how is your battery life on ios 9.3?

[Freakonomics101]

update: still sucks and i dont know why also my usage and standby is way too close together. to top it all off my Apple Watch battery died after an hour today

In my experience, the one thing that was running in the background is no longer running. I'm not sure what it was, but it's gone, for now. I just reset all settings and did a hard reset days later. Ever since then, I've been seeing normal usage once again.

I've been getting around 3 hours of usage time before having to plug in. Keep in mind this phone currently has no sim installed, and is only used while on wifi...so there's no cellular drain whatsoever. Push is off, all system location services off, apps only use location when open, and background app refresh off. The most I've ever gotten out of any iOS 9 beta or final on my iPhone 6 has been four hours...five at a stretch.

My battery life is the same, if not a tad better.

Mine is good as always no changes 6s+

On 9.3 it's worse than 9.2.1 / 6s+ .

My battery life on my 6s is not so special. I think tomorrow I'll do a restore, maybe it helps? I had installed the beta update via iTunes, but about the 'normal' update and not restore function.

With iOS 9.2.(1) I came on about 8 hours use per day.

Sorry but I'm not really seeing a difference in battery on iOS 9.3

I see a decrease in battery as of PB1. My 6s+ used to last nearly two days on light/average use. Now I feel like I'm back to having my 5s again.

I'm not terribly excited about mine. I'll reset all settings and hopefully that will fix it.

Battery life is relative to the apps you use, some apps like WhatsApp will use alot more battery power

That doesn't really fix it. I get about 5-7 hours of usage on a single charge vs what I used to get (10-11).

i blame night mode and ive noticed my iPhone is getting warmer.

ps i know its beta

I do not enable battery percentage. It decreases my anxiety levels. I charge my 6S Plus every night. But even after my moderate to heavy usage around 40-50% is always there at bedtime.

But I do believe that 9.3 B1 is consuming slightly more battery.

Your phone is getting warmer or your screen is getting warmer? Decide!

Worse than 9.2

 

[tbaer]

My battery lasts less and phone is getting warmer as well. Heat means cpu cycles so something is eating up battery. Of course it could be an app not optimized for 9.3. As always there is the possibility of that with betas.

i dont believe the .x updates will change the battery life of the devices by 20%+. everything lower than that is sort of negligent to me.

A vast majority of macrumors' are people who crave improvement, even if the improvement isnt there. they will persduade themselves there is some sort of improvement whether it be battery life, speed, responsiveness etc.

The last clear example of an actual noticeable performance boost i have personally noticed would be updating to Snow Leopard. Damn that thing was fast.

.x updates on iOS.. wow 1.2% speed increase. stand back haha

When i got my iphone 6s, i used it until it shuted down itself, then charge it to full, i did good or no? Now after 2 months i go to bed with 100% battery, in the morning its 94-93%. Any advice?

 

[HankHowdy]

Amazing. Sammy 6S Plus.

 

[XTheLancerX]

Mine has been the same with 9.3, 9.2, 9.1, 9.0.2, 9.0.1, 9.0... Which all has been roughly similar to iOS 8.4.1 or maybe a little worse.

 

[bbrks]

OK, please don't throw stones at me, I know I didn't use it to much, but this is just impressive . It's iPhone 6 btw

I take my phone off at 6AM when I leave the house and with Streaming music and playing CC though out. I work off my phone all day and I don't get to 20% till 7 PM and I don't put it on the Charger till 10 PM when I go to sleep

 

[jtwlbz]

Battery is worse tho dont want to go back to 9.2 since dont want to give up night shift

 

[XTheLancerX]

iPhone 6. Tod was a more heavy day, LTE and higher brightness/some games until about 30% when it went back down to more normal usage on wifi, lower brightness. Also listened to a lot more music than I usually would, so. Oh and I was on power saver mode (not even convinced it does anything) all day so considering everything, not outstanding lol.
