iPhone 14 Battery Draining after update

Yeah I can relate. I got a brand new iPhone 14 in January of 2022 and noticed battery draining and also glitching screen and shaky screen. Also my iPhone 8 I had a battery draining problem.

My iPhone 14 pro is dying so fast right now. So much for a $1k phone….

Backing up and restoring does no good apple should take it and repair as it’s their issue it’s a camera module

Mine is about the same, it will randomly drain in the middle of the night when on the magnetic charger (wondering if that is the issue but its random like once a week?).

Then sometimes during the day kind of after lunch it will get hot and drain while not using it or even having it on.

I agree, I go to bed with more than 50% battery and wake up today with 1% left. Bought this 14pro at Best Buy in April, it’s been a not so good experience with battery from day one and has gotten horribly worse. I’m not a phone junkie, a few times a day message ect.

If I go back to Best Buy they said I don’t have Apple care but their TOTAL care from BB. They’ll keep the phone for days to evaluate- so I’m living with the aggravation. Who can leave a phone for that period of time

I don’t know if the Apple Store will touch this if I don’t specifically have the Apple care.

Has this been your experience with this process, that performing a backup and restoring does not fix the battery drain issue, or are you only saying this because it shouldn’t be necessary for you to do this to get your battery to retain a charge as it should?

Your welcome I was experiencing the same issues as you and couldn’t figure out why a top of the range phone couldn’t hold a charge since it has been repaired the battery life is unbelievable so it was an Apple issue and they sorted it promptly and said if it didn’t work they would give me a new phone. They also said it was one in a thousand that had that issue to me that seems quite high with the millions that Apple sell

Thank you for the information, I’m going to attempt to back it up on my laptop by creating a new iTunes account. I don’t have an iPad system just a regular laptop /windows.

Same issue happened last night, I had it fully charged at 9:30pm and at 5 o’clock this morning it had drained from 100% down to 56% by just sitting there sleeping overnight. (The night before it went from 52% down to 1% by just sleeping overnight.)

There’s definitely a problem here it’s just getting worse so I have an appointment at the Apple store on Wednesday and I hope they can figure out what’s going on with it without having to keep it for very long.

My 13 pro max (1.5 yrs iold) is now down to 88% battery health. Since Apple recommends replacing battery when it’s below 80%, I only have 8% battery life left. The bal due on cost of this iPhone will outlive its health. Not a good look Apple.

Yes your right some things work some things don’t some things they don’t want to tell us either just like the battery draining scandal a few years ago they didn’t want us to know they were playing funny games with that also and we all ended up with new batteries with that fiasco

There was no "battery-draining scandal". The issue was that, in order to prevent phones with already failing batteries from shutting off abruptly, depriving users of a phone they might need in an emergency, Apple throttled those phones with older batteries. Apple's big failure, what they got in all the trouble for, was in not communicating this more clearly. In response, Apple lowered the price of replacement batteries for a couple of years and refunded people who paid above that amount. Did Apple make a mistake? Yes. Were they doing something bad to people's batteries? No. Does what really happened make a much less exciting story? Absolutely.

Suppose we will never know the truth will we. At end of the day they rectified it and I got a new battery and another 2 yrs out my phone 😄and I can’t fault Apple for their service for dealing with my phone problems over the years.

Almost every iPhone 14 pro and max versions are having battery draining issue…

Apple has sold millions of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models. That was almost a year ago. How do you know "almost every" one of them is having a battery-draining issue? Please cite a source for data to back that assertion.

ive only had mine 2 weeks and its draining very fast for it being new, just typing this i dropped 2%

Yes that was helpful!

Thank you kindly for sharing your experience.
