iOS 16 has been available for just about two weeks, and users are continuing to complain that the update has destroyed their iPhone’s battery life.

While a temporary hit to battery life is normal after a software update, something different seems to be going on this time around, with iPhone users still complaining two weeks later….

When you update your iPhone to a new version of iOS, there’s usually a temporary hit to your battery life immediately after installing that update.

In general, this leads to a flood of battery life complaints immediately after a new software version is released.

This year, however, the complaints have not subsided and many users are convinced that iOS 16 has completely destroyed their iPhone’s battery life.

These users all say that their iPhone battery life has taken a significant hit since installing iOS 16 two weeks ago.

And of course, there are a number of conspiracy theories about Apple purposefully reducing battery life on older iPhones to drive iPhone 14 sales.

In a poll of 9to5Mac readers last week, 63% of iPhone users said their battery life is worse after installing iOS 16.

Apple hasn’t yet commented on these battery life concerns from iOS 16 users.
