This update includes the following enhancements and bug fixes:

- A new Pride Celebration wallpaper for the Lock Screen to honor the LGBTQ+ community and culture

I do not have that problem but then your use shows about 8 hours minimum usage per day with average 5 hours screen on, and yeah its eating your battery.

Mine is like this I am using about a quarter of the time (hours you are using looks like you are using it all day at average of 8 hours what are you doing? I am using 2 hours average screen and 25 percent of battery in given day

My worse case busy day is around 4 hours and I am at 50 percent so that shows I would likely be at a similar level if used a full 8 hours each day and doubled my screen time.

Bottom line is that I guess my use is significantly less than yours both overall and screen time, but those are my habits daily for many years of iphone use.

I use my ipad at home more since I like the screen real estate and I use over 7 hours per day (3 at night streaming shows) but I am mostly on power all the time.

In morning on table I can use 50 percent power in 4 hours of constant use (videos, facebook, macrumors and other surfing, ect) but it’s an old 2018 gen 3 iPad Pro. Ipad 10 day use is the second image below.

And then below that in third image is the daily use in which you can see in 3 hours at kitchen table I used over 50 percent of battery definately this old beast of an ipad would not make a day like what you are seeing but also its got an old battery that is 5 years old.

@TheYayAreaLiving ?️ so in summary the bottom line is you are using 8 hours a day with 5 hours average screen on. I am using around 2 hours a day so half the screen time and a quarter of the usage time I guess. But as the details I describe I use ipad more during day and it is a old 4 year old 12.9 iPad Pro it gets 3 hours in on 50 percent of battery so would give me max of 6 hours before charging. You are obviously on phone far more for your daily usage than I and I probably would find more similar results as yours. Wonder if the recent iphones ever did better than this with such usage patterns that you vs I make of the iphones???

The update also includes a new Siri option ('https://www.macrumors.com/2023/03/28/ios-16-5-siri-screen-recording/') for starting a screen recording with a voice command
