As often, iPhone users deplore a plummeting autonomy after migrating to the new iOS.

It’s been two weeks since some people have had serious battery problems with their terminal under iOS 16.

Autonomy issues with iOS 16?

We’ve been able to enjoy the brand new iOS 16 for a few weeks now. While it’s onboard by default on all iPhone 14s, Apple’s operating system is also compatible with many terminals already in circulation. It is indeed compatible with the second generation iPhone SE as well as the iPhone 8 and all later models.

However, several users have noticed a drop in battery life on their iPhone since migrating to iOS 16. While a temporary drop in battery life is normal after a software update, the software update seems to drag on forever. quite abnormal…

A “normal” reduced autonomy, but…

Indeed, after a major software update, a smartphone may experience a drop in battery life for a few days. This is because its system is busy restoring various settings in the background, which consumes power. This state is temporary, however, and the phone should regain its former ardor after a few days.

In the case of iOS 16, it would seem that this same concern for autonomy persists more than two weeks after the update of certain iPhones. Thus, many are those to trace (via forums or social networks) a very marked decrease in autonomy since the transition to iOS 16.

At the moment, Apple has not issued the slightest comment on this subject, and the iOS updates currently in preparation on the side of the American firm do not seem to integrate any optimization of autonomy. To be continued.

Recall that already last year, version 15.4 of iOS was suspected of affecting the autonomy of the iPhone. In recent years, each new version of the operating system seems to cause reduced autonomy for some iPhone owners. A “classic”, some would say.
