Since updating to iOS 18, users have reported severe battery drain issues, which have not improved even after security patches. Users have noticed their battery percentage dropping significantly throughout the day, leading to increased reliance on power banks. Investigations into battery settings showed high consumption from active apps but no immediate remedy, as tweaks to settings like disabling the always-on display did not help. Ultimately, a deeper analysis indicated that the feature 'Apple Intelligence' might be the primary factor contributing to the high battery usage.
The battery drain has been relentless with iOS 18 updates, severely affecting the user experience and making power banks essential for daily use.
Disabling the iPhone's always-on display didn't improve battery life, highlighting that the issue is deeper than just screen settings.
Exploring the Battery section in settings revealed elevated usage by apps but ultimately pointed to 'Apple Intelligence' as the main culprit for the drain.
Despite attempts to manage settings and usage, the persistent battery drain means users are left continuously searching for charging options.
