That shouldn't be a surprise, you go on a ride that pretty much emulates a car accident what would you expect to happen?

I was actually thinking why people have their phones on them on the rollercoaster
the watch is understandable though.Interesting predicament this, they may need to put signs up on these rides that you need to take ALL accessories off including smartwatches.

Or as the article says, use airplane mode whilst on the ride.
Yeah. Many people have battery issues and many others don't. What's isn't clear is why some people have the issue and others don't. I watch Brandon regularly and he himself hasn't been having issues before like other people, but he is beta testing 16.1 and started having the issue now. The battery issues seems very random so it's not worth dismissing as nothing. Apple will have a fix for it though, surely the problem effects enough people for them to look into it.

@Bryn how do I backup the Authenticator codes? apart from syncing them with another device, any step by step guide I could use?

Absolutely! I am actually very curious to figure out what is causing the drain for some people. It’s super annoying when it happens, I remember when the Reddit app destroyed my battery life one day, phone lost about 20-30% of charge overnight, on a night where I was not even sleeping at my own place, woke up to the phone on 7% which was strange, ever since then I watch the usage closely to try identify any app that may be misbehaving.
I am wondering if in this case it may be possibly an iCloud issue? Seeing as it affects multiple iPhone models old and new.

Just an update on this, went to bed just after midnight, phone must have been at around 68%, woke up to it on 64%, that’s a little more usage than I expected, if I remember correctly on previous iOS versions I would lose maybe 2% overnight, that being said the usage is not bad the graph is not as steep as I have seen some others have.
Going into the office today and the WiFi there can be iffy so will see how it goes. I think I should hit 20% in the afternoon sometime.

Whatever that is running in the background is showing us flames. It sure is a background process within the OS itself that is why we cannot see it on screentime.

Incredibly annoying. I remember on Android it would be Google Play Services running amok and there was literally nothing you could do about it sometimes, just let it do it’s thing for the few days or weeks and then suddenly you are back to great battery life one day.
I saw a pie chart on MR I think the other day, 60% of Apple profits still coming from iPhone, they really need to bring all they have onboard to fix this issue, this device is still their bread & butter, they must treat it as such.
My phone still drains ±20% over night, but I think it's wifi/modem related. Only way I can get your kind of minimum drain is with Airplane mode on.

That is absolutely insane!
Funnily enough in my last comment I was initially typing that I think it’s a modem issue with updated modem FW but due to some people having it and others not and even lack of consistency between models, that’s what lead me to rethink that it’s an iCloud issue, but who knows.
I am sitting at 40% battery now, it’s been a full day since I took it off charge yesterday at 13:54, so I can confirm I don’t have the issue right now, and I hope that does not change, but I can confidently say iOS 16 does eat more juice than I expected on iOS 16.0.2
The transfer to a new device merely involves scanning the provided QR code. So when you have the QR code, screenshot it and scan it when the receiving device is available.

With load shedding approaching, I am going to plug my phone in now, so killing this test at 24%, overall battery life for me has been great on iOS 16.0.2, hopefully Apple sort out whatever it is that’s causing drain in some devices.
Here is a final look of where I am, with me having last charged yesterday afternoon it didn’t play nice with Apple’s battery stats, but I have also included a view of both Sunday and today in the screenshots after the 24hour overview. Put together it’s about 10hours SOT which falls in line with what 13PM/14PM should get.

Seems Apple is busy with the updates … no mention of battery in the latest one:

To me it was always weird that those other chargers didn't work by default with wireless charging being wireless charging.
So glad there isn't some weird Apple tomfoolery in the way any more.
Technically there are only really two charging methods, wired and wireless...they've just made the wireless more accessible.

I've cancelled the Vodacom order. They don't have stock for bugger all. I took the Pro Max 128GB from MTN at R1080. That's R330 more per month. MTN do have stock.

iStore don’t have stock either. I’m still technically on the waiting list with iStore, two weeks on lol. It makes me wonder whether some people will give up and get the 14 Plus instead of the Pro Max. Obviously a much worse phone, but at least it’s something.

That is a slight exaggeration, Foxie.
