new iphone 13 and Battery draining fast!!!

Hello All,

i just got my brand new iphone 13, 128go (10 days from now) and i notice some strange battery behaviors

-battery level drops fast from 90% to 70% (literally while holding it for 30 min (mainly browsing and instagram) it drops gradually by 10%)

-and then after 70% it lasts much longer than that



NB: i disabled every possible thing that is known as battery drainer (aka location services, app background refresch ETC...)

what should i do? shall i return it back to the store?


12/04 update:

I was in a watssap video call, the battery was showing 74% and then after 15min of call and instagram at the same time, i had a pop up telling me to plug it because the battery is 20%

what the ****?


need help here plz?

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Try some of these options too.

  1. Avoid Screen Mirroring
  2. Put on Low Power Mode
  3. Put Auto Lock On (1 min):- with low power mode it will be 30 Sec
  4. Put Auto Answer Off
  5. Disable Push notifications for apps you do not use often
  6. Keep your iPhone Face down to prevent notifications to light up screen
  7. Enable Auto Brightness:- Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Auto-Brightness [Enable]
  8. Manually lower brightness from Control Center
  9. If you Want to watch continuous Video. Stream it on TV or a Monitor
  10. Don't force close apps; Apps which are not on frontend screen are paused by the system to save energy. Apps require more energy to re-launch. Apps which are open in the background use large memory is a myth and quitting them is counterproductive
  11. Location services to be allowed only while using the app
  12. Set your iPhone to fetch email and calendar data from internet less frequently
  13. Turning off Background App Refresh 
  14. Charge before it drops below 20-30%
  15. Try connecting to trusted Wifi where ever available in stead of Cellular
  16. Enable Airplane mode in areas with bad cellular and wifi coverage. Your phone keeps trying for reconnection with the missing / weak network. This uses lot of energy
  17. Switch off Wifi & Bluetooth while in Roaming or Not in Range
  18. Enable "Wifi Assist" : Settings > Cellular or Settings > Mobile Data > Wi-Fi Assist [Enable]
  19. Periodically Check your Battery Health (Settings > Battery > Battery Health)
