iPhone 14 Pro Battery Draining Fast

You’re welcome. Sorry to hear the rest of it didn’t help! Sounds like it may be a software issue and I would be surprised if Apple doesn’t patch things up quickly for its flagship phone. I (fortunately) don’t have these issues with my 14 Pro but did with my 13 mini, and these tips helped a lot. But then, that phone always had a much smaller battery with worse battery life.

On low power mode, iOS reduces the maximum refresh rate of the display from 120 to 60 hz to save battery, so it makes sense that it would look like an iPhone 8 (or actually any iPhone other than a 13 Pro or 14 Pro). But I agree that’s not ideal and Apple needs to get the battery fixed since so many people are reporting issues. If you haven’t already, leave Feedback to accelerate this to Apple’s engineers so they can get it fixed. The more people leave feedback the better.

There are a growing number of people making the same complaint, but this forum is users, not Apple. You need to lodge a call with Apple support, or they may never know, further, if all the people who have posted here were to raise calls, they may escalate it from hearsay to actual problem.

... Just saying ...

I have been struggling with this problem on my 14 Pro Max since 16.1. Have really tried everything.

No chance.

No, it is not 5G as some here tell, it is a system bug.

One time it's Lockscreen, one time it's Find my IPhone and so alternating.

50% battery consumption per night with zero use, of course in Wifi.

Perhaps it's time to remind ourselves that this is

"A forum where Apple customers help each other"

and if you are one of the users who are experiencing catastrophic reductions in battery life, then you MUST go to Apple Support and have them investigate.

It IS possible for there to be a faulty battery out there. If so, Apple will replace it, without question, but grumbling within this forum will achieve nothing to actually help, apart from many sensible opinions about how to look for rogue applications and turn off power hungry applications.

If you have a real Problem - take it to Apple

(And please report back on the outcome if you do!)

What does Settings -> Battery show is using most of your battery?

I don’t see anything like you describe with my 14 Pro Max.

Since you got it last week, you can return it for a full refund.

Plus if you don't have time right now to narrow down what it may be, Low Power mode works beautifully:

Use Low Power Mode to save battery life on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Shut down youtube and music. Don't allow them to set cookies.

I also suspected a rouge app, so when I looked at purchases from about three days time ago, I installed a ski pass app. I've deleted it now, and will see if that fixes it.

You cut off the most useful part - what does it show is using the battery?

Here’s mine. Let me know if you figure out something. Low power mode fixes the issue a little.

I’m not certain but yesterday there was an article online that stated how Apple has an updated a support document about the new iOS 16 haptic keyboard feedback, noting that using it could impact battery life. Have no info other than that, but that could be the cause. Unsure because I’ve only personally been using iOS 16 for a few days myself.

I’m starting to believe this is related to iOS 16 - I returned my iPhone 14 Pro and instead ordered a Pro Max as I was missing my 13 Pro Max screen (and battery life) - now that my 13 pro max is running the latest iOS 16 with updates, I’ve noticed the battery life is significantly worse than it was before these updates.

I’m not talking about the case of leaving it on overnight but rather referring to the general sentiment some are claiming that normal usage patterns that preexisted release of the new models in which many are now experiencing a dramatic decrease in battery life when they over to the new phone when changing nothing else. It just seems like fan boy speak while minimizing what so many seem to be experiencing- myself included. I returned my iPhone 14 Pro and went back to my 13 Pro Max but have also noticed a serious drop in battery life on iOS 16 with the last few point releases so perhaps it’s a software issue.

With all due respect but have you been living under a rock for every other previous iOS or hardware release? If I’m not mistaken, there have historically been PLENTY of other iOS releases and incremental updates with Apple’s own release notes stating they address battery life issues. An inherent bug in the OS and/or hardware vs OS and hardware interaction that could impact battery life outside of a problem with a 3rd party app.
