Many iPhone users are reporting significant battery drain after updating to iOS 18. Some have experienced a drop of up to 20-30% battery within just an hour of use. Additionally, many users are facing slower charging speeds, making it difficult to get through the day without frequent charging.
Key Issues Reported:
- Battery draining quickly: Users are finding that their iPhones need to be charged more frequently after the update.
- Slower charging speeds: Several iPhones are taking longer to charge after the iOS 18 update.
Apple’s Response and Tips
Apple has acknowledged these issues and shared a few temporary solutions while they work on a fix. They explained that after major updates, background processes might cause higher battery consumption initially, but performance generally stabilizes after a few days. Meanwhile, Apple has provided the following tips to manage the issue:
- Enable Low Power Mode: This helps reduce background activity and conserve battery.
- Disable unnecessary background apps: Stop apps from running in the background by adjusting settings.
- Turn off location services: Reducing location tracking can significantly save battery life.
- Reduce screen brightness: Keeping brightness low or enabling auto-brightness can minimize battery drain.
If you’re affected by these issues, keep an eye out for future updates, such as iOS 18.0.1, which is expected to address these problems.
