“apple pencil battery life”

Turning off Hey Siri on the watch helps the battery life considerably. atleast it did in my case.

well, my battery life ended up still being pretty dysmal. 20% still by 7pm...

After the last OS26 developer beta update the watch series 6 battery drains fast, in less than two hours life. I visited Apple Store , they said the battery was dead so I had to buy new watch series 10 The same issue happened in the new watch, the battery meter shows 50% after 1 hour Right now I’ve downgraded my update version to beta 11 until I can find a solution

I update from Catelina to Big Sur on a 2018 Macbook Air, and the battery life has been reduced a lot, the battery is draining very very fast, I am Planning to Roll back to Catelina, Unless there is an update coming to fix this?

Different games have different levels of complexity, so there is no good generic guideline. Far better for you would be to use Instruments to verify that your game is using only the resources it needs and isn't wasting any computing time. Also you should look into the Energy Impact debug gauge.App Review does reject apps that use excessive battery life and generate a lot of device heat, but I believe they tend to overlook battery life and heat if the app is doing a lot of work and producing great results. For example, the HD version of Leo's Fortune I have on my MacBook Air eats through battery life like nothing I've ever seen, but have you seen what you get in return for all that power-hungry code? 🙂

Replying to the suggestion below: What I did was I went to Settings, Battery and toggled OFF Battery Percentage. Then I scrolled down and selected Battery Health, and toggled OFF Optimized Battery Charging. Then I did a hard restart of the phone, went back into the Battery settings again and turned Optimized Battery Charging back ON and Battery Percentage back ON. My battery percentage indicator immediately went from 1% to 79% after that. I was at 49% battery life (iPhone SE, iOS14.2) before trying this, and when it was completed less than 2 minutes later it had dropped to 41%. But not giving up, will try again and see if the method works after full charge. As Apple has suggested a complete wipe as one solution, can anyone report if that solved the iOS14 battery drain issue?

This has resolved my battery life issue. An hour later I am 4% down, wheras before I would be 20% down

yes, I get 4 hours on a full charge...battery life is awful! Watch is about useless.

Same issue with me as well. My iPhone XS battery life dropping quite significantly (Was 85% and now it's 81%) facing severe battery drain issues after updating iOS 14.2.

Hi abz786 (and others),If you're still seeing poor battery life, please install the Battery Life and sysdiagnose profiles available here:https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/profiles-and-logs/?platform=watchosReproduce the issue - taking note of your general activies during the day. Take a co-sysdiangose and attach to a bug report created here:https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/Thanks!-nick

I had the same idea lol. If the outside of the phone case contained a solar cell, it can maintain power for a longer period and maybe even charge the battery. This will be a great feature to end battery life problems.

What is the level of the device when you're trying to charge it? Do you have the new Battery Health Optimized Battery Charging enabled? The feature will NOT charge your phone all the way every day to extend the life of your battery. This gets into the battery chemistry itself. My iPhone XS IS working on wireless charger with Beta 3 that I installed from 12.3.x.

12.9 OTA worked fine for me. Directtv Now is the only app i have that crashes. Battery life ***** though.

Yes!My phone was very hot this morning and the battery life had gone down fast. Did a reboot and am charging and we will see.
