My wife and I both have iPhone 6S phones. &nbsp;Recently my battery usage has failed to take me through even half a day. &nbsp; I compared my battery usage to my wife's (she doesn't have the problem). &nbsp;My phone shows 47% &quot;Home and Lock Screen&quot; usage, by far more than the next most power-hungry app (Messages= 12%). &nbsp; My wife's phone shows only 4% for &quot;Home and Lock Screen&quot;, but I can't figure out what on my phone is accounting for the vastly higher usage. &nbsp;Our Brightness and Auto-Lock settings seem the same. &nbsp;What else can account for this?<br />

Thanks,<br />

My wife and I both have iPhone 6S phones.  Recently my battery usage has failed to take me through even half a day.   I compared my battery usage to my wife's (she doesn't have the problem).  My phone shows 47% "Home and Lock Screen" usage, by far more than the next most power-hungry app (Messages= 12%).   My wife's phone shows only 4% for "Home and Lock Screen", but I can't figure out what on my phone is accounting for the vastly higher usage.  Our Brightness and Auto-Lock settings seem the same.  What else can account for this?

Thanks,

iPhone battery usage

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
