“Unveiling the Mystery: Is Your iPhone’s Battery Life in the UK Under Siege Today?”
With every new iPhone update, there’s a feeling of excitement in the air, but you know what else comes along for the ride? A torrent of complaints about diminishing battery life. I mean, isn’t it just a little ironic that as we chase the latest features in iOS 18.2—offering everything from enhanced Apple Intelligence to AI tools—we’re suddenly faced with the double-edged sword of our devices losing juice faster than a marathon runner at the finish line? Hot on the heels of iOS 18.1, this latest update has stirred up a storm among users, especially those in the UK who were hoping to enjoy the security patches that come with it. Yet, as has become customary, the online realm is buzzing with tales of battery woes. From bizarre anecdotes about phones draining quicker than they charge, to fervent cries of “this update sucks!”, the struggle is real. Let’s dive deeper into the potential reasons behind this collective battery crisis. For the full story, LEARN MORE.
There’s a new iPhone update in for Apple customers and you know what that means, there’s been some huge complaints about battery life.
Hot on the heels of iOS 18.1 is 18.2, because that’s how numbers work, and it’s got a chunk of stuff for Apple Intelligence and the AI tools that some iPhone users get to make use of, with this stuff now being available for people in the UK.
The new update comes with a bunch of security patches which aren’t included for anyone still wanting to stick on iOS 17, so if you have an iOS 18 compatible device and want to keep it secure, then you’re going to have to get the update to stay safe from now on.
As is always the case whenever a new update drops for the iPhone, people are studiously checking on their battery life and complaining that it’s plummeting at an alarming rate.

Now there are complaints that the new update is ‘killing my battery’ even on newer devices.
Folks hopped online to complain of ‘terrible battery drain on iOS 18.2’, with one person even claiming that their phone now ‘drains faster than it charges while it lays unused on my desk’.
Meanwhile, others complained that there had been ‘no improvement’ on the battery issues caused by the previous update and declared that it ‘suckssss’, and you know they’re serious because they really emphasised the letter ‘s’.
Some iPhone users were posting their battery health settings and seeing if the drain was doing anything permanent to their phone’s performance.
However, there is a possible explanation for why this keeps happening whenever a new iPhone update drops, as once you’ve downloaded it, something called ‘indexing’ is still happening in the background on your phone.

This is the files in your phone being sorted out by the new update and the apps on your device updating themselves in the background to make sure they’re compatible with the new iOS software.
As you can imagine, this would put quite the strain on your device for a few days, but ideally it’ll only be a couple of days before everything has been sorted out and the early battery life problems are resolved.
On Apple’s own support pages, they say: “If you notice that your battery life has decreased after updating your iPhone, wait a few days and then check again.
“Even though you can use your iPhone immediately after an update, certain tasks related to the update continue in the background and might affect battery life and thermal performance.”
So fingers crossed these issues are only temporary.
