I just tested my iPad with Safari and logged into my account. CPU was 4.6 - 8.9 With tracking turned off and ads allowed etc. CPU usage got as high as 29%. before going back down.
What can be done about this? 🤔

My iPad Pro gets quite warm when on the forums here after a few min. Glad they’re looking into it.

Site and forum site still buggy as, just now on my iPad the site froze, sometimes load half of the page, sometimes load the whole page then the loading bar in the address bar would stop half way and I’d have the safari loading wheel in the top right corner stay there constantly spinning, also won’t let me change websites without killing the whole browser and reopening safari again.

Also happening on my iPhone, have to kill the whole browser sometimes so I can get the internet to work again.
 
Just happened again 🤦‍♂️🥺

Site fully loaded, yet it’s still loading 🤦‍♂️ Only way to stop it is to refresh the page, sometimes it freezes if you refresh it, or swipe back to previous page, which also freezes from time to time. then have to kill browser and start again, this can’t be good for battery life.

I’m using iPad Pro 2021 11” and I rarely see any slowdown or massive battery drain when visiting MR. I mostly use it on slide over mode though. Rarely browse MR on full screen mode.

One does simply not use macrumors on slide over mode 😳😂

Think they need to build a more efficient website and forum 🤔

Probably.
I use slide over cause this gives me the most iPhone experience without being on iPhone. I love to multitask a bit on iPad, and I use my iPhone less and less because of that.

Any updates from the macrumors staff regarding battery life drain, this forum has drained the hell out of my iPhone 12 Pro Max battery today.

Back of the phone still getting warm when on here.

On WiFi all day, low brightness

54% battery left 3h11m usage 🥺

If I were Admin here (I happened to run a Xenforo board), I would start by disabling any plugins. I notice they have "Accessibility assistive technology" at the top. Not suggesting they permanently disable that as it's obviously very important, but I'd start by temporarily disabling that just to eliminate it as a possibility. If no change, then it's either one or more plugins causing the problem or possibly advertising hooks.

Hopefully it gets fixed soon, starting to get battery drain like a Samsung exynos 2100 chip 🤦‍♂️
 
Macrumors forums absolutely destroying my 12 pro max battery life 🥺

33% battery left for 4h9m usage.

100% this forum causing the battery drain, haven’t been on all morning on my iPad and I’m up 40m on battery life.

Can we please get a update.
 
Another update for support staff I’m up 7% on battery life in my first hour usage on my iPad when not using these forums.

normally lose 10% battery in the first 1h, currently only lost 3% in the first hour.
 
Another update for the support team, this time on my iPhone.

Been using the forums only on my Mac.

My iPhone 12 Pro Max has amazing battery today.

90% battery left, 1h40m usage

If I was on the forums I’d be lucky to have 1h usage with the same battery life.

Had to charge my phone twice yesterday had 30% battery left with under 4 hours usage.

I've often cited this forum as one of the best; even referred the design and amazing functionality/GUI to other forum-type sites. I hope they figure this out!

Same here, amazing forum, but this needs to get sorted out asap, can't be good for our devices and their batteries.

One shouldn't have to choose a different browser or get a ad blocker to use this forum, honestly reckon they need to rebuild the whole site, make it more efficient and cut back on these damn ads. my phone got that hot last night and battery was draining like no tomorrow, I ended up logging out of these forums 🥺
 
When I type in a text box, like this one I’m using right now to type a post, or when I reply to a user, the experience is extremely buggy.

first of all, when I finish a paragraph and create a space between a paragraph like I just did right now, the caps lock automatically turn off when I reach the second space. Look how the first word of this paragraph is lowercase. Auto caps do turn on, but when I hit “return” twice, it turns off.

secondly, auto correct is a mess. I’m writing a and QuickType is showing me two words merged together in a jumbled mess, however what I’m writing on the text box shows something completely different from QuickType.

next, it seems auto correct is correcting the wrong word? Or random words are being typed in and I have to go back and fix it.

and by the way, all these issues seem to happen only on MacRumors forums. Does anyone else have this issue?
Yep, noticed the same issues for quite a while when typing here, must be a few months now it feels like I have been experiencing when typing here.
 
Again, it's a brand-new first, developer beta of a revamped browser. I think it's a testament to how well it's running fundamentally that people are frustrated by a short list of issues.
