My 18 month old 13 mini is running 18.1 and has been off charge for a little over ten hours. I’ve barely used it today as I’ve been at my desk with my iPad and work Mac, but the battery is at 63%.
My year old iPad mini has been off charge for a couple of hours, during which I’ve been typing in a Pages document using a regular Logitech keyboard and mouse hooked up via dongle. The battery is at 58%.
Something ain’t right with the drain in 18.1.
I have been noticing my battery life being lower after the 18 and 18.0.1 update on the 15PM. It feels like I’m ending my day with less than 20% battery when before I was over 30% easily.
It still gets me through the day, but not as comfortably.
Could just be normal battery degradation.
My battery health has degraded over the year or so I’ve had the 15 PM, but it’s in normal range (89% with 272 charge cycles) and the change was noticed pretty immediately after upgrading to iOS 18.
Noticed similar on my 14 Pro, but at the same time - I assumed it was just my battery health/life degrading.
