It might be me, but iOS 9 Battery life so far has been painfully bad, down from 100% to 85% without using it much in 2 hours... has anyone experienced anything similar?'
I might try a complete restore since i only updated from iOS 8 to iOS 9 Beta, just curious to see if anyone else is in the same boat.....after all ...battery life is one of the focus for iOS9.

Likewise. Woke up at 100%. Drove to work, and it's down to 81%. 4 hours later, 11% 😟
lol
I updated my iPhone 5S on monday night. I agree with everyone, battery life was horrible. I woke up this morning with 100% and 3 hours so far only lost 9%. with 43 minutes of usage. So it seems, that like early in this post, Siri might be indexing because my battery life has seemed to improve since I've updated.
Instantly noticed my phone heating up while downloading new mail messages. My battery drain was incredible. Turned off background app refesh to see if that will help.
Same as everyone else. Hot phone and batteri goes from 100% to 0% on under 5 hours with light use on a pretty new iPhone 6.
Same here - iPhone 6 w/ ios9 beta installed - phone was in bag when I went home from work around 6PM. When I put it in the bag it was just taken off the charger and was at 100%. At 7:30AM I went to look at my meetings for the morning and it just showed the low/no battery graphic.
Yes I know it's a beta. Yes I'm aware of the crap that beta's can bring - I've been through four of these cycles now. I just want to add my experience.
Hi all,
This seems to be a very real issue and the best we can do to help Apple to fix it as soon as they can is to submit radars with battery logs.
How to generate battery logs can be found here:
ssame problem here, both on iPhone 6 and the Apple Watch (not yet upgraded to Watch OS 2). Burned through a full, nearly new iPhone 6 in 5 hours without actually using the phone for anything except with the watch. Watch battery gone in 4 hours. Did a complete reset of watch, and set up phone from scratch. Not so much battery problem on iPad Air.
your watch battery is also effected because iOS 9 on iPhone?
Apple must fix the battery issue ASAP. I know, that is a beta, but this problem is heavy. Apple please roll out the beta 2 with a battery fix. than we can focus on our apps...
Same here batterie is realy a pain in the ass.
Such a shame that they say on wwdc that the barttery life would be soo much better an then this...
Why do they have this in every single beta 1?
Well I leave my iPhone in the box for now and wait for beta 2 😟
My development software was running 18% CPU on an iPad Air with iOS 8.3. With iOS 9 Beta 1 it's taking 59% for same operations. The issue seems to be with collections.
I disabled mobile data completely and enabled power saving mode and Wi-Fi and the battery drainage/leaking stopped completely for me. I am testing iOS 9 beta 1 on my iPhone 6. Now it's been in standby mode that way for 1 hour and 14 minutes and have dropped only 1 %. I've already reported it to Apple.
Any one else that can try the same thing on their devices?
Cheers!
disable: Mobile data
aktivate: power saving mode
right?
Yes, that did it for me completely. Now I am testing running with only mobile data disabled, wi-fi on and "no" power saving mode. To see what happens.
if this is also succesful the next step is:
aktivate: mobile data
disable: 3G/4G
:-)
Yes, I am going to charge it to 100% now and enable "2G" and see what happens with it. Seems like it has something to do with mobile data enabled and maybe the 3G/4G? Or just having mobile data enabled at all.. At least on my iPhone 6 128GB.
Noticed another thing now.. When charging it takes longer to charge than before. And it doesn't get as hot when mobile data is disabled.
After 2 hours and 50 minutes of use battery went from 100% to 5%. This was 4 hours and 45 minutes total standby time. Anyone else notice it charges much slower as well? Had it plugged in for 3+ hours yesterday and it only went from 8% to 42%.
my phone is 100% charged now an i have 3G/4G disabled.
i try this an keep an status update here :-)
Mine used to charge quickly when mobile data was enabled, now when disabled it takes longer to charge.. So I am testing some things now but have to let it charge to 100% first and then I'll run some tests to see if we can figure out the issue.
Ok, good 🙂 Let me know what happens. I am charging to 100% then I'll run some other tests and ideas 🙂
Im getting issues with Standby and Usage times being identical as well as the awful battery life.
I have the same issue. Did you do a fresh install? My next step here is to erase and re-install from scratch.
same here iPhone 6 plus battery is horrendous. But my iPad air 2 is actually the same it wad on iOS 8 which is great easily last a day just the iPhone with the issues
Now I have run 33 minutes usage, 56 minutes in standby and it's on 97%. So I have lost 3% on that time. And I had a 13 miutes long phone call during that time.
Usage: 1:15 Standby: 1:42 Battery: 77% :(
