Did installing iOS 15.4.1 or iPadOS 15.4.1 update help your devices battery? How’d the update go for you?
I love this website
Well, I have not noticed improvement in battery life on my iPad 9th gen with the 15.4.1 update? I do think my iPhone 13 has improved a bit. Apple also said performance would improve which I have not noticed either. If I am honest, I think my 9th gen iPad performs about the same as the 6th gen I traded in? Kind of feel like hardware gains are erased by OS bloat these days.
Why can’t these dumb fudges get it right the first time? These constant updates are, at the very least, annoying at best. If Steve jobs was still alive and running the company he would have FIRED these incompetent cretins a long time ago. This is ridiculous!
