Users complain about iPhone battery life on iOS 13.5.1

A large number of iOS users running version 13.5.1 are experiencing battery issues. The battery drains significantly faster than usual, and this seems to affect both the iPhone and the iPad. Apple is said to have fixed the issues in iOS 13.6, which is still in beta.

The issues are reported on Apple’s community forums, among others; Due to the large number of responses, it seems that many users suffer from a rapidly draining battery where the housing becomes warm, although it is not possible to determine exactly how big the problems are.

It seems that iPhones and iPads with iOS 13.5.1 are suffering from a battery drain where apps in the background demand more from the battery than usual. Some users report that turning off background refresh of applications helps to limit battery drain. Other users say that turning off dark mode can help.

It is probably a software bug in iOS 13.5.1. Apple released this version of the mobile operating system last month to make the Unc0ver jailbreak impossible. In the beta for the upcoming iOS version 13.6, the problems with the battery drain are said to have been addressed.
