What's the battery like on iOS 9 Beta 3? I had Beta 1 & 2 but downgraded because the battery life was just awful.
Battery life iOS 9 Beta 3
Hi!
Beta 2 had a (very) great Battery Life!
Beta 1 was full of Pain!
😝
Beta 3, we will see ...
🙂
LOL -- perhaps give the new beta more than one hour before asking that question!
That's exactly what I thought! I think the only answer you could get is:
"Battery life is terrible, I was at 100% before the update, and now my phone is dead. It is actually dead. The glass shattered, the battery self destructed, and I even got the Finder frowny face poking through the shattered remains of my iPhone."
Mine is great - expecting 4 days without charging...
+10 😁
THIS IS GREAT
I don't know... I think something is odd... 77% down to 26 in 5 hours... 2 of these 5 it was on airplane mode... I have a iPhone 6+
8 hours in and battery level is 68%. 🙂
Hours in use and standby? And what iPhone model? Hahahah
I've noticed a slight decrease in battery life with Beta 3 on my iPhone 6. Example last night around 11pm I had 85% battery. This morning when I woke up around 6:30am I had 75%. That is not what I was getting with Beta 2 ~3% decrease for the same time period. However with Beta 1 I lost more than 50% for the same time period. So long story short Beta 3 is better that Beta 1 but not as good as Beta 2 or iOS 8.4. Hope that make sense.
It would be extremely helpful to the community if you are experience a short battey life on beta 3 you also post what are top 3 apps that are eating up your battery. You shall be able to find it under Settings->Battery and scroll up a bit to see a list of apps. Touch any of those will give you more details like how much foreground/background consumption. Great utility to check what are the power eaters.

Beta 2 killed me on both phone & watch...I could actually watch the % drop like a stop watch! Happy to say that B3 has restored battery life on both devices back to pre beta config...hopeful that final release will see an overall increase in battery performance from 8.x 6+ 64gb
Phone seems fine, watch not so, goes in a couple of hours...
I was traveling with a poor intenet connection in my hotel and no decent wifi nearby. I needed the Watch beta, so I went to the local Apple store, and sat outside on a mall bench. My iPhone 6 was at 86%, when I arrived. I connected to the store wifi, then donwload and updated my watch. From 715pm till 838pm approx. 1 1/2 hours. Upon leaving my battery was at 64%.
Several notes: screen dimmed as much as possible, auto lock diabled, and browsing the web for a few minutes while the download occured, phone beta was installed via iTunes vs OTA, setup as a new device vs restore. No other apps installed (blank phone). Only device on the charger was the watch.
It was a major change over beta2 for me.
Is anyone here that person who uses Low Power Mode 24/7????? XD
