Sorry for the confusion. I went from ios9 to 10.2. Half as long is a bit of hyperbole but not by much. Battery usage has always been a boat load heavier than my ipad3 but nothing like this. I feel like updating to 10.2.1 can't be worse. Probably shouldn't have said that.
I would like to see a real measured test for battery life, once I did one (back in the iOS 8 days, same apps on a music session within cubasis til battery life run out) but I think there are people that could do a far better job. Turns out what I believed was less battery life was roughly the same or greater. It just seemed less maybe cause I was paying more attention.
Reading the crazy reports in here, battery life cut by half for some, battery lasting the same for others (my case). We need some hard data.
It's tricky. It can be loosely related while not strictly being an iOS issue. For instance, sometimes after an update, my phone will run hot and suck battery like crazy. I long ago learned removing my work Microsoft Exchange account from email and adding it back in fixes it. That's probably not at all related to the update itself, but possibly to some stuck process, maybe not even on the iPhone end (could be the work email server).
Battery life could go up temporarily just as a result of background apps closing during the update process. It could go down temporarily for just as hidden reasons. For instance, after every OS upgrade there are always a crap load of app updates, which consume battery life downloading. Once that's finally over that cause goes away.
But hell, updates are like death and taxes ... you can put them off but sooner or they're going to catch up with you. I do wish I'd gone off grid with my iPad 2 way back when it was usable, before updates killed it, though.
I'm on 10.2 on an iPhone SE and noticed a drastic increase in battery life even with Bluetooth enabled. I've even left a bunch of apps in the background and come back hours later to find my battery has barely gone down. It may be that this phone is fairly new though as my 5s screen bit the dust.
I got sucked into iOS 10 with the promise that I could delete unwanted default apps, which turned out to be not entirely true and now I'm stuck with iOS 10 which, for me, has been a glitchy, buggy turd from the start and I keep updating in hopes that the next update will smooth things out, which hasn't happened yet.
Oh how I miss iOS 9, or better yet, my Motorola RAZR
I've noticed that also, my iPhone SE battery life is much better than my 5S or 5C ever was, not sure why...
Wow, this air2 screen rotation lock bug is infuriating. I should have stayed on 9
If there is one thing that is abundantly obvious, and I work in a Mac shop, is that Apple's concept of customer service is, well, not great. At some point this is going to bite them in the butt, and they'll have to start acting like most companies that want to sell their wares. But they are still number 1. That being said, iPad sales are not keeping up the growth, as way more people are realizing that they don't need new hardware to read their books, browse the web, and get email.
Definitely. Albeit with processors becoming faster and screens becoming brighter it is hard to imagine how in such a short space of (technology development) time, maintaining the same battery life can be possible.
I'm pretty sure my first iPad (Ipad 2) lasted the full claimed 10hrs of light web browsing. Upgrading devices and operating systems those 10hrs have definitely diminished, I have no doubt about that. I wouldn't say in half but probably down to 7? It's hard to do an objective test without dedicating time to it so definitely leaving it to the likes of CNet makes a lot of sense.
I'd be curious to see the results but even if they disproved Apple's claims I still would find it hard to justify picketing in front of London's Apple Store.
Sometimes it helps - I was getting about an hour of charge at one point from my old iPad 2. I left it on the shelf for a year but resurrected it when Gadget first came out, and as Gadget needed the latest iOS updated to that. The battery life improved incredibly, and I was back up to about 8 hours usage - plus it charged quicker too. It's still on 7x though, not sure later versions were as good for older iPads battery-wise.
On my iPhone 6 the battery dropped 6% overnight after update. Before it was dropping 30-40%.
My iPad Air 1 is no different after update. Only drops 3-4% overnight.
Great update. No more need for itunes and they added support for usb sticks and memory cards. You can now copy multiple files from one app to the other and its even possible to downgrade your ios version. Ofcourse this was all a dream and never happened.
this is easy. Don't want anymore updates?. Stay on the same OS version forever?.
Give android a try. Its awesome!, my android phone, HTC one m8, it's guaranteed to never receive updates again!
The reason that I switched to IOS from Android was my Android phone stopped receiving updates after a year. And it turns out you probably do want those security updates...
Shortly afterwards, 10.3 is coming to an iDevice near you soon...

How are you finding ios10 on your Air 1? Mine is still running ios7 (because I use the machine for live gigging and it's super stable), but I would like to move up if it won't choke the darn thing. Though I guess I could also jailbreak it to only 9 or whatever...
I can advice you a motorola or nexus device next time you try android. For 2 years long you will receive the latest android and security patches.
It's working fine for me but I don't really push it too hard. Minimal time for music these days.
Only two years even for those devices?, gotta be more than that... that's what my HTC phone got, and what my Samsung phone got as well. That sucks. How about the pixel?
Main difference is that these brands are updated much more frequently with the latest android version and are popular by developers. My device (Moto x play) is almost 2 years old and updated from lollipop to marshmallow and next month receives the latest nougat. If your android gets outdated you can easily root and download new custom roms from XDA. I don't think any android phone receives updates longer then 2 years, so that's a big plus for IOS.
FWIW I've just had an hour and a half session with several apps running and screen at half the brightness and it used about 15% of the battery which is eerily close to the claimed 10hrs.
Of course I doubt I'd get out the full 10hrs of audio apps running but it possibly shows how difficult it is to get a conclusive answer to the battery question.
Ouch, sorry. Fake news.
My frontal lobe is not cutting it today. It wasn't 15 but 25% (from 70 to 45). Still I'm not surprised as I've been using the lot (clip launching, recording, effects, synths, etc).
This still means that I can get approx 6hrs gigging time on a single charge which I can totally live with.
Air 2, latest.
