iPhone XS iPhone XS battery life

[BigDO]

Is anyone else suffering from really bad battery life on the iPhone XS after the iOS 13 update?

My usage habits are exactly the same, yet I have lost ~1hr SOT per day.

Mail is my main suspect, showing ~25% utilisation per day - I don't remember it being this high.

iOS 13 was the main reason why I upgraded from the XS to 11Pro. Battery was brutal for me on the XS too.

What is your battery health showing? All apps up to date?

Crossed my mind too, but it would make me feel a little bit silly to do that.

The iOS mail app was also causing a lot of battery drain on my XS Max. Showed 48% in background use ...18+ hours. I turned off (including iCloud) “Push”; switched to “Fetch” and it stopped. After a day or so I put all back to “Push”, and mail currently shows 3% - all on screen time...no background.

Just curious, how many hours of screen-on time are you getting on iOS 13?

What does Settings (under Battery) show is using your battery?

Same with me. Mail is especially high.

Ditched my Xs because of the battery life.

Just under 5hr. Used to be just under 6hr.

Mail is the highest user. However, it was on iOS 12 too - I just used to get more SOT.

I guess I could also dump the Xs and get the 11 Pro but I’d feel like a sheep doing that.

Less than 5%.

My battery life has been pretty good on my XS Max. But I do top ups due to rolling blackouts where I am. Average about 7hours SOT.

I have had to disable Push for Mail - this is what is causing rapid battery drain.

Do you now use Fetch automatically? How much battery improvement have you seen now?

Hope this helps.

I've set it to Manual for now. Usage by Mail dropped from 25% to 15%.
