“apple pencil battery life”

Hi and welcome to Developer Forums! PencilHoverPose is only available while an Apple Pencil is hovering in the area above the view’s bounds when the squeeze gesture or a double-tap gesture occurs. If Apple Pencil is farther than its maximum hover distance, its hover pose is no longer available. Check out our article on Apple Pencil and Scribble to learn more about the best practices of supporting Apple Pencil in your app.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was to intentionally make it harder so that people wouldn’t disable it and then complain about short battery life.

Un-pairing and re-pairing my watch with my phone appears to have solved the problem. My battery life is strong again. Thanks!

Considering it is my only device, I can't say i am forced to use iOS 9...but since it is good to test with the latest version, so i am here to report my finding..Historically iOS betas alwasy had poor battery life but never had anything like getting 20% left half day ....wich is surprising considering it is an update tailored at improving battery life...Will i survive? YES Do I understand it is beta? YES ....will it improve? YES an I worried? NO.... but I have to say i am not happy.. now i have to traverl with my battery pack always behind...::(

Well, Apple succeeded in its Phone Bricking Project. My 2016 SE became unusable due to iOS 14.3's amazing 100-to-zero in the blink of an eye battery trick. I took the plunge and bought a brand new SE2020. Guess what? Running iOS 14.3, its battery life is WORSE than my old phone. If Steve Jobs were alive today, I swear every single Apple software engineer would be fired for sheer incompetence.

Same issue. Massive drop in battery life with Big Sur. Even when I make sure all possible apps are closed and my Macbook Air is put to sleep...the battery still drains significantly even between uses.

I'm having major battery drain issues with both iOS 9GM and watchOS2GM. Previous 3 betas in each had great battery life. My iPhone 6 was 100% at 7:00 this morning and down to 35% at 13:30.

I had a great 9 hrs battery life with catalina on MacBook Pro 2015. As soon I upgraded it to macOS BigSur , battery is draining way fast and the laptop can hardly stay 4 hrs. I am depressed. What to do . Will there be a fix for this soon ?

Same issue here. However to add complexity to this, I just experienced my Apple Pencil 2 disconnecting randomly during use (iPad Pro 12.9, 4th gen, 90% battery charge) while not connected to Magic Keyboard. Update before post: I had to leave it alone for 15 minutes (screen off, unplugged) for it to detect again. A new release can’t come soon enough.

Dear all, when reporting the battery drain issues, could you please specify if you tried to: reset the phone and restore a backup? reset the phone and configure it as new device remove and insert again the SIM card (in some threads it is pointed out as a possible solution)? any other procedure? This would be of great help for anybody to understand if any of the aforementioned methods might work as a (at least partial) solution. Personally, I downgraded immediately from ios 14.0 to ios 13.7 for the crazy battery drain (1 day battery life with ios 13.7, 4 hours battery life with ios 14.0) and now I was wondering if the situation had improved. Thanks, best regards

Same .I updated my iPhone 11 ...iOS 14.2 my iPhone battery drain quickly ..I disabled location apps other option But there is not affecting ..I can’t understand my new iPhone 11 battery life 100% .:🤔😩But Battery drain quickly I noticed that ...🤔

I changed to the modular face too and my watch stops to reboot for one whole day.The battery life has improved too.

Hi! How’s the battery life on iPadOS 14 beta 4? On my iPhone, it was just fine. So I was just wondering how is it on an iPad?
