iPhone 14 Pro Max | Battery Drain & Device Warms Up

I bought an iPhone 14 Pro Max 2 days ago and ever since I first turned on the phone, I’ve constantly been noticing how warm this phone gets and how quickly the battery depletes. I had the iPhone 13 Pro Max before this and the battery on that device was phenomenal. I’m running iOS 16.2 on this and I only make calls and use WhatsApp/Insta on my phone.

On the first day, when the battery was depleting, I presumed it was because the phone was constantly restoring stuff/backing up stuff. Today however, everything has been sorted but the depletion continues along with the warmth. So much so that I charged this device all night and took it off charging around 11am when it was at 100%. It’s 6pm now and the battery is at 42%.

Is anyone else also experiencing this? What’s the solution? Saw all the videos and articles on the internet but it’s the same jargon I’ve been seeing since the inception of the iPhone - pointless. It’s pertinent to mention that I haven’t seen depletion this bad since the iPhone XS.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

this happened on my 14 pro. What I did was Turn off the always on display, which can be found in settings —> display. It didn’t solve the problem, but made it significantly better.

Please go through the following links.

iPhone Battery and Performance - Apple Support (IN)

Protect & Prolong the life of your iPhone's Battery: Batteries - Maximising Performance - Apple (IN)

Try some of these options too.

Avoid Screen Mirroring
Put on Low Power Mode
Put Auto-Lock on (1 min):- with the Low power mode it will be 30 Sec
Disable Push notifications for apps you do not use often
Keep your iPhone Facedown to prevent notifications to light up the screen
Enable Auto-Brightness:- Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Auto-Brightness [Enable]
When possible, manually lower the brightness from Control Center
If you want to watch continuous Videos/Movies. Stream it on TV or a Monitor
Don't force close apps; Apps that are not on the frontend screen are paused by the system to save energy. Apps require more energy to re-launch. Apps that are open in the background use large memory is a myth and quitting them is counterproductive
Location services may please be allowed only while using the app. Avoid the "Always" option wherever available
Set your iPhone to fetch email & Calendar data from the internet less frequently
Turning off Background App Refresh
Charge before it drops below 20-30%
Periodically Check the Battery Health (Settings > Battery > Battery Health)
