iPhone 14 Pro battery draining quickly

Anyone else having issue with the battery health for iPhone 14 pro, especially after the latest iOS (17) update? If so, has anyone find any solutions to this?

In the past few weeks it went from 100% to 95% in the blink of an eye and I haven't changed anything in my usage or the apps I usually use. The phone is 10 months old, I feel it is just too new for the battery to be degrading like this. I always knew that Apple devices have these issues with the battery, but it just starts to be worse and worse with every device they release...

Unfortunately Apple Support has been totally useless, telling me essentially to stop using certain features (like "Always on display") or reset the phone and manually set it up. All of this while still being in warranty and paying for the extra warranty on top of this. Super disappointed in the solutions and the support received.

While I was curious to know when 1% battery health is dropped, here I found out: How to Stop Battery Health Drainage of iPhone 14 Pro, that when 25 charge cycles( 100% battery discharge ) are completed then 1 percent battery health is dropped. This means that how we use our iPhone and how quickly the battery charge is drained will impact battery health. I wish if battery health would drop after 100 charge cycles that would have been awesome.

Thanks Varunprakash, I already have these settings in place and I have always had them, that's something I told Apple Support also. What I still had on was "Display always on" and I changed it. Also, keeping the phone always on low battery mode or airplane mode is not a solution unfortunately..

I suspect something with the new software or an issue with my phone specifically.

It is happening to me also. I've purchased this iPhone about one month ago, I come from an iPhone Xs Max, that last me 5 years or so and the battery couldn't handle the time spent on calls, in the middle of the day I had to recharge my cell phone. At first, the 14 Pro Max's battery lasted until the end of the day at about 20%. Now in the middle of the day I'm at about 40% when I was at 60/65%. When I look at it, I saw that what drains the battery the most is calls but in some occasions on days when I have spent little time on the phone, that´s what doesn't make any sense to me. I am very disappointed with this model.

Totally. I haven't even upgraded to ios17 but there was a stark contrast about a month ago as well for my 14pro. Didn't change any settings, all the sudden went from end of day battery being like 20-30% still to now it's dead for sure if I don't charge it in the day. I won't touch it for hours at my desk and it loses 20% plus just sitting there. Very annoying... No always on screen or anything too.

I can't believe, almost 1 year later from having the iPhone 14 Pro the battery capacity was at 98% Since December 2023 it is draining rapidly and nonstop. What is going on? I started taking print screens on 6 January with 96%, 12 January 95%, now today 19 January 94%. It is dying and I am seeing it all! What quality is this???

Same I bought my iPhone 14 Pro on day 1 of June, and last time I check which was like a month ago I was 99% sure I use my phone while charging and don't have auto brightness. But yet my 14 pro went down in one month from 99% to 95% my 12 pro went down to 95% in 8 months. And yet when I still had it in April I was at 87%
