apple pencil battery life

I am having the same issue and my battery life is significantly reduced.

Currently running iOS 14.2 RC on iPhone 11, not the best in terms of battery backup, 13.7 was much better with battery life. Beginning to doubt Apple’s move since geekbench battery scores are degrading alarmingly with each consecutive iOS update. Video posted by iapplebytes on youtube will shed more light on the previous statement.

I don't have any workaround, just wanted to chime in and say I'm having the same issue and wanted to ask about battery life. Once it started happening to me it cut my battery life almost in half some days. Also, the weather complication doesn't show temp, only two dashes.

Hi Pureitek,What fixed battery life and various assorted issues for others was to:Unpair the watch from the iPhoneRe-Pair watch and setup as new deviceOf course, it's not ideal having to do this, but it's better than poor performance and short battery life. 🙂Max.

These changes had no effect on battery life for me on an iPhone 6.

Are there healthkit changes of collecting data timing for battery life?

Same issue with my 6S. Before Downloading iOS 14.1, I had great battery life. Since downloading iOS 14.1 my battery drains super fast. I’ve shut down all background apps, changed general and app settings to preserve battery life, and powered off/on. The battery still drains even when essentially not running anything. This battery drain issue is ridiculous and needs to be fixed ASAP! No one wants to have to charge their phone every couple hours.

So is your battery life better and SIRI still working?

I wound up running into this as well. I back-levelled the OS to iOS 10 and the same thing happened. It turned out that the pencil's battery could not hold a charge.

installed big sur went from a great battery life to watching the percentage fall by the minute (or quicker). This when only doing a little light browsing. no video no complicated calculation. When battery was highlighted in the beta testing how could Apple do this? It seems their marketing calendar beats any consideration for their users.

I have a series 4 apple watch. I was getting 17 to 18 hours per day before I had to charge my watch. I installed version 7.01 and my battery life dropped to 3 or 4 hours per day. I called apple and they said that when you get a new version installed it takes more battery life. I said that is crazy, that clearly there was something wrong with this new version of the operating system. She also said there was no way to go back to a previous version. She said I need a new battery and it would cost $325 for a service call. I went nuts and she changed it, said, oh wait a new battery is only $79. Cleary there is something wrong with this version of the OS. You shouldn't have to buy a new battery just because you upgrade to a new OS. Or at least you should be able to go back to a previous version. I have an Iphone 11 pro and my apple watch and my wife is about to buy an iphone 12 max. I am seriously thinking of changing my mind
