Some iPhone users are complaining about the reduction in battery life they have been experiencing lately.
If you’ve noticed a drop in the battery life of your iPhone lately, you can probably blame one of two things-both software-related. If you joined the iOS 18 beta program, a decline in battery life is normal. I’ve personally seen the battery life of my iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 18.1 beta 5 take a huge beating. On the other hand, I can use the Apple Intelligence features that Apple has released with the iOS 18.1 beta. I am looking forward to eventually returning to the stable iOS path and will hopefully get my long battery life back when I do.
The other reason that your iPhone battery life might be declining has to do with the release of iOS 18. According to Apple’s own support page, „If you notice that your battery life has decreased after updating your iPhone, wait a few days and then check again.
