When Apple released iOS 16.2, just a couple of weeks ago, many users began to install the operating system update as usual to fix occasional bugs in their phones. To no one’s surprise, soon the first customers of the brand began to complain about battery problems on the iPhone, especially in the latest models.
However, that does not mean that the failures do not affect other models of the brand. In fact, we have personally seen that on an iPhone 12 Pro Max updated to iOS 16.2 , the autonomy of the device, with the same use, has been slightly reduced.
This is really a problem that has been dragging on since the launch of the new operating system. Many users were delighted to receive new features like an improved lock screen and again the famous battery percentage indicator. What happens is that this percentage is reduced faster and faster and the successive iterations of the brand’s software do not find the key to fix the problem.
Of course, at least the errors and overheating failures of the devices updated to iOS 16 seem to have disappeared, although we cannot say the same about the battery wear of the brand’s new models. This is stated by the users themselves on social networks.

There are people who complain that, with the same time of use, the percentage of autonomy is very different at the same time. In addition, they also claim that the battery capacity, after updating, has decreased by 5%, something that users do not understand very well, since the use is the same as before applying the update.

Changing the battery will be more expensive
If you are one of those affected by this iPhone 14 problem, you can only wait for a new version of the operating system to reach your mobile to alleviate the error, or follow our tips to save battery on the iPhone.
If you are thinking of changing the battery , hurry up because, soon, changing it will be more expensive, as the company has just announced. Specifically, from the month of March, the firm will raise the prices of the battery change of its older models, going to cost 99 euros, compared to the 75 that cost now . This represents a price difference of 24 euros that will affect all those models of the brand that are out of warranty. At least, the price of changing the battery of the iPhone 14 will not change and will continue to cost a not inconsiderable figure of 119 euros.
For this reason, if you find that your iPhone’s battery life is below 85% and you no longer have support or warranty, we recommend that you request a replacement before it costs you more.
