The main topic is excessive battery drain caused by ads in webpages but anything that causes the battery to drain quickly is using a lot of power - which creates excessive heat too.
MacRumors Site/Forums Causing Battery Drain?
Has anyone else noticed their battery draining rather quickly when browsing MacRumors on their iPad (possibly iPhone and/or Mac too)? I got the new iPad Pro and thought it was odd that my battery was draining quicker than usual. It wasn't until I came across this thread that I realized maybe it...

Honestly I installed the ad blocker to get rid of ads from websites like YouTube and this website. I have always used an ad blocker and install one by default.
I was getting the heat in the same area on two different iPhone 13 pro max . with my current one ( replaced due to screen issue ) I pinpointed the heat generated when using safari and browsing Amazon Smile. My thread about that is under the forum iphone help and support subsection. I believe it’s been resolved now.
This is a common situation on all 11-12-13 machines, when using any browser. (when it's not hot, it may be due to the ios code with some ads on the conflicting page causing the CPU to increase)
Fix:
- When it's hot, get out and back in
- Surfing the web, always touching the back, if it's hot, get out immediately.
- Use Tapatalk to replace the browser when entering the forum.

Your heat issue has been resolved by turning off iCloud for Safari? Are you using an ad blocker right now?
I did a few things. Cleared history and website data within Safari settings and also ceased using iCloud for Safari. Using AdGuard general option only.
All seems good now. I first disabled iCloud and cleared website date. Used it like this for a few days and then installed AdGuard. So far so good.
I have not had iCloud for Safari enabled. Maybe I will try and enable it and see what happens. Heck I am a pro now at doing Rrcovery Mode, I have done it 3 times already since owning the phone. The first 2 times was related to an issue I was having with Music auto playing when I connected to CarPlay. The second Recovery Mode resolved that issue. The third time was to resolve the Music app running in the background for a few minutes multiple times a day, I had that CarPlay issue happening to me since iOS 12. That one was driving batty not knowing how to resolve it. Seems all good now.
He said batty 🤣👍🏼 Made me chuckle, I ain’t heard that in years. I thought you said you didn’t have heating problems ?
How does recovery mode work in relation to data stored restoring data once device is completely wiped clean ? I’m assuming that’s what the DFU is ? I’ve never done that before. But then again prior to the iPhone 12 PM and this IPhone 13 PM my last encounter with iPhones was the 4s years ago.
I don’t have a heating issue. I have had my share of issues with iOS 15, able to overcome them all so far. Now that I think about it I did do one DFU. I think something gets corrupted, maybe a plist file and restoring the OS is the best way to resolve the issue. The good news I found is that doing something like a DFU or Recovery Mode is fairly quick to do.
