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.

Now I changed to "2g" to see what happens, and no "battery saving moded" enabled. I think it definitely have to do with the mobile data modes.. and something happening when enabled.. and maybe 3G/4G..
My Phone is connected to Wifi and mobile data is set to 2G. This is not really better in this case. Now the battery is by 72%.
Well, enabling mobile data and 2G and the battery starts to drain again.. I can clearly see a difference here now..
Try disabling mobile data completely and see if there's a difference for you too.
Well.. I now have the phone with with Autolock disabled so the display is on the whole time and Mobile data completely disabled and there's no drain on the battery. It runs well and it doesn't get got at all.. So yeah.. on at lest my phone it's definitely mobile data that is the issue behind the battery drain, wonder what it does differently to running on Wi-Fi, haven't even enabled battery saving mode either and still no drain 🙂
So all I have to do now is use my 4G mobile router instead and connect my iPhone to it when on the train to work 😝 And the battery will probably last all day without any issues.. 🙂
I've found that turning off everything in search in the settings area seems to help tremendously. I haven't had a chance to narrow down exactly which toggle is responsible for the drain, but I'm actually able to charge my device from a USB port now.
I am checking it out, have enabled 4G and will go through them one by one, start with disabling all and enable the Siri stuff. Might be something in there that uses the mobile data and somehow bugs out totally.. But I'll know soon enough 🙂 Thanks for the tip.
Mine is worse. I lost 35% in 2 hours 55 minutes. I tried to create a ticket but I couldnt get battery logs to add.
Exactly. Not all of us can fully test our apps while plugged into the wall.
I too have been experiencing the same very fast battery drain that you are all talking about. I have an iPhone 6 16GB. I just recently re-install iOS 9 right over my previous iOS 9. Since doing this my battery life experience has greatly improved. I can't exactly say that things are back to normal but very much better than before I re-updated. I did try re-installing iOS 8.3, restoring from backup and then upgrading to iOS 9. 1st and 2nd time same results, battery life out of control. Now that I just updated right on top of iOS 9 and things have greatly improved. If things change I will re-post. Good Luck!!!
I've noticed shocking heat whilst downloading apps - never done this before. Does literally feel like the phone is ready to go on fire!
What exactly do you mean with updated on top of iOS 9? Are you talking about installing the same Beta over an existing Beta?
Thanks for clarifying 😉.
Yes, that is exactly what I did.
