Iphone 11 pro max battery dying fast

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.


  • 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,

Frank

Mine does it too but I have the base 11, and it’s sucks because apples gonna charge you a arm and a leg for a basic function to work like they boast about because somehow it’s “customer fault” so I’m honestly waiting to sell this phone and switch to a brand that actually takes care of the customer instead of burning them and making them pay for it

can you just let me know whether this is normal because I can’t help but feel my battery isn’t lasting no more than 6-7 hrs and after a certain time no matter the app usage, the % goes down 1% every 5 minutes. Without fail. I’m not feeling the 12 hrs or so it’s MEANT to last. Idk whether it’s my iCloud backup or what, but I’ve been using my data, and I get rid of the background apps or there’s one while it’s locked.

Just got a new phone and fully charged and turned off apps I don’t used hoping To save the battery and nothing saves the battery , drains faster than my iPhone XR Max . Not sure what is the problem but I will call the tech and have him come to my house and fix it since it’s free for me . Hopefully they come up with a solution soon . Not happy with Apple right now . If the tech comes up with a Solution I will post it .

I have problem with my iphone 11 pro. My iphone 11 pro battery dying so fast in one minute. For example, my battery was 87% and one minute after that it become 85%. Sometimes, the battery will be stuck in 87% then so sudden drop into 50% in less than 5 minutes. I did general restart and restart all the setting, also turn off everything including my locations and the brightness. However, this is not solving the problem at all. Can someone please help me..??

A month or so I bought an iPhone pro max 11 and it was great at the beginning but its battery is lasting less and less more often and I don’t know why is that. I don’t use many apps, I don’t have many pictures I don’t use it as a phone for long periods of time and I just check really fast for messages, emails, WhatsApp, messenger or Facebook because I use other divises for these apps. Can someone help me with some advises?

I notice this battery problem in the past 2/3 days now. My phone is usually fully charged by 6 am and spend most of my mornings using my Duolingo app for about 1 hour learning Spanish and do a little surfing on the web. I put my phone in my pouch on my belt and don't really use it at all for the rest of the day. My ride to work is 12 minutes and use bluebooth to listen to my music on amazon and apple maps. At work I go my break around 7 pm, take out my phone to use it and look at a movie and my phone is down to 10%. The only app that shows a high percentage in use is the Notes app, my background fresh is off and I thought the use of Widget for Notes might be the issue so I deleted that and all the Widgets. But Battery is still tanking. I would like to stop the app library also but can't turn it off. I'm just wondering is if it's necessary to use the app library and the old home screen together
