iPhone 12 battery draining fast

It's two different carriers.

I've already been through the process with Apple support. Their remote diagnostics verdict was "all in order" and I was directed to the store. A very inexperienced person there gave me all sorts of basic advices, 80% of them actually wrong (I am in a position to judge since ICT is my own area of professional expertise). Almost all of these advices involved shutting off or crippling functionality which was the reason for my iPhone purchase in the first place.

I meant to say how do you deactivate it or turn it off....but I already figured it out and it did not change my battery issue. My battery is not draining as fast as some people in this forum but it’s draining as fast as my iPhone 8 did after having it for 1.5-2 years. I just bought my iPhone 12 four days ago.

Just throwing my name in the hat here as another long-time Apple/iPhone user that is experiencing concerning levels of battery loss when the phone is doing absolutely nothing... I hope this gets fixed soon.

Honestly, two devices later (iPhone 12 Pro Max) and after all these updates I’m still experiencing crazy drain, even when connected to WiFi 95% of the time.

If this isn’t addressed in iOS 14.5, I’ll be selling this rubbish and migrating to Samsung because I don’t appreciate the silence from Apple and their inability to admit/address this issue.

I just got the phone 20 days ago and have been experiencing the same issue. IT and the cell phone salesperson keep telling me that my expectation for the new iPhone 12 Pro battery is too high and I should charge it overnight every day!

So I just got the iPhone 12 Pro this Monday gone and I don’t understand how I’m losing battery it was 10% last night I turned it off, I booted it up just now and it glitched out like the logo went on then on straight away took a good 2 mins to turn it on and I looked at the battery and it’s got 36%, it’s has 100% battery health I’ve never experienced a phone that dies within 6 hours of it being on it’s has to be software issues or an battery issue need fixed I’m unsure on what to do should I take it in and see if they can fix it or ask my mobile provider for a new phone or replace this one

Really disappointed with iPhone 12 mini battery. Upgraded and gave my wife the old IPhone with excellent battery life of over over a day after 2 years heavy use. Fully charged the version 12 last night and by 7:30 this morning it was at around 55%. Unless the dog has been using it in the night I would suggest battery is naff. Have always been reluctant to move to another phone but month with this phone and I feel Apple has had its day. Reading all the comments I find it incredible that there has not been a recall on this model. Anyone thinking of upgrading to this phone should stay put til the issues are sorted. I was told by my contract provider not to take the 5G option until some bugs were ironed out so god only knows how the battery will fair then. The fact the phone doesn’t come with a charger now is slightly ironic.

There's nothing to recall; you don't like the battery life and it appears you haven't bothered to do anything to diagnose it and don't use low battery mode.

Note the charger thing is a new standard; the Samsung Galaxy S21 family of phones no longer come with a charger, either.

The Verge: Samsung’s Galaxy S21 phones come with plenty of features — but not a charger

update carried out here, still the same old problem.

charged to 100% this morning,

2hours 10 screen time throughout the day and by 7pm it’s at 10%.

my old iPhone XR which got 6 hours screen time today was still on 60%.. they were sat right next to each other all day.

very frustrating

Same here... I don't know what Apple is playing at... I am quite lost already with all the updates but basically one of the updates improved the issue and with the latest one, back to square one...

I just feel stupid I paid so much money for it and I am not happy at all. And Apple does not want to do anything...

The problem here is we should keep reporting this issue to them but anytime they said nothing is wrong.

Yes I just bought mine 12 pro max on 3rd of may and it’s 15th of the same month and whenever I remove everything’s from bg also the battery drains itself without using iam so confused with it I never experienced this on mine earlier iPhones...

Hi Community,

I got a brand new iPhone 12 (5 days old) and want to ask if my battery drain is normal? After a very long time with Android I'm new to the apple universe so I hope to hear opinions of ppl who have more experience than me:

After a day on work my battery shows about 60 - 68 % and imo I didn't used it too often, just safari and settings mostly, is this normal? It seems my old smartphone had more endurance (Huawei P30 Pro).

I literally did everything (black mode, settings etc.) to have a long battery life and because of this I'm unsure if this is normal.

I booked a genius bar appointment as soon as restrictions were lifted a bit in the UK.

They run diagnostics, nothing wrong.

Check the battery chart and said it is normal

She said iPhone 12 was the newest and she was not aware of any people having issues with it. When I saw her this thread and many others, she said there is nothing wrong with the phone and if I wanted something to be done with it, I will be charge.

I am interested to know what is your experience with your appointment. Keep us posted please

I also have this issue

my iPhone 12 pro is just giving me just the same time as my old iPhone 7 with 79% battery health with same applications.

I thought I want to say goodbye to my powerbank but he is still with me, why is this APPLE ??

Hi Colin, I completely agree with the fact that apple is keeping quiet about this issue. They act as if nothing has happened. I was on call today with a senior employee and in complained about overheating and battery. She told me to measure thr temperature of the device with a thermometer. Please can anyone explain this silly logic to me. If this is the level of apple employees, the company’s future can already be decided. She told me that the issue would be escalated to the engineering issue but I shouldn’t expect a different answer and the answer by the engineering department is completely. A 35 minute call consumed 11% and the senior employee says that it’s normal. This is really stupid on part of the employee because if one considers this as normal on a iphone 12 then what is definition of drain in your dictionary. Apple this is very irresponsible and unprofessional on your part. This the worst experience i have had with an iPhone. I may never consider buying an iphone ever. This is the worst gesture by a billion dollar company and I’m sure apple is going to lose a major market due to this faulty lineup of the iPhone 12 which they are not willing to claim.
