| Mar 10, 2021 at 12:23 | comment | added | Tetsujin | Do you have any government covid test & trace type app operational, or even just the pref switched on? That eats battery for breakfast. I had to disable mine, UK, because it would kill my battery in half a day, down from a day & a half or more, if i didn't use the phone. Settings>Exposure Notifications. | |
| Mar 9, 2021 at 15:34 | comment | added | user2153235 | Thanks for that info, Alexander and Tetsujin. I'm not sure what the explanation is then. I subjectively (but quite noticeably) see charge drop a lot faster if I don't banish two very specific apps: Google Maps and the camera. | |

| Mar 9, 2021 at 14:02 | comment | added | Alexander | "banishing them from operation when I'm done" Software engineer weighing in. This almost certainly makes battery performance worse. | |
| Mar 9, 2021 at 7:17 | comment | added | Tetsujin | Location tracking is done by iOS, not any app. The app just asks the OS where you are. | |
| Mar 8, 2021 at 22:14 | comment | added | user2153235 | @Logarr: I hardly use the smartphone, so to me, it's a worthwhile tradeoff to incur the rare restarting of apps for the long periods that I'm assured that nothing is running. But what you say is definitely informative. However, I find it odd that the battery depletes so quickly if I don't banish Camera or Google Maps. At least for the latter, I suspect that location tracking might still be more active even after a trip is done. | |

@Tetsujin: I see Peak Performance Capability now, but there is no button to enable it. This is probably just as well, as it sounds like I want disabled.

A suspended app does nothing, unless it's one of the few that can actively play media while not open. It takes more power to fully re-open an app than it does to resume a suspended one. | |

| Mar 8, 2021 at 15:36 | comment | added | Tetsujin | It's not 'low power mode' it's 'Peak Performance Capability' in Settings/Battery/Battery Health. Once switched on it cannot be switched off. | |
| Mar 8, 2021 at 15:08 | comment | added | user2153235 | The thing is, I'm swapping in a battery after the Nth year (3rd maybe) of the phone, so for that reason alone, I expected to see a marked improvement rather than a noticeable worsening. About the Low Power Mode (under the Battery settings, if I understood you right), that's supposed to reduce battery usage, and I always enable it. It wouldn't explain a change in battery charge performance in the opposite direction of what one would normally expect. | |
| Mar 8, 2021 at 14:38 | comment | added | Tetsujin | I had the battery changed on my 6S as part of that scheme. I never did think it got any better than before they swapped it. There's a 'low power switch' in Settings that cannot be reverted once switched on unless you completely wipe the device. I've always blamed that. | |

| Mar 8, 2021 at 13:17 | comment | added | nohillside♦ | When I get a new battery from the local Apple Store a few months ago they told me to come back if I see any strange behaviour after the change. MIght be helpful to try this. | |
