iPhone 13 Pro battery draining overnight

I got an iPhone 13 pro a few days ago.


When I leave my home for work at 8 am, the phone is at 100%. When I come back at 8 pm the phone is at 65% which is fine. I am using it mostly to listen music with spotify, listen some podcasts and some internet browsing.


When I come home, I'm charging it until midnight. At midnight, the phone is at 100% and I unplug it.

Yesterday morning at 7 am, the phone was about 45%. I heard that spotify consumes more resources with iOS15 so I have disabled background refresh for spotify .

Yesterday I redo the same thing but I have closed all applications and restart the phone.

This morning the phone was about 53%.

I need to replug my phone during one hour to get a full battery


The phone is consuming more battery during the night doing nothing.


At home, the phone is in the same room with two homepod minis, an ipad pro and with a 12 pro max. I migrate my data from the 12 pro max to the 13 pro.

At the office, there is no apple products.

I have the last version of ios installed on the phone

Mario49,


Why the crap do you constantly “answer” questions that have a lot of detail with links to subject related “Q&A” posts by apple that clearly won’t help at all based off of the details already provided?


My guess is you are either:

A: A somewhat advanced spambot that looks for keywords then posts a generic comment linking any unhelpful Q&A pages that have the same keywords.

B: Someone who cares more about how many questions they “answered” than actually helping the person asking the question.

I bought my iphone 13 pro 7 months ago.

From the date of purchase since few days back my iphone’s battery was working perfectly. But suddenly it has started draining too earlier. I have to recharge my phone’s battery twice in 24 hours. I am feeling might be after upgradation to OS 15.5, my battery is behaving like this.

Please advise in this regard.

i would be really thankful.

The issue is clearly connected to the cellular networking. If I turn airplane mode on before bed, the battery level is reduced by a mere 3-4% during the night; otherwise, it can be as high as 35%. What's not clear if it is only affecting iPhones with eSIM installed. Also, there is a high probability the battery drain depends on how weak your cellular signal is. Usually it's 2-3 bars for me, LTE. One bar would be devastating to the battery.


It is definitely cellular modem firmware or iOS software issue. Apple must take action in fixing it.

i recently got an iphone 13 pro. not sure if it had to do with the last update, which was even more recent, but i noticed i was losing around 15 to 18% charge overnight even though i put it in airplane mode when i go to sleep. i even tried turning off all background refresh before going to bed and no difference. i did a reset all settings and so far it's been good.

Update 3:

I read somewhere that if the phone is powered off and still drains around 20% the next morning then it may be a hardware issue such as a short circuit or loose wire in the phone. In my case, it does drain when powered off. I took it to the Apple Store and explained the situation the third time. They ran their diagnostics and kept saying it’s fine and everything is looking good. I was adamant about it because something is definitely wrong. They did a repair and FOUND that the camera wiring to the circuit wasnt connecting. It was indeed a hardware issue after all. They replaced pretty much everything but the screen. And voila, battery issue was solved. No more draining at all.

Guys, if your phone still drains when powered off even after a factory restore (without restoring back up or logging into icloud), I really believe it’s a hardware issue of some sort. Hope for the best for y’all. Good luck.
