iOS 16.2 battery drain issue fix

To fix the iOS 16.2 battery drain issue, users should:

  • First, check to see if there’s another new update.
    • If there’s a problem with a recent patch, Apple can be quick to follow it up with an update targeting those issues. It’s worth a check.
  • Set the brightness mode to automatic.
    • Brightness can have a massive impact on battery life. If you don’t need the screen to be so bright, try Automatic to help provide a battery boost.
  • Disable AOD on iPhone 14 Pro.
    • The Always-On Display is cool, but turning it off saves a noticeable amount of battery life.
  • Make sure the phone’s Battery Health is high enough.
    • Head to Settings > Battery to check the Battery Health. Generally, users can expect a 5-10% drop in Battery Health per year of use.
  • Check to make sure there aren’t any apps sapping the battery.
    • Go to Settings > Battery to see which apps are using the most battery. Consider removing any that seem to be using a suspiciously large amount, especially in the background.
