iOS 16.3.1 Battery Life / Battery Drain / Battery Performance Test.



Hello everyone, and welcome to the iOS 16.1.1 battery performance video.

iOS 16.3.1 was released February 14th 2023

This video was shot more than 4 days after iOS 16.3.1 was installed, so it had some time to settle in. I have seen many comments that it takes about a week for battery performance to optimize itself after an iOS update. I have always been skeptical of this statement as I have never personally had bad battery life right after I update. If I restore and download backup from iCloud well then that is another story. So I decided to run the battery test just 4 days after I updated them this time. In that period they were left without power and then powered back to 100% to be
ready for the test to run.

Before the test was run the devices were set to 25% display brightness, auto brightness has been disabled, all devices use same settings, and are connected to the same access point.
