Apple Intelligence & Battery Usage (?)

Apple Intelligence & Battery Usage.


Only wanted to address a possible solution to Apple Intelligence draining people’s iPhone batteries (when they have barely used their iPhone during the day). I found that my iPhone 15 Pro battery (like with other people) (as soon as) when I turned on Apple Intelligence, when I did not use the phone for 3-4 hours, went from 100% (battery)power to 83% (battery)power. It was just sitting on my desk, unplugged to power. I turned of Apple Intelligence, like the guy that wrote this article suggested.

I know it has been that Apple has released a fix (or bug fix) in iOS 18.2 that should resolve Applintelligence battery issues (interesting typo)

Apple Intelligence battery issues from what I have read.

I seem to have noticed I only had to turn Apple Intelligence off once & on once

(second time with (w/) Apple Intelligence on to have Apple Intelligence not drain my battery significantly with no personal smartphone use like TV, Browser, Music, Pictures. TV like HBO Max or Apple TV or Disney+ for example of TV. Saying that I did not do these and my phone lost 17% battery without any personal use right after turning on Apple Intelligence. Fix was just to turn off Apple Intelligence once

(or multiple times is probably no problem for people who have done so) then turn it back on.

(It may take some time for this to work or take place)

I had Apple intelligence on for the first time for 11-12 hours.

Now, for example, I have had my phone on my desk for 2-3 hours after using for 3 hours & it is still at about 100% (97%)
