The Great Mystery Battery Drain and the Modern OS
I woke up this morning to a dead device. Hmm…. I pressed the ‘Sleep’ button, to see the Apple logo and a boot up sequence, followed by a quick battery warning pop-up message. And then, a few minutes later it was off again. The strange thing is that I had charged it fully yesterday evening. And this isn’t the first time this has happened in six months of ownership.
Looking round the forums online, it seems that is phenomenon has been seen by others. No definitive explanation has been given, but with 15 years of mobile computing in my blood I’m going to offer a few thoughts anyway…
