Apple Says iOS 16's New Haptic Keyboard Option Might Affect Battery Life

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Oh well, It's worth it and I love this feature. Overrated!

Combustion cars burn gas…

Your turn, Apple.

 

[coolfactor]

I thought this feature already existed long ago? Feels strange to hear that's just newly-added.

Breaking: using your phone depletes battery life.

 

[dms_91]

Oh please. It’s minuscule. Just like the AOD.

I turned it on right away and LOVE it. The 14 Pro gets excellent battery life I must say.

Running the vibration motor all the time uses power. I'm shocked!

 

[Séamus Boyle]

No matter what I do, keyboard settings I change, I don’t feel any haptics when typing.

 

[SenorWhyMe]

what I really want is apple to add a number row options already Jesus

I just turned it off after having it enabled for a week and now it feels weird.

No matter what I do, keyboard settings I change, I don’t feel any haptics when typing.

Mine didn’t work at first either. I had to restart the phone after turning it on.

As everyone has pointed out, this is obvious. There’s not much use in them saying this without giving some indication of how much, though.

They might as well point out that leaving sounds on consumes energy, and receiving messages, and connecting to the cell network, etc.

 

[sdwaltz]

Love it. Don't care.

 

[terrapinjess]

Feeling haptic. Might delete later.

your running a little motor inside your phone to cause the vibration so of course is going to use more battery

The most durable component is the haptic feedback motor. By enabling this feature it increases the rate of failure and therefore the upgrade cycles it needs in the future for iPhone. This feature will be enabled by default in the future.

I wonder why they didn’t they say this about turning on vibrations overall. 🤔🧐

Mine didn’t work at first either. I had to restart the phone after turning it on.

Thanks but I’ve done that and still nothing. Weird!

I found out that you need to turn your vibrator on 😉

 

[miamialley]

I'm not turning off the feature to save 0.5 - 1.0% battery life each day. I love haptic feedback ever single having a Samsung Galaxy.

 

[Abazigal]

My 13 pro max has battery to burn. So no real loss (yet).

 

[JosephAW]

Found it distracting and turned it off

 

[wowotoe]

WARNING! Turning on your phone will drain battery. Please power off your phone and lock it in the drawer to get maximum batter life.

 

[helloboo]

does the haptic feedback feature has a low-power mode? LOL

 

[scrapesleon]

I’ve been using that feature for 2 days now and my battery still the same usage
