Thanks everyone. I've made the screen darker and turned on auto brightness. I don't know what the background app refresh is nor where to find it. Don't know how to check about the email push/fetch or i cloud syncing.

I'm using the charger that came with it plugged into the white square boxy thing and an extension cord.

@Bridgegal

Those can be found in your Settings app.

ICloud is at the top, along with your Apple ID. Tap that and it will take you to a page that will include a spot to find the Apps that are using and syncing to ICloud. Tap that line and it will show you all your apps that are syncing to ICloud. You can turn off any or all of those. But realize they will no longer be backed up to ICloud either as long as they're off.

Background App Refresh is also in Settings, under the General tab. Tap that, and it will show all your apps that are using the background refresh. Again, you can turn any or all of those off.

I'm not sure about the email push. Notifications, maybe?

ETA: Also in Settings, you can check what is using the battery the most. Tap Battery and it will show you the battery percentage used by each app.

@Bridgegal,

Did you start, as I suggested,

by opening your

Settings

and looking under

"Battery" to see what's using up the battery?

That's going to give you a good overview of battery usage

and a good basic start to detecting and fixing the problem.

Also, I'd still recommend plugging directly into a wall outlet as a test to be sure the extension cord isn't a problem.
eta: You also might try using your iPhone charger and cable to see if the results are better.

@geezerette,

The email "fetch" and "push" settings are in

Settings, under Mail-->Accounts-->Fetch New Data.

Ah. I always forget about that "Accounts" tab in the Mail section!🤣

Thanks! 👍😘

My most are: Chrome, Safari, Mail and ESPN. All around 20%.

My fetch is set to 'automatically'.

I've done every thing everyone has suggested. I'll see how things go. Thanks so much for all of the help. You all are GREAT!!

Unfortunately, your 90 days of tech support most likely has expired. You should have purchased Apple Care to extend it. However, you do need to call Apple Tech Support and find out what's going on.
