iPhone 11 iOS 13.6.1 battery drain issue

[muhle]

I was getting over 7 hours of SOT battery life on my iPhone 11 (battery health is 100%), but since updating to 13.6.1 a few days ago I'm getting less than 5 hours of SOT.
Also, the battery drains in a weird manner. For example, it jumps from 22% to 20%, then after a few min of use jumps down to 18%.
Anyone else having this issue with the latest update?

Yup I noticed it too on my iPhone 7 with 100% battery life left.

It would literally drop 2-3% in a span of 10 mins without any action.

I erased everything and reformatted and it seems to fix the issue

Same here.
From 20% to 0 just for 3 minutes when i use phone call.

I'm seeing this issue on my 11 Pro Max also, excessive battery drain and the phone heats up. The only solutions I've seen so far are either resetting all your settings, or wiping your phone and restoring from a backup

Yup that’s what I did too.

Haven’t had any of these issues on my 11 Pro Max. Maybe your phone is still indexing after the update?

It’s 22:00 here where I am and I am still on 52% battery.

Check your battery stays, there may be an app going rogue.

Yeah, I usually end up updating without getting any problems like 99% of the time but this time even I noticed a decrease in battery life.

I did the wiping phone and then restoring from backup on iTunes and it seems to have helped some.

I believe apple is puling a fast one again. iPhone 12 is going to come out soon, and as we know the current generation iPhones have had the best battery life ever.
Also, the fact that the upcoming iPhones come with smaller batteries, apple is probabely reducing battery life of the iPhone 11 line because obviously iPhone 11 can't have battery battery life than iPhone 12!

Me too: Today 75 to 4% in 12 Minutes on an SE 1 while using Facetime. I checked it twice, couldn't believe my eyes. A few days ago it lost about 40% in maybe 10 Minutes while taking some short videos. It even didn't get hot, very strange.

Same here. Noticed this on my 2020 se. I almost always end my work day (5pm) and have about 48-54% left ending the day at around 20% before charging overnight. Yesterday at a little after 12pm my se was at 18%. Charged it to about 50% and it lasted through the rest of my normal day. Today, it’s holding steady at 65%.

Had this issue, simply powering it off and on seemed to fix it for me.

And regarding the comment regarding Apple doing this just because new phones are due out... rubbish. It’s not widespread, or would make the news it’s simply a minor issue with an update that Apple know will be updated again with iOS 14 in a short while.

Here's a screenshot, my SE1 lost 70% in 13 Minutes of Facetime (it went down to 4%, you can't see that on the battery monitor) I guess it's related to the camera as similar drops occur when taking a video.

Once more, draining completely to 1% within, maybe, 90 min. Activity: listening to music over Earpods Pro. No camera used. 🤬
