    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.

      I’ve used it since the developer beta, and personally I like it at this point. Even though there are some things that are weird.

      16 Pro max here. It is not a significant problem.

      I started hating photos but have come around a bit.

    I haven’t upgraded my 14p yet due to all the bugs I’ve heard about in iOS 18. Also that the new photos app is a dumpster fire of changes nobody asked for.

    I have been noticing my battery life being lower after the 18 and 18.0.1 update on the 15PM. It feels like I’m ending my day with less than 20% battery when before I was over 30% easily.

    It still gets me through the day, but not as comfortably.

        My battery health has degraded over the year or so I’ve had the 15 PM, but it’s in normal range (89% with 272 charge cycles) and the change was noticed pretty immediately after upgrading to iOS 18.

    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.

      My 16p was dead by noon on 18.1 until the recent beta 7. Now it’s finally holding a charge through about 7pm when it hits 20%.

      (I get up and take it off the charger at 5:30a)

        Damn! I’m on 18.0.1 and my 16 Pro Max is at 75% when I’m done with work, listening to podcasts, watching videos, and browsing the internet all day.

    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!

    18.0.1 seems to have fixed my battery issues on a 16p. My Watch Ultra was losing 75% of its charge over the course of a day until the 11.0.1 update. That seems to have returned it to normal. I don’t understand how this keeps happening with version updates, though. Having complete control of the hardware and a small number of models to test for should completely eliminate this kind of issue through basic testing.

    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.

    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.

      Unfamiliar with Apple stuff; what does backing up, upgrading, then downgrading and restoring do? What benefit do you gain over simply not updating?

        Just want to see what the fuss is with the new ios. That is it. Nothing major. The thing is with new ios version, there’s always something weird going on. Such as battery drain, weird graphical bug, glitch etc.

        That is why i usually do it when im bored and have some time to spare. If i like it, l stay on the new version, If i dont like the new version, ill downgrade and block apple domain so dont get the update nagging. Ill wait until next major version like 18.1 or 18.2 then ill see how it goes.

        Its way different than stock android. With iphone, just a couple of click and an hour waiting and im good to go. Its like restoring an image backup. No need to setup each app, log into app, change some settings etc.

    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.
