If you mean that you turned the phone off completely by holding the side button and Volume Up simultaneously until Slide to Power Off appears and you then did that. And when you next start the phone the battery charge has decreased you have a defective battery. The phone uses zero power when it is powered off.


But the screen shot you posted shows that the phone was powered on from 12h00 to 23h50 or so when the battery was draining.

Lawrence has a good point - some owners incorrectly assume their phone is powered off when the screen is off.


Unless you manually Slide to Power Off, the phone is still on even if the screen is off. If the phone was truly off, you would not be able to receive phone calls or text notifications.


To confirm this, try calling your iPhone from a different phone - if it rings, your phone is still ON and only the screen is off.
