iPhone 14 Pro Battery Draining Fast

Apple should fix this ASAP and make us feel worth the penny. Else it’s gonna hit future market.

Have you told Apple you're having a problem? Have you contacted support (link at the bottom left of every page of this forum)? Have you submitted feedback?

Look at your Battery statistics to see what may be causing it.

If you don't see anything obvious, you may want to have your phone examined.

What you describe is not normal.

Last night when I went to sleep, my 14 Pro was fully charged. When I woke up it was at 32%. What the heck is going on.

Unless you turn the phone off, it's still doing things. Without knowing more about what was using the battery overnight and what your cellular signal was like, your question is impossible to answer.

Best practice is to plug your phone in at night before you go to bed.

For the last 2 nights my battery has drained from 60% to 0% overnight! I’ve only had my 14 pro max for 4 months. Could someone please help?

There are certainly reasons that could happen. But my first question is, why aren't you charging your phone overnight?

Well, I can think of a dozen reasons, but without troubleshooting I can’t do more to pin it down. I had rather poor battery performance with my XR, but my 14’s battery performance is outstanding, using less than 25% of the battery energy in an average day.

Things to check:

• Top of the list is VPN. If you use it and just migrated it over from your old phone I would guess that’s about a 90% probability of being the problem. Delete the profile and app. Then reinstall them. Better yet, don’t reinstall them, because VPN does nothing useful except expose you to identity theft by the VPN provider.
• Facebook is the world’s largest energy hog.
• Misconfigured account on your carrier’s side - call them to have your account reconfigured.

Lots of other solutions have been posted in this thread, so it would be helpful to read the other posts.

1. Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Display & Text Size.

• Auto-Brightness: This setting automatically adjusts the screen brightness for current light conditions using the built-in ambient light sensor.

turn it off

usually when in various light conditions the ambient sensor will adjust the screen brightness to give you the best possible view of your screen. unfortunately this does consume some battery life & effect the overall percentage you will have left.

Always-On Display has the potential to drain your iPhone 14’s battery life.

The feature is on by default but if you don’t need it, you might try turning it off to see if your phone’s battery life improves. Here’s how to do that:

• Go to Settings
• Tap on Display & Brightness.
• Scroll down to Always On and turn Always-On display off or on.

What I have done:

• activated location services ( in system services turn off all except Emergency calls, setting time zone and share my location)
• Turn off find my phone
• detect and remove widgets that turn on location services.

now my battery is much better.

3-4% each night. (without Wi-Fi or data on)

7-8 hours using iPhone 14 pro.

good luck.

I do not think that the always on display is the problem, even without this mode the battery discharges abnormally fast the problem is the screen ON and the adaptation. we can see when the screen is active the battery discharges directlyauto brightness

Lawrence,

unless your phone is blessed by a wizard that seems impossible. I am jealous. My phone went from 100%-35% in a matter of 4 hours today with light use. Had to charge it again which is crazy to me.

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.

Can someone tell me if 2% of standby drain per hour is normal on a 14 Pro Max with AOD on, and on WIFI.

First day it dropped maybe 1% per hour/90 minutes with AOD, setup as new without backup.

Second day installed my most important apps and paired my Apple Watch and since then the standby drain is just bad.

Worse than on my two year old 12PM with older battery and a lot more apps installed.

First day: Sleepmode ended at 9:00->display on

Since then:

For reference, this is my two year old 12PM just sitting on the desk at the moment, other simcard, same carrier.

More Apps installed, but no Apple Watch paired.

with the AW paired, battery live was slightly worse, but not cut by 50% like on the 14 PM.

My iPhone 14 Pro battery life is fantastic! I’ve never had any phone this good. I charge overnight, and end the day above 60%. The image below is at 3 PM, after using the Personal Hotspot for 2 hours and the activity app for over an hour. 40% of the battery use was for the personal hotspot on 5Guc. My current SoC is 71%.

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 !
