Even when
tested with minimal usage/standalone the battery is still going down really
fast like 30% in just one hour on iPhone 6s. Before the update the battery
easily lasted 1 - 1.5 days with usage. When checked the battery looked fine and ~90% to normal peak performance according to
the battery stats function. Normal restart or low power mode is also not saving
battery drain in iPhone 6s. But still it is difficult to understand why iOS 12.3 is consuming battery so fast.
Why iOS 12.3 is draining battery so fast:
When
observed closely it seem like this is not a battery/hardware fault that is
causing server battery drain in iPhone 6s/iOS 12.3 but battery drain can be a software glitch that
is not showing the battery percentage accurately. Due to this bug the battery initially
will not show any drain for long time, or may increase in percentage without
charging. But after some times it will move to actual percentage randomly
making it look as very fast or sudden drain of battery in iPhone 8 iOS 12.3.
