Support Weekly iOS Battery Support Megathread

1 Upvotes

General advice for those concerned about their battery from the Support FAQ Wiki:

Battery health

Battery health depends on usage and a variety of other factors. It is normal to see a decrease in battery health by 7-10% per year, resulting in a battery health of 80-85% after 2 years. This number can fluctuate, remain the same, or decrease quickly over a small period and should not cause undue concern.

Apple recommend battery replacement when your device falls below 80% battery health if you notice reduced battery life. If it falls below 80% within the first year you may be eligable for a free battery replacement. It fails after your warranty, it's a $69-$89 USD replacement cost for a battery. Contact Apple Support here.

You can find more information about battery health and performance from Apple here.

You can check the cycles count with Coconut Battery for Mac or iCopyBot for Windows.

Battery life

Issues relating to battery life can be categorised in three ways:

  1. Normal battery life that is to be expected due to use

  2. Reduced battery life caused by a recent update, iOS indexing, an iOS bug, or a third-party application

  3. Reduced battery life, or other abnormalities such as overheating or sudden power-off, caused by device or battery aging

If you experience issues with your battery:

  1. Check your battery health. If it is below 80% or you are experiencing issues you suspect are related to device or battery age, see Apple Support.

  2. If you have a new or recently updated/restored device, wait a number of days for background process to complete. If you continue to have issues, wait for a further iOS update. If you are on iOS Beta, you can expect to have a decreased battery life.

  3. Review the advice below on maximising battery life

  4. Consider restoring your device.

  5. If issues persist, contact Apple Support.

Maximising battery life - the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged.

  • Use low power mode (This reduces mail fetch, turns off background app refresh and increases the auto lock timer)

  • Remove apps from background app refresh

  • Ensure auto lock is on

  • Turn off auto brightness and manually reduce brightness

  • Use dark mode if your device has an OLED display

  • Clearing background apps from the app switcher does not improve battery life

Maximising battery lifespan - the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced.

  • Avoid extreme temperatures

  • If you notice that your iPhone gets hot when charging, remove it from its case

  • Store your iPhone in a cool place, switched off, and half-charged if not using it for long periods - and charge it every 6 months when in storage

Discussion iOS has become unusable.

I’m on 17 Pro and it’s really annoying. I literally can’t change my data, only turn it either on or off. Videos don’t play in the iOS Photos app. Random crashes. If anyone from the iOS development team is here, please, I beg you. I don’t need features; let it just work. 😭

Support Music app shows wrong artwork when synced.

1 Upvotes

Using iPhone 18 Pro 27.2.1, when syncing ripped CD music it shows the wrong album artwork. It works with music purchased from iTunes, but as soon as I sync my own music, those purchased Music in the iPhone too start showing wrong artwork. I did submit bug report.

Syncing from two different MBP, macOS Golden Gate & Tahoe, same thing.

Things I tried:

  • Rebuilt music library (delete all songs, add all songs to library, then redownload artwork)

  • Sync and remove content, tried from two different MBPs.

  • Delete Music app & content on the iPhone / restart iPhone

  • Clear artwork cache ~/Library/caches/com.apple.Music

  • Get info metadata trick by selecting all songs adjusted volume and resync according to one of the reddit post

  • Syncing only selected playlist, not the entire library

  • mp3 with embedded artwork directly without iTunes

Both laptops when synced to my old iPhone 17 Pro Max shows correct album artwork, except in the 18 Pro. Not really sure what causes this.

Discussion IOS Update 27 and Listen Live?! Thoughts?

1 Upvotes

Someone shared this with me but I’m not sure of the real risk and concerns! Thoughts on Listen live and the recent IOS update?

The message?
“If you have an iPhone or iPad, I'd fix this pronto:
The recent Apple iOS 27 update automatically enables
"Live Listen" on Apple devices. This means iPhones and iPads with this update are by default listening to conversations around them.
Deactivate this feature by going to "Settings," then
"Accessibility," then "Audio/Visual"; select "Live Listen" and turn off "Remote Control."”

Curious on what this actually means, and the impact of either keeping it on or off!

Thanks

Antes sempre usei o Spotlight, eu abria alguns sites pesquisando diretamente nele, ou fazia pesquisas no Google através dele. Agora parece que o caminho tornou-se terrivelmente longo no iOS 27.

Support iPhone with 27.2.1

My overseas bank has updated their approval for transactions.
The app requires accepting an alphanumeric code that is probably 18 characters long.
The iPhone accepts the regular message but when I try to copy and paste it in their app I am never fast enough to do it.
When I call the bank they blame it on Apple.
And Apple blames it on the bank.
Suggestions please.
Thanks

Support How to factory reset an iPad?

0 Upvotes

I have two iPads: an M1 and an iPad mini 5th generation, and I forgot the passcode on both. I followed multiple instructions, but had no success.

I went into recovery mode and did both options: Reset and Update, but before it could complete the 11 GB file download, the iPad would restart and go back to asking for the passcode, and the iMac/Windows would lose its connection since the iPad had already restarted. I did this multiple times, and it's still the same.

As far as I remember, before the iOS 27 release, I had installed the latest software for both iPads—I don't see the option to reset the passcode anywhere on the screen, other than the message that I have hundreds of hours to wait to unlock the iPad.

Discussion Anyone else having the Siri App Suggestions widget not work correctly?

1 Upvotes

It does suggest some apps, but when I have most apps with the toggle “suggest apps” on, they just don’t appear, and I use these apps most of the time.

Some games, or some important apps, don’t appear as a suggested app when I use them frequently.

I’m on the latest iOS version of iOS 27 and I don’t know if this is a bug or what.

I think that it used to work before.

Also, smart stacks (full of different widgets on the home screen) don’t automatically rotate widgets per indicators.

The shortcut suggestions widget also doesn’t take into account all apps on my phone to then suggest relevant shortcuts. It only shows shortcuts for some apps, not all of them, and the shortcuts are very few, like Messages app and web browser.

1 Upvotes

iPhone 13 on 27.2.1 here. The stock mail widget doesn't seem to want to update at all. Despite getting multiple emails a day, the widget isn't displaying anything recent. (Screenshot edited for content, not dates)

The emails it shows appear to be a random selection for this days, not the last two received.

Is there a way to have it update more frequently?
