How long will 'ongoing device setup' take on my new iPhone 16 Pro Max? I have just purchased the 16 pro max and noticed the battery life has not even lasted me 24 hours. I went to the battery settings and saw the “on going device set up” notification. It says the iPhone is completing set up steps in the background and that battery life may improve once finished. What does this mean and how long does it take for this notification to disappear ? What settings is it still finalising? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Why my iPhone is showing error as "‘ongoing device setup" even after completing Setup? I recently set up and transferred all my data to an iPhone 13 Pro Max, the setup is complete but in my settings I have a message ‘ongoing device setup’ which is draining my battery usage, is there anyway to remove this message? All my apps iTunes etc have been synced so I’m not sure why this message is appearing, anyone have this issue at all? Thanks [Re-Titled by Moderator]

iPhone 12 iOS 17.2.1 excessive battery drain and overheating Hello everyone. In this discussion I would like to complain about the terrible battery life and excessive overheating I’m dealing with on my iPhone 12 after updating to iOS 17.2.1, which they have the audacity to say it’s an update to improve battery life when it has become far worse. In fact, my phone was at 100% an hour ago and currently it already went down to 76% with just barely using it. Before upgrading I had iOS 17.1.1 and the battery endurance was pretty decent (keep in mind my phone has 88% battery condition), even with heavy usage it would last about a day and it would only get hot when I connected the phone to power. But after I upgraded to iOS 17.2.1 because it claimed to have better battery life it has become terrible and overheats even in normal temperature conditions. The reason I upgraded from my former iPhone SE 2020 to this iPhone 12 was because of the terrible battery life on the SE and because I was hoping it would have a better battery, which in the beginning did but now after this update the battery feels just like it was on my SE. Lately I have been feeling so disappointed about Apple, their products and mostly their TERRIBLE updates. my iPhone SE 2020 barely lasted one year because of how awful the battery was, despite me taking really good care of it and the battery condition lowering to just 87% after a year. And now my iPhone 12 feels just like a deja vu of my SE on a bigger body and screen. I really miss the iOS 7-9 days when Apple actually cared about providing great quality products (hardware and software) and you could update your devices to the latest version as soon as they came out without any flaws or battery issues. Now they just care about hardware because when it comes to software they just present half a** work laggy features in every new iOS version instead of focusing on fixing all the bugs and current laggy features that are present in their devices. It’s like they want to keep up with other competitors creating gimmick ahh features that only make the overall user experience worse. If anyone knows how I can fix this or what can I do in order to improve my battery life I would really appreciate it and thank you for it.

I am also having this issue since updating my iPhone 16 pro max on 10/28 to iOS 18.1. I tried restarting the phone and doing a hard reset but it did not fix the issue. Yesterday I did a reinstall and restored from a iCloud backup. The issue still remains.

I regret to inform you that the magic “just restart your iPhone” option doesn’t do a thing. I’m on 18.1.1 and this is still a thing. It better be fixed in 18.2. It’s obnoxious.
