iPhone 14 Pro Battery Draining Fast

Anybody have a clue why the iPhone 14 pro battery is draining like a Samsung? My 13 pro and 13 pro max battery was so much better.. I’m lucky to get through the day with the new 14 pro battery!! What’s going on? Is this because of the new always on display?

I’ve noticed the same thing too. My battery on my 12 Pro was a lot better than this 14 Pro. I did notice after the new update came out that my 12 Pro was feeling it with staying good on the battery.


I have gone through and turned off everything that could drain this phone battery and same thing. I did notice when I was away from home turning on low power mode did help a bit but not 100%. Hoping Apple does something for this since I recently traded in my 12 Pro already.

My phone is a couple of days old. All of the transfers have been fully downloaded. Yesterday on the way back to the house, two our drive, It was almost dead after playing a couple of albums. Today, fresh charge, I woke up as usual around 6:15, checked email, social media and some news, set it down and got the kid around, made breakfast, coffee, etc. Went back to the phone and it was at 80%! I've already turned off a lot of features such as the always on clock, etc. Tonight after a short charge, had dinner sat down and it was dead and super hot! WTF is going on?!

I have the 14 Pro, I come from a XS Max with 90% life battery left. The battery on my 14 Pro is really bad compared to my XS. Its definitely lower at the end of the day and I am not using it that much. I understand that I have 120hz and always on display now but to me that doesn’t feel right. I didnt change the way I use the phone.I can see that I am not alone. I hope they can fix this with updates.

Right. I got my iPhone 14 pro on first day itself and the way the battery is draining is surprising. I did a trade in with my XS and trust me my XS has better battery backup. I have turned off all the features and using low power mode though out the day. When I had a call with Apple Care executive, she said there is no problem with my battery (after sharing the diagnosis report). This is really bad

also, I have already done a reset of the phone on the 3rd day but no luck.

No it is not impossible. The iPhone 14 series claims to have much better battery life than older phones, and a lot of the people I work and communicate with have found that to be true.


What can cause battery drain in an iPhone 14 is a weak 5G signal. My T-Mobile phone has a switch option to automatically go to LTE if the 5G energy use is excessive.
