I just updated my iPad AIR5 and Ipad AIR5 m1 version 17.0.2

Dear you guys, Before updating iOS 17, I thought that this version will have some new features or some features will be enhanced but not. It's really make my phone's battery drain more than as usual. Normally, I just charge battery only 1 times/ a day but now after updating to iOS 17 I often charge 2 times or more while I still use the same apps

On iOS we are trying to log energy use by our network extension to help us isolate troubled areas. task_info with TASK_POWER_INFO_V2 does return task_energy value and it's growing over time, but it's not clear what exactly it means and how it supposed to correlate to battery usage screen from iOS settings. Does anybody know anything about this?

UIDevice.current.batteryLevel is now returns battery levels in increments of 5% only. Same goes with battery charging events. This must be fixed.

I bought a MacBook Air M2 a few days ago. Today I started using Xcode 15 to learn iOS development. But as soon as I turn on the simulator, I notice that my mac gets very hot and drains a lot of battery. Is there any solution for that? I repeat the MacBook is brand new.

I have an iPhone 14 Pro and my battery health is at 100%. However, after updating to iOS 17, the battery is draining excessively. During a 30-minute audio call, the battery percentage dropped from 100 to 83. Do you have any advice on how to address this issue?

Hi there, My battery health has significantly gone down since when i bought my iphone 14 pro max. I bought it around last week of october and now my battery health is 91% as of now. Is this normal ?? or will apple help me out if i go to them for it? i dont know if this helps but im currently in india and the temperatures are super high here during summers. Also im not able to slide when i play any video (you know how you can move the video up or down by just sliding your finger thingy) on the default player of iphone since i got into ios 17 beta? please tell me the fix of it as well. looking forward to hear soon.

My Iphone 14 was bought in March 2023 and now after 6 months, the battery health is dropped to 95%. Is it normal situation? Thanks in advance.

I got this iPhone 14 in Product Red, 128 GB in February 2023, the same year I'm posting this. I've mainly used it for taking photos and calling my partner, with less than 8 apps and around 1,000 photos stored. I always use the original cable for charging and don't play games in the phone (TBH, I don't have any games in this phone) that could harm the battery. However, the battery health has dropped to 93%, which is lower than expected for just 6 months of use. While some may argue that this figure is still quite acceptable, it falls short of what I anticipated for a new device with only six months of usage. I can draw a comparison with my previous phone, my previous phone, an iPhone SE 2021, endured heavy gaming for 12 hours a day and didn't have such a battery drop in the same timeframe. I'm genuinely curious if there's an issue with this new phone, even though I follow charging best practices by not going above 80% or below 20%.

Hello, i am from Greece, i have an iphone 13 pro bought it exactly 1 year ago. For 8 months period my battery health was at 98% , and its been 1 month that almost every week drops 1% now is at 93%. The charging scedule is the same like before ,i havent changed anything from my routine. statistically 96% will be ok nothing less nothing more. And my friends too, with the same phones and also the rumour for iphone 14 that the health drops fast. Can you explain please these drop because is not normal? Thank you.

Hi, How would I go about keeping a program at full capacity even as I leave the application? I am on Mac M1 (Ventura 13.5) and working in Unreal Engine. Specifically, I want to be able to stream my scene as I am working in it/playing the scene but this requires me to leave to application as I am working with 3 applications at the same time when doing so. Whenever I leave UE it becomes a background application and frame rate drops from 60 FPS to 3. I tried to renice but although UE is prioritized it nevertheless becomes treated as a background application and FPS drops. I suspect this has something to do with energy saving but I need to find a way around it. Anyone have an idea of how to sort this?

I'd like to confirm the battery usage of an app I am developing on iOS, specifically on Xcode 13 and iOS 15. (Note: This app previously showed no issues with battery usage on previous versions of iOS.) Previously, it seems that there were two ways to gather energy usage information: #1. On the device under Settings > Developer > Logging As per Apple's documentation described in the section titled "Log Energy Usage Directly on an iOS Device". However, on iOS15, I can't find any options for logging under Developer or anywhere under settings even when searching. #2. Profiling via Instruments using the "Energy Log" template As per the same documentation from Apple described in the section "Use the Energy Diagnostics Profiling Template". While it is still available in Xcode 12, this template is missing in Xcode 13. Naturally, it's also not possible to profile an iOS15 device with Xcode 12. Digging through the Xcode 13 release notes, I found the following: Instruments no longer includes the Energy template; use metrics reporting in the Xcode Organizer instead. (74161279) When I access the Organizer in Xcode (12 or 13), select an app and click "Energy" for all versions of the app, it shows the following: Apple's documentation for "Analyzing the Performance of Your Shipping App" says: "In some cases the pane shows “Insufficient usage data available,” because there may not be enough anonymized data reported by participating user devices. When this happens, try checking back in a few days." Well over a year into production and having sufficient install numbers, I have a feeling that waiting a few days might not do much. I would like to determine if this is a bug in my app or a bug in iOS15. How can energy usage data be gathered using Xcode 13 on iOS 15?

A new feature in Settings > privacy & Security> Location Services that allows users to disable location access for all installed 3rd party applications. I think this is a great idea. It would save battery life and improve privacy for users. It would also be helpful for tracking kids and teenagers, as well as for people with Alzheimer's or dementia and syndrome down people. Apple and Google should store children and teenagers' school locations on their Apple or Google accounts. I think this is a good idea, but I don't think it should be mandatory. Parents should have the option of whether or not to share their child's school location. this helps to protect our teenagers to be safe. Apple should distinguish between known locations, such as home, work, and school. This would be a helpful feature for apps that need to know where the user is located. For example, a delivery app or Amazon iOS App could use this information to let the user know when their package is expected to arrive. Apple should create a Location Known Kit for Location access. This would allow apps to share location information with each other. and there is no need to check over and over by different 3rd party who installed multiple and different applications to check the Locations over and over and it's a disaster that if users are at home or at workplace or at school most majority of the time. please note above new enhancement might help a lot of Apple home and Google Home's routine and automation feature to make them possible This would save battery life and improve performance. I think these are all great ideas. I hope that Apple will consider implementing them in future versions of iOS and iPadOs and Watch OS. Thanks in advance. Best Pooya Mohammadhossein Pooya M

After I downloaded Apple battery life profile and sync the device data, I got powerlog_***.PLSQL files. But the data in the file is about one month ago, not now. Why?

I bought my iPhone 14,7 months ago and it has dropped 4% during April and May.My phone battery dropped from 97% percent to 96% just 3 days apart in May.I am new apple user so can someone please explain me and explain how I can avoid more battery dropping and how to fix it.Thank you!
