[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1810979, member: 204485"] This would not be an issue if not for the fact that it is a sudden and unexplained change in behavior. My wife has had her iPhone 7 for about a year and a half and habitually listens to talking books at night before sleep. She has been doing this for years with this iPhone and the one before. Last night she woke me up to show me how hot her phone was. With no case on it it was uncomfortable to leave against the skin an much hotter than my iPhone 7 had ever been. She did have a case on it but it's the standard soft flexible plastic type that comes with the device from Apple. It is currently running iOS 12.1.2 and she always updates it when updates become available. She has not added any new apps recently and seldom runs many apps in the background and those she does, like a solitaire game and WhatsApp are frequently left on so no changes in behavior there. A battery usage check shows the main power drain is from iOS Books, 92% in the last 24hrs. Everything else is in single figures. This is a sudden and unprecedented change in behavior and i cannot understand why a native audio app running with the display off would use so much power and obviously CPU resources in such a short period of time. She is using a pair of third party earphones plugged in but again this is not a change, she has been using the same pair for 6 months or more. Honestly I suspect the latest iOS update may be the culprit but I cant think of any way to check this. Any suggestions much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
