Hello everyone, and welcome to the iOS 15.7.3 / 12.5.7 battery performance video.
iOS 15.7.3 / iOS 12.5.7 was released January 23rd 2023.
This video was shot 50 hours after iOS 15.7.3 / 12.5.7 were 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 50 hours after I updated them this time. In that period they were left without power, and also 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.
