Just imagine you'd be able to measure such things and processes that are running or not on a phone. If only perhaps something like Apple's Xcode had a developer tool like Instruments that would give you such insights. There is a lot going on even when idle and not in the user realm either.Don’t understand why Apple can’t report the status of its mysterious indexing. A lot of people use this as an excuse for poor battery life without any evidence.
My 16PM batt life is amazing but I had a 2+ y/o 12 Regular before this - my last “big” phone was the 8+ and 6s+ before that. All I can say is it’s great to be back to the big screen and big battery after my time with the 12. And that notch was several orders of magnitude more obtrusive than the pill cutout.
Apple really needs to take a year, pause the new products, new features, and give us a good ole fashioned Snow Leopard and iOS 12 update. Focus on fixes.
Your strategy is sensible. I can never resist upgrading to the 1.0 release, even though I know it’s going to be buggy and unoptimisedEvery year...
I have held off updating my iPhone 15 for just this reason. Battery life on iOS 17 is great - I have a charge limit set to 80% and I only really every top up my phone in the car (normally two 30 minute journeys per day). If I'm streaming a lot of music, I may also top up when working from home at my desk. Other than this, no overnight chatging is needed and I still rarely get below 20%. I use my phone a lot, but mostly for browsing, music & podcasts - little video or gaming.
I'll probably bite at iOS 18.1 and hope that the bug has been squashed.
Those of us who remember Snow Leopard know. That was wise move and so worth it.......Apple really needs to take a year, pause the new products, new features, and give us a good ole fashioned Snow Leopard and iOS 12 update. Focus on fixes.
yeah, like some others in the thread i saw this on a 14pro yesterday. the phone was very hot to the touch and burning battery like crazy. nothing really stood out in the battery pane... rebooting the phone fixed it. i don't think this had ever happened to me before with my 14pro across all the iOS versions i've used.
