Apple has recently released software updates for its entire portfolio, just a week ago to precise. These updates were aimed to focus mainly on bug fixes and improvements. The iOS 10.3.2 for iPhone and iPad users was also released, with a similar focus, and users installed it without much consideration. However, now some iPhone users who have installed the update have stated that they are facing severe battery drain issues, causing their iPhones to lose more than 10 percent of battery in few minutes or even seconds.
- A user named Jill took to Twitter to complain about her sudden battery woes. Her iPhone 6 Plus battery went from 80 percent to 50 percent in just two seconds, and steadily decreased to 3 percent in no time.
- Another user replied to the tweet claiming that he was experiencing the same issue.
- Forbes have also reported that a iPhone 6 user named Kamlesh Pawar explained that “not only has he seen extreme battery drain (10-20 percent within minutes of unplugging from a full charge and switching off with up to 40 percent battery remaining), but that this affects his iPhone 6 despite it only recently receiving a new Apple battery.”
With regards to the sudden battery draining, it seems like a strong assumption can come from the after effect of the iOS 10.3.2 update. If you haven’t installed already, it is recommended that you to wait it out, even though its important security wise.
The security update page for iOS 10.3.2 states that bugs in Safari, notifications, CoreAudio , AVEVideoEncoder, iBooks, WebKit-related fixes, and more have been tackled with in this update.
There is an expectation from Apple to issue a prompt fix to this issue soon, even though it has not made any announcements of being aware about the issue yet.
