I am reaching out to inquire about the implementation of an energy monitoring solution similar to Xcode's Energy Impact tool for iOS apps. Specifically, I would like to understand the following aspects to address issues like overheating and rapid battery drain:
How can we achieve monitoring and calculation of CPU, GPU, and network usage over a period of time within an app?
How is the current energy consumption level of an app determined? Additionally, how are the weights for various factors like CPU, GPU, network, and location usage allocated when calculating the overall energy impact?
Any guidance or resources you could provide regarding these questions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your assistance.

Dear Apple Support Team,

Since running 18.4 beta 3 my phone doesn’t stop charging at its pre determining %
it’s set at 80% and until now has always held at that percentage but since installing beta 3 it’s gone to 100% and held at that when charging overnight
anyone else experiencing this?
I just bought my iphone 15 128gb last august 2024 and it’s already in 93% battery health. Whenever my battery percentage drop to 29% my battery health will also drop 1%. For example, i forgot to charge my phone, the battery health percentage is 94%, because i forgot to charge it, it is currently in 29% battery percentage. When i look up the battery health percentage, it is now 93% Btw, i use 30% - 80% charging tech. Sorry for my english. English is not my first language.
It looks like, for some reason, our apps are using a bunch of power sometimes. sysdiagnose has this in the power log:
Never mind. Including the output of sysdiagnose has "sensitive language," and it won't tell me what is sensitive, making this a waste of my time.
ETA: Ok, I I can attach the file: power.log
I've gone through the energy documentation, but it seems geared towards embedded, not macOS, so I'm not sure how I can figure this out more. The extra problem, of course, is that we have a network extension, two daemons, and a GUI app. 😄
So the battery level value is in accurate returns the battery percentage in multiple of 5 values e.g. battery percentage is 42 but the api returns it as 40. So please fix the issue if possible because i checked that the
devices running iOS versions below 17 appear to be working fine.
Currently i am using an iphone 15 pro which is just 7 months old but it was good till this month it was at 97% even after using more than 6 months, but in recent fews days it is regularly dropping by 1% every day and now it is at 89% only with 10 to 12 days it dropped by 8% . Is my battery defective or something is wrong with my phone .
bcoz of this i am very upset because of this bad decrease of battery health . i have heard it is normal to degrade by 1% monthly but mine is dropping daily its soo frustrating.
and if my battery reaches under 80% within the warrenty period?
will get a free battery replacement from apple or not ? I don’t have apple care+ .
But its under 1 year standard warrenty .
please reply apple as its soo frustrating
Battery health reduced to 89 from 98 within 2 months on iPhone 15 Pro and Cycle Count is just 314.
Is it the software update doing this?
what do i do is it going down too fast?
six months have passed since I bought this iPhone 13. till 3 months it was having the battery health of 100% but now it is draining rapidly. It drained to 99% in November.at the beginning of December it was 98%. on 23 December 97% and now on new year its 96%. can anybody tell me why ?
I am building a watchOS app with iOS companion app.
The watch app needs to track the heart rate during the night or while user is sleeping. And the desired frequency of measurement is 0.2Hz (every 5 seconds)
For this I am using the HKWorkout mode with mindAndBody session.
While it works fine, One of the main issue is: after about 6-7 hours of usage, the battery on the watch drains between 40% (Series 9) and 100% (series 7, I think)
My questions:
Are there any other option to track user's heart rate without workout, while the app could be in background?
Another side effect of this workout mode is, Even if we choose not to save the workout in HealthKit, the Activity rings gets populated by this mindAndBody session, which makes it when the user is waking up, the bar is already full, This is not desired.
Is there any option to specify for ActivityRing skips this?
Highly appreciate any help in advance.
Cheers - Prakash

Recently after the update of iOS 18.0.1 my iPhone 15 pro max drains very fast if I'm in normal usage only at one day i.e. on 19th of October I checked my battery health it shows me 99% as of today i.e. 30th October it is 96% I'm bit confused is there any issue like this to anyone i would like to know.And is there any solution for this?
In October the 9th I had 97% battery health and after not even a month (on the 28th October) my battery health went down to 94%. Anyone knows why ? I haven’t been using my phone more or charging it more than usual.
using an iPhone 15 pro max.
This is really concerning !!! 3% in less than a month?
I recently bought a new iPhone SE and transferred all of my data. I want to keep the old iPhone and have removed most of the Apps. However when I charge it fully at night, the battery is almost dead the following morning. This was not the case before I bought the new phone. When I check the battery app, it doesn't indicate any use that would explain why the battery is almost exhausted.
I bought my phone on April 1st week, 2024. In September battery was 96% cycle count 260. Now after 1 month battery health is 90% in cycle count 300. I am using my phone everyday4-5 hours and maitaining 20-80 charging. I didn't play any kind of games in my device. My question is why apple claim 1000 cycle count and 80% will be? And how to solve this issue?
I have an iphone 15 pro, it’s only 4 months old and the battery health has dropped by 2%(98% now).
I don’t let my battery drop below 25% and change only to 80%. I use an original apple charger and cable.
The total battery cycle count is only 117.
I don’t understand why it’s dropping so quickly.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks
What are the possible KPI requirements set by Apple AI for cellular networks, e.g. regarding latency, throughput or jitter?
What is the expected effect on iPhone energy consumption?

Since installing WatchOS 11 on my ultra 2, the battery life has decreased significantly. This morning alone (in the space of 4 hours) It has dropped 23%. This isn’t normal for my watch to drop that much in such a short period of time. I’m wondering if there is a setting somewhere that has turned itself on with the update and causing the watch to use the sensors more, shot in the dark.
I have also noticed the watch is recording more exercise minutes (when not in a workout) than it did previously before the OS 11 update.
We've been using our app for the past year, and a user came back today that after three minutes, their phone starts getting hot and the screen dims. He is using 17.6.1 with an iPhone 14 max. No one else is seeing an issue, but with the posts online about 17.6.1 battery drain, I wonder if our AR app is somehow more sensitive to the issue.
So , i have bought my Iphone 15 in the release week . Since the beginning i’ve noticed some overheating but i brushed it off since so many people were having it , but i still feel like it overheats especially when using the camera and making calls. 10 months later , my battery health is at 88% at 308 cycles , which would be 1 charge per day . Im worried its dropping too fast tbh and i wanted to know if this is normal .
