app.
