iPhone 12 battery draining fast

I recently upgraded last month to an iPhone 12 and 1/2 way through the day weather I’m on my phone or not I have to recharge it. Even if it’s fully charged it drains throughout the night. The iPhone 11 I had I didn’t have to charge until nighttime. The battery life was great. This iPhone 12 battery drains even when not in use. I’m not sure what my options are. I’m hoping Apple can fix this problem.

Apple during their events, always mention that this year’s Iphone’s will surive for an X number of extra hours when compared to the old iphone’s, but this year apple didn’t mention anything like that this year. They just said that that iphone 12’s battery life with various options like video streaming, audio playback etc.

I also wanted to know if anyone has encountered this weird pattern of drain where the phone doesn’t fall a single percent when being used and then the next pick up you will suddenly see the battery is dropped by 3% and again you may use the phone for like 5 min and no drain and the next pick up after that another 3% is gone. This ideally happens once my phone is around 40%

Yes, but this happens all the time. Just idle drain once use after the initial charge . I have no drain for about 30 -40 mins then just starts draining. I have given up n will just charge my phone more often. The stress of trying to figure it out is too much.

which phone are you currently using and does it last you more than a day because you said your usage is very light. I have a 12 problem that last’s me for two days but with just 3-4 hours of screen on time. Camera and LTE consume a lot of battery for me approximately 1% for every 1-2 minutes of usage on LTE or usage of camera which is very bad. If the camera consumes 1% every min then why do i even use the camera. Even the camera causes to phone to heat up real quick.

Interesting theory.

I have three wifi networks. Same as Mac hasn’t been an issue, but I’ll throw in “is the Mac charging/online while it’s asleep”

I will try it this week with an iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11, iPhone 12, and 12 Mini (in associated with a Mac) to see.

They’re probably just playing around with you and wasting your time. As long as you close the app and don’t have background app refresh on it any app cannot have any background activity. Its just a fault with the iphone and nothing else. This is just apple’s game to keep their sales unaffected. They aren’t going to rectify it. Even if you prove that the app isn’t causing battery drain and the problem gets escalated to the engineering department I’m sure they will say that the phone has no problem. They even told me the same thing.

I have the same problem. I’m at the point of returning it and getting an iPhone 11 Pro. I also have trouble with the touch screen. Idk if anyone else does. I can tap away sometimes snd nothing happens. I hate the 12 pro

I had that same problem with the touchscreen on my 12 Pro Max. The Apple Store refused to replace the device under warranty, arguing that since the issue was intermittent, I could still use my phone at least some of the time. Apparently, that’s completely acceptable for an $1100 product.

The problem was that the oleophobic coating had worn off (this is the first time I’ve ever had this happen, upgrading my device every year). So I went and bought a bottle of Crystal Armor to restore the oleophobic coating, and my touchscreen has been performing normally once again.

This is the worse iPhone I’ve ever had. Battery drains so fast. My touchscreen doesn’t work half the time and upload are so slow. Thinking of getting a refund and asking for 11 pro. Never had a problem with it.

My screen doesn’t come on especially when I’m on a call. If I’ve been on a call and i wanna mute myself for a minute I’m unable to because the screen doesn’t come on that minute. Its really frustrating.

It's not just the iPhone 12, everyone. I have the 11 Pro Max and I've been experiencing severe battery drain as well. Woke up this morning with a 100% battery. Took it off the charger, didn't even use it, then when I began my online class a few hours later, I noticed it had dropped nearly 10%, just sitting there doing nothing. My 11 Pro Max is about a year old and has always stayed on 100% for several hours until I finally see it dropping.

It's ridiculous that they come out with all these updates that do absolutely nothing but mess up your battery life. Don't they have beta testing before they come out with these horrible updates? If all of us are experiencing these battery drains, then they can't say they are isolated issues. I really hate my iPhone right now. It's pointless to have one if they keep messing up each update to drain your battery. I would much rather NOT have new features or tweaks and a battery that lasts all day.

I used to charge my 11 Pro Max once every 2 - 2 1/2 days. Now I am charging every single day as I actually watch the battery drop. Is this the throttling that I've heard about to get me to buy a new device?

I have a Pro Max To just bought and my battery doesn’t last 6 hours of use. I don’t know if I have a defective unit or not, I am very disappointed but I have to charge my battery at least 2 to 3 times a day. Any suggestions? Should I return this unit?

They say there’s no issue with the battery and i must no compare my phone to other devices as each user is different and so the way the battery is consumed is different. I want to know if this graph is ok if use the phone on LTE throughout the day?

I’ve got the same situation as you but like I’ve got used to it because like 2-2.5 hours a day i can get my 12 pro to last for like 2 days with a little more than 4 hours of screen on time. I’ve come from an iphone 6 but I’m pretty sure that that 2 hours of screen on time the battery shouldn’t drop to 70. Ideally how much battery should be consumed after two hours of screen on time?
