iPhone 14 Pro Battery Draining Fast

We don't have the same apps, and likely not the same settings on our two devices. We likely don't have the same location services turned on. Or notification settings turned on. You may not have set up cellular services the same as I have. You need to isolate what's eating up your charge. And the best place to see that is Settings > Battery.

Keeping your screen in Dark mode helps a lot also if you have auto brightness on that will effect the battery as the screen is constantly adjusting depending on the light you are in. The new screen has the highest brightness and this can consume more battery than previous iPhone screens. Also if you have haptic feedback turned on that will also drain your phone as multiple notifications come through

when is the new ios coming out?

No one here in this user-to-user forum would know when Apple plans on releasing their next update to iOS 16.

A release date for iOS 17 had not yet been announced. In past years, new versions of iOS have been released in September.

Same

Spent Hours with a few Apple support staff. Did all the tests, everything is fine, software up to date, did all the troubleshooting but the issue persists. The rep finally told me it’s a lemon battery and since I have apple care I can get it replaced.

That was the first thing I did. Also every location service is turned off. Can we get a real solution please or we have to wait ages for the new version of iOS. This battery is unreal. If you are reading this do not buy the new iphone!!

My battery also drains so fast!!! I never had this problem with my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I didn’t have to charge it for 2 days before it died. My iPhone 14 pro max I have to make sure I charge it for sure every night. Even before night sometimes.

I can't remember which day I posted where my battery percentage was 94%, but I've yet to had a single day when my battery dipped below 86% by the time I went to bed around 11:30 PM.

It's really not difficult to monitor battery usage by app and make adjustments as necessary. For example, Facebook is a battery hog and using location services ON with Facebook can eat up your charge.

I’ve just gone from the iPhone 13 to the iPhone 14 pro and my battery is terrible. I’ve been on my phone for an hour and I’ve got 72%. When someone rings me it goes down quite a lot. Worse phone I’ve had. May change it

I figured out what was causing my particular battery problem, and it was kind of a strange phenomenon:

Looking at the battery chart in settings, I noticed that the excessive battery drain (3-5% per hour) always occurred between 8:30 AM and 6 PM, and only on days when I was at the office. I assumed it must probably be caused by a weak signal at work or something related to the building itself, and I just had to deal with it.

By accident (or dumb luck), I found out what it really was: with my 12 Pro Max, I was using a wireless charging stand on my desk, where I also put my 14 Pro into every morning, simply out of routine. Charging never worked though, probably because the case I have on my phone (UAG Plyo) is too thick. I never cared about it not charging anyway, it just looked neat sitting there.

The other day I left the office to grab lunch at noon. When I came back, I forgot the phone in my jacket. When I looked at the battery graph that evening, surprise, it stopped dropping exactly at noon, and that's when it hit me that that charging stand might have been the problem all the time.

The next day I just laid the phone on the desk, et voilà: everything was fine - it only used up 4-5% of charge throughout the whole day. Now my battery is still at 90-95% every day after being off the charger for 15 hours.

That's not helpful :). I use iPhones with "Find My (Phone)" for ~12 years and only now it decided to discharge over 1/4 of the capacity within 10 hours on it's own.

Strange that only now updating location of remote devices became so power hungry... ;)

I was having this battery drain issue overnight, where my battery would charge to 100% from 11 PM to about 2 AM, and then it would start draining to almost 80% despite still being on the charger. The battery section of Settings showed absolutely nothing was using the battery during that time.

Someone on here mentioned their wireless charger, and I realized I was using a qi MagSafe charger, not an Apple brand one though. So last night I tried charging using a different MagSafe charger and my problem went away! It charged up to 100%, still using adaptive charging, and stayed there all the way until I woke up. So if you were having us battery drain issue while using any sort of Qi charger, make sure you don’t have a defective one like me, and either use a lightning charger or a different one.

Is that with it charging overnight? Or just sitting there?

And if charging, what kind of charger?

My issue looked like it was find my, because that was the only thing that showed as using battery. But when I turned off Bluetooth in my settings, I got the same battery drain with nothing saying it was in use.

The last two-three days, the battery has started to discharge rapidly throughout the day.

Normally I'm down to approx. between 50-70% when I go to bed, but now it goes down to 15-20%, like my 5-6 year old iPhone X did because of its old battery.

I've hard rebooted and normal booted the iPhone 14 pro (iOS 16.2), and have now turned off most of the apps using 'always on' in the background.

Will see if anything changes.

Or; hopefully Apple pushes a new update optimized for the battery usage.

Yes. My IPhone 14 pro is also draining its battery wayyy too fast. I dropped 45% from a full charge in about 40mins just listening to pre-downloaded music on Spotify. Something I’ve done for years on my prior iPhones and never had this kind of trouble. Complete pain to pay this much money for a phone your expecting to be at least the same, but to only be massively disappointed.

Figure it out Apple !

I’m with you brother. For some reason Spotify with connected AirPods swallows the battery like crazy. I saw someone mentioning downgrading to 15.6 fixes the issue. If anyone has tried that please let us know :)
