iPhone 12 battery draining fast

well first Verizon, gave me a new iPhone 12/pro but the same thing happened and I had only one return so I know that I did not only get a lemon at least. Now I am working with Apple support. The engineers look at my 24 hr logs n blamed google apps. I deleted them and still a issue. Waiting for response. I am fed up n just will charge everyday even with no use. I believe that this is not only a software issue but hardware n 5G thing

I bought an iPhone 12 Pro Max in Nov 2021. The battery used to be very impressive but it is now running out from a full charge in half a day. I have tried lots of methods to make it last longer but nothing helps. The Battery Manager says that it is charging to 97% of maximum but I do not believe it.

My wife and I traded our old iPhones in a few days ago and this is happening to both of us. She went from an 11 to 12 pro. I went from 11 pro to 12 pro. My 11 pro was at 80% battery health and it far out lasted my new 12 pro. I’m referring to the phone when it’s idle only. This makes no sense. Is there a solution? I tried Turing off 5G. No luck. Extremely annoyed. I woke up this morning fully charged. Laid my phone down on my desk, and within 2 hours at my first check I was at 93%. How does it lose 3% per hour idle? Config is identical to 11 pro and my old phone would maybe lose 10% over an entire night idle. This one pushes 25% loss in the same time frame.

Just got off the phone with a second-tier support representative who communicate with the engineer about my analysis of 100 to 1 percent experiment and its logs for 24 hours . They wanted me to fully charge my phone and then use it til 1-2 percent left n then they would collect the 24 hr percentage chart with detail of usage. One time, I let my phone be idle a lot with only 4hrs use total within drain of 2.5 days n they said normal. Then I did it again with FaceTime ,phone use, and google search and with 1.5 day a total 6.5 hrs and they said good . What is normal battery usage time? If someone is on zoom n phone with this data , the phone would not last even a full work day. My friend’s 11 pro does not move a lot during no use so she get several days before charging. Should I put it in for hardware service ? Any suggestions? I spent so much money on this phone!

regardless of what apple says its because they keep putting small batteries on newer model iphones saying iphones dont need a bigger battery but its been proven that the iphones batteries dont last longer than any other android phones ive owned several brand new iphones and the battery is crap

I don’t agree with this because Verizon gave me a new phone and the same problem happened. People don’t care because with MagSafe , everyone is just charging their phone. Both of my friends say they don’t care because they charge their phone throughout the day n don’t care about battery drain. My friend’s phone gets hot sometimes as well like mine, the more you use it less idle time so don’t see the drain . Anyways, I have given up and joining the 99 % apathetic consumers . I am tired and Apple will not admit that there is a fundamental problem with the Iphone12 series.

Well mine was fine, only started recently after I have had the phone (iPhone 12pro 128 gig) for 6 months… it used to last for a day & half… but now half the day the battery drains out… not sure what changed, because how I use the phone has not changed…?🤔

i am convinced that nothing can happen to the iphone 12’s. This is extremely irrelevant here but I’m looking forward to buying a macbook. If any of you’ll do own the latest m1 macs, could someone recommend whether its worth buying the m1 macs or do even they have a tonne of bugs?

Hi, your extremely right the battery is horrible on a few devices but not all. I too am one of those people who is facing these issues. I visited another service centre and they said they cannot open the device and examine the hardware until any issue reflects in the the tests they conduct. The tests have been done multiple times on my phone but it doesn’t reflect anything as such. So there’s no point of visiting a service centre or even contacting apple support. If you call apple support then they say go to the service centre and vice versa. Apple is just charging funds and providing paper weight to their customers. At the end we’re the ones losing out as we have paid huge funds and are given crap in our hands. Here in India there’s no importance given to consumer rights. If it was than people could have even sued apple misleading customers. Please do not waste any time with the employees at service centres or on a call with apple support. The end result is always going to be fail and that is the reality. If any of you’ll can go ahead and fight against apple for this mess they have created then please go ahead.

I swear to got the worst iphone ever battery health already 91% just after 8 months of having the phone. My iphone 6 was at 78% battery health after more than four years. Whereas this phone is not even going to last half the duration of my iphone 6. $1000 gone down the drain

Apple tells me that 12 pro should get about 10 hours of screen on time between charges. My use everyday is just whatsapp, safari and a few calls coming upto maybe 2.5-3 hours max per day. Apple says that these apps are causing significant drain on my phone. What the **** does this mean. These are the basic apps that everyone uses and if not this then how the hello can you say that phone can last 10 hours. Apple’s employees heads are empty just like you’ve heard empty vessels make the most noise. They just wanna try and divert the matter. Mother fcukers

I’m **** ****** with them. You be nice nothing happens so i know nothing’s gonna happen if i even speak like this. The company doesn’t even bother about what their producing. I feel I’ve paid a thousand bucks just for paper weight

I can't find anything specific in my contract and in my online portal and website of my provider. But I'm still having contact with Apple Support and they just don't know it anymore, they also advised to call my provider and check if anything changed.

So I'm gonna do that tomorrow, but on the 13th of October my new eSIM contract will activate but I still hope it's a configuration on their side or something because I had a good deal with this provider and I prefer to keep it, but not with this drain of course.

One thing is for sure, Apple Support can't and won't fix it, because the only thing they can do is advice you to reinstall your phone or send your phone for repair. Which I both did.

But whatever, lets focus on finding a solution, I hope I have an answer from my provider tomorrow.

Your right i too feel that the 13 pro is gonna have battery issues considering the new 120hz refresh rate display the better camera. I think even a bigger battery won’t be able to give good battery here

I'm on a 6s and, of course, don't have Face ID. But I've gone though all my settings and made some changes, but still my battery discharge rate is incredibly high. With the phone locked and nothing running, it's about 11% per hour.
