    The battery life must be horrible if the device overheats.

    Surprising this type of bug gets into production, the use case sounds pretty ordinary i.e. very popular apps. Surely they would test this in development? Feels like there is more to this story.

    Now to fix watchOS 10 from completely destroying my battery that was perfectly fine before the update.

      I’d guess so but have you fully powered off and on your watch? I had this same issue, down to sub 10% by 8pm, and power cycling got it back to where I’m at 40% right now, a bit past 8.

        Yeah, I had done a full restart, but that didn’t really help.

        HOWEVER, since the latest iOS update that happened this week, I have seen the battery on the watch be better. Last night about 10pm I was at 30%. So maybe the phone was trying to talk to the watch a little too aggressively? Not sure. I’m hoping they figured it out, though.

    My 15 pro max never overheats, even when charging. I’ve read that this iOS update dimms the screen of some apps like TikTok. CPU is not throttled.
