This includes everything from camera &#8220;shake&#8221; on the new iPhone 14 Pro to excessive copy\/paste permissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most of the original iOS 16 bugs have been fixed by Apple, two weeks after iOS 16&#8217;s release, one key issue appears to remain &#8212; iPhone battery life is draining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several users took to Twitter, Reddit and TikTok to complain that the iOS 16 update appears to be affecting their iPhone battery life. Users have reported a &#8220;significant&#8221; drop in battery life on their iPhones after installing the new iOS 16 update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple initially mentioned that the haptic keyboard feature on iOS 16 could drain the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/smartphone-battery\/Apple\">iPhone&#8217;s battery<\/a><\/strong>. The Apple support page for the feature even mentions that &#8220;turning on keyboard haptics may affect iPhone battery life.&#8221; But even after turning off the feature, people are reportedly facing the same problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the day the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro were released, Apple prepared the iOS 16.0.1 update to fix initial issues, and then recently released a second iOS 16.0.2 update to fix bugs like camera shake and copy\/paste permissions on the iPhone 14 series. Unfortunately, the iOS 16.0.2 update doesn&#8217;t seem to help some users with battery life issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some heavy operating systems do cause a slight dip in battery life, which is normal to a certain extent. But this time, the battery drain issue appears to be serious and seems to be affecting many users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is there an iOS 16 battery drain fix?<br>According to user complaints, the affected iPhones appear to include the iPhone XR all the way up to the iPhone 13 series, although there may be others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple Support has been responding to some users asking them to try restarting the phone, or if that doesn&#8217;t work, they say users should do a restore. We also recommend trying turning off haptic keyboard feedback in Settings under Sounds &amp; Haptics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since iOS 16.0.2 hasn&#8217;t fixed the battery issue, we&#8217;re hoping for another patch update (iOS 16.0.3) to fix the battery issue, but haven&#8217;t seen any signs so far. iOS 16.1 second beta is here, and while it continues to change the battery percentage icon, there&#8217;s no word on it improving <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/smartphone-battery\/Apple\">iPhone battery<\/a><\/strong> life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Apple does bring a battery life fix to iOS 16.1, we probably won&#8217;t see it roll out until next month, possibly alongside iPad OS 16.1 and MacOS Ventura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to battery drain, Apple&#8217;s unresolved list of bugs includes a slow and slightly glitchy spotlight search, a CarPlay issue affecting the iPhone 14 Pro, and some flickering display issues that appear to be affecting low-bright iPhone displays. Hopefully these issues will also be quickly fixed in Apple&#8217;s next OS update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>>>>>>>>>>>>><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/smartphone-battery\/Apple\">iPhone battery<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since iOS 16 was rolled out to the public, the new software has had a rough start, with users complaining of multiple bugs.
