Iphone 11 pro max battery dying fast

There is definitely something wrong. My iPhone 11 Pro Max has been off the charger for 6 hours so far today and it still has 81% battery. At this rate, it will last up to 30 hours. Keep in mind that I am home so it has been on WiFi all day, which is much more efficient than cellular.

• Go to Settings: Battery
• View your usage for the last 24 hours
• See if there are particular hours that stand out
• Look at the apps and activity % to see which apps are sucking down the battery

Let me know what you find.

I have seen a situation like this before and doing a full reset of the phone fixed it. Not sure if we are there yet with your phone so you should check the list above.

Best,

Are you restoring your iPhone from an iCloud backup? If so, that is almost definitely the reason why your battery is draining. Well, that combined with new phone fever. Whenever I first get my new iPhone it expends a ton of battery life downloading all of my apps and photo thumbnails from iCloud. Also, when we get our new phones, we tend to use them much more than we normally would. The combination of these two things has a big negative impact on battery life. I would wait one week when everything is loaded and you are back to normal use. If you are still seeing the quick drain, call Apple Support.

1. Go to the Settings > Battery
2. Tap on the Battery Level section in one area
3. Look below to find out what time you have tapped on
4. This will show you exactly which apps were using your battery during each hour of the day, ordered by most used to least used

See the image below. Also, why are you not charging while you are sleeping? I am blown away by the number of people who have battery life issues but are wasting the prime charging hours by not charging. By definition you are not using the phone, thus making it the best time to charge.

I would follow that advice. That sounds like a major software bug. I would do the restore from iTunes and test it stock before restoring from iCloud.

I kinda actually figured it out. All I had to do was reset my phone lol. Maybe some kind of soft ware issue. I assumed that when I installed iOS 13.1, that it was gonna reset but yeah. Battery lasts forever now! lol. Thanks for the help!

I was reading this article about draining and it said to rest your phone reset all setting I did it and my battery ain’t draining like an iPhone 5 no more

Did you try restarting your phone? I had a similar issue, and once I restarted it, things returned to normal.

Let's make sure we are talking about the same thing when I say full reset and you say hard reset. I am not referring to the force quite (volume up, volume down, hold power until Apple logo appears). I am referring to Settings: General: Reset: Erase All Content and Settings.

I feel that there is some bug in your system that is draining the battery.

I am having the same issue with my 11 Pro, the phone it self gets super hot when i am doing minimal things like talking on the phone for a few minutes or just on facebook. I woke up at 7 am this morning and it was 10 am that my battery was already at 20% thats just from me taking 2 phone calls and listening to Spotify while working out. I upgraded from the 7+, i contacted support they advised me to do a restore iphone in ITUNES on my computer. I am very skeptical right now, i have been googling the crap out of this issue so i hope this works. I love the phone but if its the pro and the pro max i might just down grade to the 11 cause my wife is having the time of her life with it.

iOS 13 has a new feature. You will find it under Settings > Battery > Battery Health

The feature is called Optimized Battery Charging and it is made to solve the exact issue that you are referring to.

Just to double-check, you are saying that during the night you could see your battery drain 30% but when you tapped on the areas that covered those drops, there was nothing listed as using the battery power?

Is your iPhone on WiFi overnight or cellular only? Because if you truly had no apps running in the background, the only other thing I can think of is that you have your phone in an area of the house where there is a terrible signal. Struggling to maintain a wireless connection (especially if it is cellular) will wear a battery down faster than just about anything.

THe only solution to not have my phone drain quickly is to charge it to 100% and instantly enable low power mode. It then last all day but if I don't have low power mode on it still drains quickly due to background activity from the photo app.

I'm going to test restoring my phone from a wired back up now.

I think you should check your battery to the apple store. My screen on time is 7 hours and 25 minutes in 24 hours and my battery still at 44 percent. Can you screenshot your battery usage?

Does your fastcharger works well?

Hi Guadalupe268

what I did to try to fix a little bit that issue was that I turned off my iPhone Pro Max 11 for one night and next morning I turned on again and it helped a little bit, still the battery is not that long lasting but at least it’s not gone in few hours. I have to charge it once a day or if I don’t use my iPhone that much (I’m not that much online, or texting, or talking, or taking a lot of pictures) it last one and a half day

Also I closed all the screens or apps I have used and that helped too

Reset your phone. Had the same exact problem.

put in dark mode and battery power saving mode. It helps out a lot
