How to fix iPhone XS Max Battery That’s Draining Too Quickly? | GETDroidTips

The heat is dissipated out of the system although some might be trapped thus raising the temperature of the device which raises the risk of an overheating problem. The increase in power consumption is what drives the battery down, however, increase in heat can also drain the battery as well and thus, it is ideal to use the phone smartly rather than consuming its juices all at once. What you should do is to close apps when you are done with it and limit the number of active apps to three or four at maximum. Allow the phone to take a rest for a minute or so when in use and avoid using it under direct sunlight as the sunlight can escalate the core temperature of the device as well.

Update all the apps installed

It is a known fact that outdated apps have adverse impact on the system as it tends to increase the power consumption as well as open a door for hackers to intrude or to inject viruses while lagging behind in terms of new UI changes and features and other refinements and optimizations that are passed through by the app developers. You can either use the manual method to update an app individually or update all the apps at once simply by diving into the App Store. You will see a list of apps that have ‘Update’ button against their listing or tap on the ‘Update All’ on the top right of the screen which goes homogenous with their nomenclature.

Upgrade to the latest available iOS

Updating the firmware goes hand in hand how updating an individual app is crucial. The firmware is basically a medium where all the apps and hardware components interact and allow things to be done which makes it one of the most crucial pieces of code that need an update every now and then. Since you are using iPhone XS Max, Apple tends to keep their phones updated with new patches almost every month or so in order to keep it stacked with latest security protocols and by filtering any bugs or viruses or malware, if found. You can check out if there’s an OS update available or not simply by diving into the Settings >> General >> Updates where you must get all the information you need or visit iTunes to check it out.

Perform a factory reset

This is essentially summoned as the mother-of-all-fixes because it stays true to its name. A factory reset will put the phone to its original factory settings thereby fixing any network or software-related issues right there although hardware issues will need human intervention. Before proceeding further, this method is irreversible unless you know how to retrieve any deleted files. You need to take a backup either by downloading all the stuff in a computer or a flash drive or you can simply upload the data to Dropbox or iCloud that will protect the data while you are putting your phone through a factory reset which won’t take more than a couple of minutes.

To do a factory reset, go to the Settings >> General.
Scroll and tap on ‘Reset’ and finally, tap on ‘Reset all content and settings’ which is the third option in the menu.
The system will prompt the user to confirm the actions and will ask to enter the passcode for confirmation.
Once entered tap on ‘Restore Phone’ and let the system take care of the reset.

Solution #: Check for battery health

The battery could be the first thing you need to verify if it is draining too quickly. Since iPhone users either Lithium-Ion or Lithium-Polymer batteries, these batteries have specific lifecycles where one lifecycle means one charge and one discharge although there are tonnes of discrepancies such as what if the user charges the battery to 50% and discharges it and so on. When the battery reaches the end of life cycles, it depletes and thus, the battery output depletes as well. If you have been using the phone for a while now, it is possible that it is running towards the end of its life cycle thus, the battery begins to produce less output. This will finally end up rendering the battery useless and thus, you would need to change the battery.

Solution #: The official help

If you are still wandering between the various solutions mentioned in this troubleshooting guide and have tried many but failed, it is possible that the issue was induced by a hardware problem at the first place. It could be as simple as battery failure that would need a replacement although it won’t be that cheap since you are using an iPhone XS Max and reporting the problem to an authorized service center will cost you a lot if being realist although I wouldn’t recommend a third-party service center which is cheaper and far more convenient since the battery or any other damaged component could be swapped easily and quickly.
