Friend of mine with her 14 Pro is having major battery issues, my 15 is not too bad.
But yeah she HATES the photos app with a fiery passion.
Glad I’m not the only one with an intense dislike of Photos. I can’t see any upside.
16 Pro max here. It is not a significant problem.
I started hating photos but have come around a bit.
I’m on the 18.1 Beta and battery life on my 16 Pro is better than it ever was on my 13 Pro before.
Should’ve bought the iPhone 17 Pro, duh
/s
here we go again…
exactly this happens with every new ios.
exactly
My 18 month old 13 mini is running 18.1 and has been off charge for a little over ten hours. I’ve barely used it today as I’ve been at my desk with my iPad and work Mac, but the battery is at 63%.
My year old iPad mini has been off charge for a couple of hours, during which I’ve been typing in a Pages document using a regular Logitech keyboard and mouse hooked up via dongle. The battery is at 58%.
Something ain’t right with the drain in 18.1.
I have not noticed anything but then again I’m coming to iPhone 16 from XS that had a battery replaced once already and probably would have to replace it again before it was usable again hah.
I’ve had crazy battery luck. My XS Max I just replaced ran from 8AM-6PM with constant use before it would die. Original battery!
A new OS release is the worst time to complain about battery life.
There are tons of background tasks, indexing and AI things happening in the background that users are unaware of.
Give it a few weeks to index and optimize and see how it runs.
It has been a yearly tradition for me. Every year ill make a full backup and upgrade to latest ios. After a week, i do a full restore to previous ios and block apple software update domain.
This year i didnt even update to 18. Straight to blocking apple domain. Its the same shit every year.
