Anyone else having a problem with the battery tanking? I’ve covered all the bases. Brightness down, location services only while using apps, no background app refresh, etc. my battery is consistently going down 50% in 5 hours for the past 24 hours that I’ve tested it. Regular use, no difference between sleep & wake, it’s losing the same amount. Ideas??
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.
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,

I have you all beat. Same issue with my 11.
Total screen on time over the last 24 hours: 1h 14m
Screen off time: 10m
Safari total: 42m
SoundCloud: 30m
Home & Lock Screen: 7m
Message: 4m
Mail: 3m
Settings: 10m
Music: 9m
That's everything over the last 24 hours. I don't use my phone for much. Was 100% when I left office at 4:30 PM, got home at 5:00 PM. Left phone unused all night until morning. Battery was at 45%. And I've disabled almost all background processes.
I think that’s pretty normal. iOS 13 has a more accurate measure of battery health than in previous iterations; that’s why it seems your device is aging faster.
I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max too, and after about 2.5 months my battery health is at 98%.
Example: I just browsed web for 10 min and lost 4% of battery in those 10 min.
Turns out iOS 12.2 is available to update now. I just updated it and we’ll see if battery life gets better. I give this phone last chance before I possibly return it.
I did check that. I’ve used it a fair amount over the last 10 hours and went down to 5% then put it in the charger. Only safari & Facebook we’re using 15% and 13% respectively. I’ve been in WiFi all day also, in my home. I’ve done 3 hard resets so far thinking that may help. I just don’t understand how it could be the same battery life if not worse than my XS Max. I’m certainly not seeing FIVE MORE hours of battery life.
I have the 11 and have had the same issue. It was at 100% when i left at about 8am and at around 12:30 i was already down to 52% after just browsing Instagram, watching an episode of a tv show and normal texting.
I’m having this issue too. Kinda frustrating cause I’ve waited for a year to get this phone and coming from the iPhone X. I’m doing the same thing I’d do with the X and it was at 32% by 11:30am. I took it off the charger at 6:55am with 100%. Hopefully the 13.1 will have a fix or something.
I am having the same issue even after the most recent updated 13.1.1. My battery drains so quick overnight without using my phone it drops 10-15% and when I charge it in like 10 minutes it goes up 15-20% and not on the fast charger on the small charger.
Anyone figure out this problem? My new iphone 11 base does the same thing. I go to bed with the phone fully charged and wake up 6 hours later with the phone at 75%- 85%. Its not like I get a lot of notifications or things like that. Even my old iphone SE holds a better charge...
Are you saying you do not charge the phone while you sleep? If so, even if it is on the low end at 75%, that means that your charge will a full day. If it is only down to 85%, then it will likely last beyond your next bedtime. However, if you do not charge it while you sleep, you must charge it at some point during the day, which would extend it even further.
I am sorry that some of you are having battery issues. I typically leave my phone on a Qi charging stand while in my office, but I just went to teach a class so it has been off of the charger for about 100 minutes and the battery is still at 100%. The battery on my iPhone 11 Pro Max has been nothing short of extraordinary. If you are having really bad battery life, I would seek help from Apple.
I rarely charge it while im sleeping. Even my old SE (3 years of use) would go down no more than 8%. But yeah By the time I get home from work at around 2pm, im at 30%- 40% or so (roughly the same as my SE). Don't use it a whole lot other than for podcasts, music (not streaming) and the occasional scroll through IG.
My co-workers XR lasts all day and uses her phone quite frequently.
I’m having the same issue with my 11 that I just got yesterday. I let the battery run completely dead before charging it then when I woke up at 7:30 I took it off my charger by 9 it was on 80%. I was at work from 9-5 am and when I got off my phone was on 30%. I haven’t used my phone all day and all my apps were closed out.
I replaced my iPhoneX with iPhone 11 Pro and observe the very same fast battery drain on a few hours of use. Battery usage over the past 7 days is under 50% and Activity on any given day was no more than 6 hours (45% Safari using battery) and I am always on WiFI. Used the phone to phone instructions to transfer all data, did not use iTunes.
Did that fix your phone?
I've done that but my phone battery still sucks. According to background activity it says the stock photos app is running nonstop in the background. That seems to be the source of all my problems.
Is there a way to stop the photos app from running?
I have 20000+ photos- do you think this is draining my battery? It’s been 2 days now and my battery is terrible. Draining very fast. I restored new phone from iCloud backup. I’m not sure what else to do or what type of reset to do.
