Apple has received a ton of praise this year over good battery life, but it seems that the company has broken it with the new update 13.1.3 which was officially pushed out. Apple has yet to release an official statement, but the issue appears to be affecting a variety of models –from the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
iOS 13 software update was rolled out last month and with it came new cool features such as picture editing, menstrual tracking and improved privacy features, it has also come along with a few bugs. Countless users are reporting major battery depletion after downloading the update with some claiming their phones which were 100% full drained to 35% in 30 mins on slow use with the devices heating up while charging. here are some tweets from users to Apple support.

@AppleSupport ever since the iOS 13 update my XR has been dying so much faster. Thank you again for having me spend hundreds of dollars for this incredible battery life, only to have it go to shit with the first update…. thank you.

@Apple @AppleSupport should probably take a look at iOS 13 a bit closer. 25 mins and 39% of my battery gone. It’s not a battery percentage, its a countdown timer… pic.twitter.com/SnjRFKGbS6

If you are still on iOS 12, stay away from that upgrade button. If you’ve already updated your iPhone, you may want to switch to Dark Mode until a solution is found – a YouTuber found the feature increase battery life by 30 percent.
