iPhone 14 Pro Battery Draining Fast

i just got my phone 14 pro 2 days ago , and lást night I charged it full till 9.30pm , I used (checking Facebook )it till 10pm . When I woke up 7am 91%,and 8.30am already 83% (only send text message and checking Facebook ) . My previous 13 pro never drain like this fast .

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.

We have iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, which seemingly are also blessed by the same wizard as Lawrence. My phone has been used a lot today since about 7:30 AM EST and at 8:30 PM EST, my battery is 84% on the 14 Pro Max and 81% on the 14 Pro. I'm finding the battery life on our 14 Pro's comparable to the 13 Pro's which preceded the 14's.

I agree with skiadt. My iPhone 14 Pro arrived yesterday and is still undergoing issues, one of which is battery charging and draining. My iPhone 11 Pro had significantly increased battery drain after switching from IOS 15 to 16. I am not a heavy user and on IOS 15 the battery would drain about 15% per day. With IOS 16 the drain increased to over 30% per day, despite switching all the electives off and using dark mode. My iPhone 14 Pro used about 40% in the last six hours with most everything but wifi and bluetooth off. Wireless charging with thin case makes the unit quite warm and I am going to switch back to lightning to charge it. Not set up for MageSafe charging, yet.

Indexing for 3 weeks? I’ve network reset, restored from a backup and done everything imaginable with crap battery.

No, of course not. If your battery is not holding up well, have your phone checked at the Genius Bar. The battery in my 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max are simply amazing.

I have the same problem with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. It’s so frustrating! I unplugged my iPhone with 100% battery at 8:25 AM, 02:46 PM I have 15% of battery. None of this happened with my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I have the same apps that I had on the older iPhone. Today I even turned off always on display but same problem, it doesn’t help at all. I have around 3 hours of usage from 08:25.

There have been complaints about battery life after every one of the iOS updates that have come out over the past 15 years. The sad fact is that there are about 6 billion smartphones in use around the world, and 6 billion users are unhappy with their battery life.

Here is a long analysis of what to do about it→The last update killed my battery! - Apple Community

Where did I say it was 3rd party apps? And daemons, by their very nature, are invoked by apps, so ultimately it is the apps that are driving data use.

I did leave out one non-app factor: cellular network use of energy to maintain contact with the world. But that isn’t under Apple’s control either; that is 100% dependent on how near your connection (tower) to the network is to you.

I’ve read all this conversation because after nearly two weeks with my iPhone 14 Pro and i can’t understand how the battery can be that bad. My gf has an iPhone 13 not even Pro and her battery is way better than mine.

If I followed correctly the issue is coming from an app. I’ve deleted YouTube a few days ago because it was apparently draining the battery. But since then nothing has changed. iPhone is overheating while charging and battery is disappearing !

I’ll let you with a screenshot of my battery usage this night. We are not talking about a “normal 20% battery loss overnight” here but a drain from 60% to 19% from doing nothing !! Always on display is even turned off… I’m really curious about the solutions you could think of !

Hi there,

I have also a brand new iPhone 14 pro and I am facing a bad battery performance.

I use my phone with 3hours screen on time before reaching 50% battery..

A colleague of mine has the same phone and can use 3hours his iPhone before getting…… 80% battery remaining !

He used his backup. On my side, I have made a fresh clean install without installing too much apps, also I don’t’ have photos (all on my NAS) and not so much files so indexation should not be the root cause.

The problem should not be the phone because my battery performance is the same as on my iPhone 13…

I have tried everything, install as new, restore with DFU mode, disabling some features but nothing to do.

I really do not understand.

i just upgraded to an iPhone 14 Pro, have the latest updates installed and experienced the battery drain problem. I was off wifi for the first time, but this is what my battery stats looked like…clearly the drain started once I was on cellular, but the app data on battery usage is either broken or Apple has a bug with Contacts. Hopefully they identify the issue soon.

100% agree. Same configuration (restored backup), same apps, same settings, same usage patterns and noticeably worse battery life. Initially upon switching to iPhone pro from a 13 Pro Max this was dramatic. So much so I returned the Pro. After updating to one of the iOS 16 point releases I did notice a hit to the iPhone 13 battery life as well but not to the same degree. It was fine after the initial upgrade to 16. Now I’m on a 14 Pro Max and the battery again sucks. Would love to be one of those that says it’s incredible but that’s not me. Hoping an update improves it.

You're right. But by large numbers, do you mean the 7 measly pages on this thread? Out of the Millions upon Millions upon Millions of users who now own iPhone 14 Pro models, one would think the largest and most posted to forum in the world about all things Apple iPhone would be flooded if there were "large numbers" of users having battery life issues. The number of posters here, in relation to the number of users out there are totally statistically insignificantly small.

That doesn't mean some aren't having an issue. Sure there are some. There have been users complaining about battery life on every model iPhone I can recall. But that doesn't mean Apple has an issue on their hands. An issue would be pretty much universal and effect way more than the few people complaining here.

And no, you can not say all the users are using the same apps and the same settings in the exact same way on their iPhones as proof of anything. There are so many variables in play here. Distance from a cell tower, being one of the most important. Corrupt data being brought over from a backup is another. Apps running in the background to amount of time used on each app is another variable, which you cannot measure for every other user.

This is not to minimize anyone's personal experience. You just can't suggest a "large number of people" are having the same experience you or anyone else is having.

it took 3 hours to drain 50% while phone was off and even the screen is turned off (no always on display) - that’s one decade old customer seriously thinking to ditch iPhones now

also check the last charge to 63% was past 10:30 am and it’s past 2:30p - down to 3%
