Apple did not comment on these battery problems underlined by users. The firm has just deployed iOS 16.0.2 to the public but has not mentioned corrective on this subject.

What we know despite everything: when you install a major update like iOS 16 on your iPhone, tasks are carried out in the background, especially for the indexing of files, photos and applications. All these operations carried out in the background for iOS 16 can take several days and are energy-consuming.

If everything is going well, your battery problems should not last too long after installing the update. Once the adjustments made for the proper functioning of iOS 16, you should find the usual performance of your battery life.

Your iPhone is relieving too quickly ? Disable this new function of iOS 16

Among the news introduced by iOS 16, one of them could decrease the autonomy of your iPhone. It is not a bug, but simply an Apple warning on the consequences of using a feature linked to the phone keyboard.

The new features of a bone generally improve the user experience. But some functions can also sometimes pose some problems. This is the case with the new haptic return function of the iPhone keyboard.

An option that can decrease the autonomy of your iPhone

iOS 16 brings its share of new features, but also bugs of all kinds that Apple strives to correct by deploying minor updates on the iPhone concerned. Last month, the company solved the camera problem which vibrated by deploying the update 16.0.2 of its mobile operating system.

Other problems can be caused by features available on all iPhone, but that users can choose to activate. This is the case of the sounds and vibrations of the keyboard which, according to the official support page of Apple, “Can affect the battery life of your iPhone. »»

Concretely, this feature allows you to feel a small vibration and/or sound each time you type on a key on the keyboard. A practical function, for accessibility in particular, which would have consequences on the life of the battery. Unfortunately, passing your iPhone in energy saving mode would not deactivate this functionality.

A variable impact on the battery

Not all iPhone users under iOS 16 are not affected in the same way. Some see no significant difference in the endurance of their phone, when others can lose up to 10 or 15 % of battery when they do not use their iPhone and the haptic return is activated.

A significant fall in the battery which should have less impact on the most recent iPhone models. Indeed, the iPhone 14 are today the most enduring smartphones on the market, as we have pointed out in our top 5 smartphones with the best autonomy.

If you notice that your iPhone is discharging faster than usual, activation of haptic return could be involved. To deactivate the sound and/or vibrations of the keyboard, go to the “Settings” application of your phone, then in “Sound and Vibrations> Return Keyboard”.

This Monday, October 24, marks the start of the deployment of iOS 16.1. Beyond the correction of minor bugs, Apple will take advantage of it to introduce five new features. We will cite for example the new battery indicator and the display of live activities. Unfortunately, one of the most interesting features will not be available in France.
