apple pencil battery life

I have the same issue. I am trying to a workout app and I would like to send alert to the user via haptic feedback while he is training (and not necessarily looking the watch). I believe Apple makes those kind of restrictions to save battery life, but you end up with a useless device.

Hopefully this interview with Ive was not a sign to come that Apple will restrict the Pencil to marking features only. http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/11/17/jony-ive-apple-pencil-is-clearly-for-marking-not-a-stylus-finger-replacement

I think the extra power we see in Beta 3 is misleading. Apple stated1. Apple Pay is not functional with this beta.2. During an active workout session, new heart rate samples are not generated when the screen is off.3. Haptic feedback does not work with this beta. (not everyone is experience this)All of those items drain the battery and they're not working. So I believe its non-operational features that are giving the boost in battery life that we're seeing.

This is nothing new, every two years when it is time to upgrade phones or some great unveiling, there seems to always be some sort of malfunction to iPhones (battery, charging). I posted a day ago, but it got deleted. Apparently this is an ongoing issue with Apple. The email I received states there is a class action lawsuit which claims that a performance management feature on iPhone 6---7 plus including iOS 10---11 diminished the performance of some of those devices. If this happened a couple of years ago, we all know it is going to continue. After updating to iOS 14, my phone will not stay charged (losing 50% battery life in an hour). Even when I charge it, the battery life WILL NOT increase unless I leave it charged over night. Just do right and fix the issue, please. Asking for friends.....

Hi PiniAltWhat fixed battery life for many others is turning off the new WiFi Assist setting has fixed my severe battery draining symptom. Settings > Cellular/Mobile > WiFi Assist. Let me know if this fixes the issue for you.Max.

The lock screen took most of my battery life. By turning off some of the search results [settings--general--search], it helped lower the % of the lock screen.

Hey Andrea. Yes Its terrable on both my 6 plus and ipad air. I was hiking with my Dog for a couple miles and she went swimming and two hours later it was 60% left. I posted facebook videos and texed stuff too, but as with most Betas the first Beta is terrable for battery life. I cant revert back cause im using Watch 02 and I cant go back to 01 on the watch and BTW that battery life took a hit too.

I've been experiencing my 6s running 10.0.1 shutting down when the battery percentage reaches 25% , only coming back to life once plugged in.

URLSession background sessions get you download behavior that is sensitive to network conditions and battery life. They are the recommended way to download files to the watch.

yup i spoke to soon. was great yesterday.. . today i noticed it became disconnected several times and now its back to horrible battery life.

Yes, as with almost each beta each year, battery life goes down drastically until closer to the final release. Both the watch and phone would easily get through a day where is in iOS 9 and WatchOS 2 barely makes it half a day. This is common and is why the betas are currently only available for dev testing purposes and not meant for using on your daily phone or watch. The final release should be the same or better battery life than iOS 8 and Watch 1.0.

Has anyone seen a difference in battery performnce since last night? I put on airplane mode for whole day and decided to turn it off. So far, the battery life is back to normal and no freezing. But I disabled 3rd party apps notifications. Will turn them on later to test.

So far ios 11 beta 3 for my iphone 6s battery is much better now, than the prevous beta which i always tend to go back to ios 10.3.2 back then. and im using my phone for about a day now and seems stable and better battery life. that is what exprience now and im happy that i can use my phone with ios 11, previously on ios 11 beta 2 i exprience bad battery life which in full cycle and browsing through internet and facebook it will reduce immediately to 15% for 10 mins. which i tend to go back to ios 10.3.2.
