No one here works for Apple. We are all other end-users. Apple does not share its scheduling with us.


If you have an issue, you can report it to an Apple employee with this:


Feedback - iPhone - Apple


or contacting Apple support.

Not experiencing any abnormal battery drain issue. Maybe check your apps that are draining the battery and remove the high consumers to compare your results.


If you have Social Media apps, then absolutely they will be draining your battery in the background, even when you are not using the app. That is how they make their money to sell your usage/activities, while letting you use their apps for free. App usage of the battery is controlled by the Developer, but you can see how much they are using to make a determination if that is acceptable to you. Only the developer can update their app for any battery improvements or resolve bugs in their apps. Meta apps are the worst as far as bugs and battery drain.


If you want to further troubleshoot your issue, then there are 3 things we would need:

  • What is your Battery Health at Settings > Battery > Battery Health?
  • Post the Screenshot of the 2 battery graphs and the top 5 apps consuming your battery at Settings > Battery > View All Usage. I recommend selecting yesterday in the daily graph, so the app usage will reflect a full days use of data.
  • When did you last update and what version was that? Background indexing of the files is being performed for about 5-7 days after an update and documented by Apple where along with battery drain, you should expect increased heat and some UI lag during this time. It is best to charge your phone all night, every night during this time to allow those background processes to complete quicker.

How do you know that Apple has even planned a "fix" for anything? What is your source?


As you know, we are all users here on this site......just like you. None of us have any idea what Apple might be planning to do.


Anything that you might have "heard" in this regard is either rumor or speculation.

When you contacted Apple regarding “your” battery issue, what was their response? Have you followed up with them on their suggestions?
