iPhone 14 Battery Drain Issues

For about two months, probably after upgrading the iOS my battery on my 14 Pro will drain 80% in eight hours with all apps closed and in airplane mode or with wifi or with cellular. It came on suddenly, and Apple support has no solutions. And Apple care has no way of knowing what apps or services that are actually running in the background that’s causing the drain.

I am still irritated that Apple did Not come out & just say- that the iOS updates caused the problems!! We all

knew it was them!!’But when I called them to ask about it - they wouldn’t admit it might be the upgrades. But there were so many people online that were having problems - I love my Apple products but lately the Apple

Corp is very disappointing ! Not the poor techs that work for them - but the higher ups! I am so glad that they have repaired it though!

I have had the I phone 14 Pro for 6 weeks tops and this is what is happening!!!!

Battery life will drains very fast I can not even go half a day without a charge the charge takes a very long time to get the phone back to 100 percent over an hour. I keep getting a message that the phone is over heating it is NOT in a hot location what so ever. The volume is all over the place it will not stay constant when it is up all the way I still can not hear it very well however when my ear buds are link the alarm’s for messages and so forth are deafening I have seen on the forum that I am not the only one with these problems!!! I am so disappointed with this phone! I have gone back and tried all of the suggestions and none of them have solved this phone’s problems please help!!!!

My battery is draining fast since I have updated the ios 16.5.1

can any one help to recover from this earlier I had no problems it is fine and working for minimum 24 to 26 hours backup know it is only 6 to 8 hours only

Likewise. Brand new 14 pro, all setup yesterday and 100% charged. Went to bed last night (not on charge). Woke up to find it very hot and the battery gone from 100% to 60%. It was in low power mode too.

I have been with Apple since long I haven’t faced this kind of issue since my iPhone 11 Pro I have used 11 pro ,12 pro max and 13 pro max and switched recently to 14 pro max exactly one month ago since day 2 I have noticed a battery issue it’s draining too fast how ever , like 2 days back I noticed my battery health dropped to 99 and today after visiting service center and just came out and checked the health it dropped to 98 I was shocked after seeing that I never faced this issue in my 13 pro max I have used 13 pro max( best battery life ) for almost 20 months what should I do now ?

Very simply Run the 13 pro right beside the 14 Pro max… The 13 will win easy!!

It’s so clear that the battery drains faster.

I currently have The 13 Pro Max and denied a free upgrade to the 14 Pro max. Unacceptable… this needs to be addressed by Apple!

I just got this phone maybe a month ago. My last new phone prior to this one was the 11 promax. When I first got the 11 promax I literally almost never had to charge it. It was amazing how long the battery lasted. Then about halfway through my ownership there was an iOS change and I've had battery problems ever since. I thought sure I was going to return it to my Halcyon days of barely having to charge, and that has so not been the case with this phone. It's not terrible like what people were describing with 16.5.1 I still had my 11 at that point so I don't know what that was like on this phone. But this phone clearly drains quickly even with pretty minimal usage. I don't know if it's the iOS or if anything can be done about it, but it's very disappointing.

for reference a 4 month old phone has drained 40% battery using only WhatsApp and reading the news in 2 h while sitting outside with no other apps running.

it’s actually complete garbage and @Apple should be embarrassed. I don’t know how they haven’t fixed / acknowledged this problem.

As of today in one month since my last response when I said 92%, today it’s at 89% Battery capacity. Apple has become a joke, extremely disappointed and never upgrading ever again. They’ll keep forcing people through some tactic to pay more as usual, bet they’ll raise the prices on battery replacements now. 🤡

I had the battery issues after the 1st

16 upgrades. Then they gave one that fixed it in my phone- but now I am having volume issues on my iPhone. People can't hear me talking, I sound garbled etc. I am hoping that after the latest upgrade that will help that but I am beginning to get nervous about upgrading also because if it isn't one thing it's another. And even with the battery issue on the phone, the Apple tech people were denying that they upgrade had anything to do with it. I don't blame them. They only work for Apple are told what to say. But it doesn't instill much trust in Apple does it? Is anybody else having any volume issues or anything with their phones?

Issue still persistent hoping ios 17 will fix it

Mate with that many tips might as well don’t even use your phone at all to prolong the battery life. This is absurd 😂 literally Disable everything

I am also irritated with Apple for their obvious "screw-up" with IOS 16.5... Glad the latest update fixed it!

Mine goes from 100% to 80% within a couple of hours now with all apps closed and no location tracking. This started about 1 month ago.
