iOS 27 battery life thread.

Still indexing after 9 days. iPhone Air, battery life is god awful so far. Getting worse by the day. Within 2 hours I go from 100% to 65%. As I said the battery health has gone from 100% to 99% during this indexing time after 225 charge cycles. And I'm having to put on the charger 1-2 times during the day now. Never had this issue before, but I do feel battery life on the Air has gotten worse every 26.x update and now 27 beta is the pinnacle of terrible battery life... Hopefully it gets better and we get the promised 10-12% better battery life as iOS 27 is promising (but doubt it)...

Where did they promise a 10-12% battery life improvement? That’d be a first I think.

Me too. Was it in one of the WWDC keynote slides bout common iOS bugs seen in iOS 26?

I can’t see it but I see two that are interesting: “Camera uses less power on Low Power Mode”

And “Improved battery insights”.

The first one is cool if true, the camera is very battery intensive and it has always been.

“Improved battery insights” though… the battery section in settings is just as useless as it was, right?

The battery insights page, yea that’s the one that I’m looking at that I said in iOS 26 battery life thread a couple of times that it ain’t makes sense to us.

I did see enhanced power efficiency in safari, which is the biggest battery eater of my iPhone usage. And power efficient personal hotspot but I don’t use that feature as much as I don’t tote my MacBook Pro outside the house as often as before.

iOS 27 beta 2 was released last night. Has anyone noticed if Spotlight indexing has finished, or if there are any changes to battery life? Ima give it 24 hrs to stabilize.

I feel like battery may have improved. I’ll know better later today as I’m going to let my phone get down below 10% and then plug it in to charge. With beta 1 when I did this, it would slow charge for like 10+ minutes. Under 5 watts it would pull. So slow that if I used my phone at same time, I’d lose battery percentage even though it was charging.

Which iPhone?

Which iPhone?

15 Pro Max. Just plugged my phone in while it was below 10% and it immediately started pulling 23 watts. So looks like that issue may have been fixed.
