However, many users reported that after upgrading to iOS 16, the iPhone's has a significant decrease in battery life and has a significant decrease in battery life. Based on personal experience and the official help document of Apple , let’s talk about why will consume more power after upgrading iOS 16 , and the corresponding solution .
software update
When Apple launches a new system, third-party software often needs to update the version of to be compatible with and adapt to the new version of the system. Otherwise, will crash and some functions of cannot use .
After the user updates the system, if does not enable software to automatically update, it is very likely that will have software incompatible with , cannot open, crash, etc.
. For users who enable automatic update software with , the App Store will silently download the new version of of the upgrade software in the background. This process will increase the power consumption and heat generation of on the mobile phone. The corresponding solution for
is that after upgrading the system, you can temporarily manually close the software and automatically update after . If you encounter the problem of software crash, manually enter the App Store to update the software ; then you can connect to the charger before going to bed or other to not use the phone , connect to the charger, automatically update the software to turn on , so that the software can keep the latest version.
App background activity
According to Apple's official support documents, after updating the system (software update), the built-in apps such as photos will be re-indexed or re-analyzing data .
For example, the new "repeated project" function added after upgrading to iOS 16 will be reanalyzed, classified, etc. for photos in the background . This is also the reason why some users have just upgraded in , and cannot see the "repeated project" function, and the mobile has a fever and and the battery life of decreases.
This process is automatically performed by after the system update is completed. User cannot modify . Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade the system to before bedtime/night or perform when you do not need to use your phone for a period of time; and if you accidentally upgrade the system, it is recommended to turn on the low-battery mode after the upgrade is completed. The system will automatically restrict the background activity of , and , and , can also alleviate .
Siri is the same as searching for
. After the system update is completed, the focus search function of iOS 16 will also perform the rebuild index operation .
iOS 16 new focus search supports searching for more image results from information, files and other apps on the home screen, assuming that requires the system to create index in the background in advance. The more software installed in
, the larger the amount of data, the longer the background running of will last longer , and it is easier for users to feel the problem of heating and battery life after upgrading the system.
Therefore, after updating the system, it is best to turn off the settings such as " display Appp in search" under different software in "Setting Siri and Search".
Charging
Before the system is updated, it is required to connect iPhone to the power supply and the power is greater than 50%. However, alone usually charges (especially wireless charging) will have a certain amount of heat . When the mobile phone is charged, the heating is superimposed and the system is updated, the hardware operates at high speed to heat , and the user's perception will be more obvious.
Therefore, when updating the phone, recommends using wired charging , and temporarily remove mobile phone case . If conditions permit, you can also install a heat sink back clip.
new function
After upgrading the new system, it often brings some new functions. After the lock screen wallpaper in iOS 16 is updated, the support for the lock screen widget of has been added, which will also increase the power consumption of ; the new input method vibration feedback added to iOS 16 is because needs to call the vibration motor , which will also affect the battery life of to a certain extent.
Therefore, after upgrading the system, in the early stage can be properly turned off , or the new function can be reduced to reduce heating and power consumption.
Mobile phone performance and battery health
Every year, the new version of iOS will limit the upgradeable mobile phone models, and iOS 16 is no exception. This is mainly because the old iPhones have older hardware such as processors, and may not be able to support the new iOS system from . Even after upgrading, it can also cause to not keep up with , which will cause mobile phone to heat up and battery life to decrease .
so For some old models , do not upgrade unless necessary. The same is true for the battery health of
battery health. The lithium batteries used by iPhone all have a certain service life , and the battery life of the mobile phone will gradually be shortened due to the lithium battery life.
summary
system update within a period of time after the system update is completed, because a series of activities in the backend of system may make the mobile phone's heat larger and the battery life will decrease . This period of time may last for 48 hours or even longer .
Of course, users can also choose before going to bed or other times when they do not need to use their phones and computers. In addition, turning on the low-battery mode, setting on the off part, temporarily taking the mobile phone case, etc. can effectively alleviate the fever problem of iPhone just after upgrading the system.
