iPhone 13 Battery Draining

I got the iPhone 13 when it first came out. Not even a year afterwards, the phone began getting hot, losing power, iOS was slow. Then, it just died. Even Apple Care couldn’t get it to turn on or get data from it. I had to get it completely replaced. It cost me nothing, but only because it was still under a year old and the issue was a manufacturing problem.

Me too. I started shutting down FB after Im done because the battery % showed it was up and above all apps. It has helped. Idk still seems like it is a bit too early to be drained sometimes. I’m checking to see if there is someone that is hacking my phone.

My 13 is not quite a year old, was purchased new, and in the past 48 hours the battery noticeably is not staying charged nearly as long as before. I have closed everything and followed a 15-point online checklist to improve things but it’s not. Battery health says 93, which isn’t awful, but within two days I’ve somehow gone from only having to charge once to charging three times in a single day. It’s ridiculous for the price paid and now they upped the replacement battery price to $70.

My previous phone was a refurbished 6S, and I replaced the battery after five years of use. I paid retail for this 13 and after barely one year the battery is declining. Not cool, Apple.

This is a new problem. I have an iPhone 13 Pro with IOS 16.5 recently installed. Battery drains from 100% to 22% within 3 hours just sitting unplugged on the counter and connected to WiFi. Background apps refresh turned off. Everything else set to use WiFi only. Mail notifications are on. Everything else is shut off. Battery health maximum capacity shows 95% so the battery seems to be relatively healthy. There seems to be a bug in the update if all else is unchanged.

I actually ran into the battery drain bug issue shortly after commenting here awhile ago, but a hard reset as a new phone seems to have fixed it so far. My battery doesn’t even drain past 45% after a full day of my normal use, versus nearly completely drained by lunch.

No, I had to erase all content and settings and set everything back up from scratch, including re-downloading apps (did not restore all settings from backup). I was able to get app info from iCloud though.

Since installing 16.5 on my 13 pro max I’ve been lucky to get 3-4 hrs battery life. I’ve changed every poss setting incl keeping BT turned off until I need it. What I did just notice is when my wifi was turned off last 2 days (at hotel w/unsecure network), my battery life was significantly better. Stayed around 70%. It’s certainly not a solution to do this but wondering if anyone else has tried this to see what the impact is.

I don’t want to have to do a hard reset for that reason alone.

A hard reset, AKA a forced restart takes less than five minutes. Why do you feel you need to avoid it?

Does Apple read this? Will they ever do anything about this?

This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Apple's participation here is minimal. So, no, they are not reading your posts. If you want to address your concerns with Apple directly, you can use the "Support" link at the bottom left of every page of these forums.

There is something called a soft reset also. Maybe I’ll give that a shot.

this is a Verizon phone even though I am no longer with them. I bought the phone from them so I’ll give them a call tomorrow and see what they have to say.

You can either restart the phone by shutting it off in the normal way. Or, you can do a forced restart. I have no idea what you mean by a "soft reset".

Look at this same problem from last update, battery is draining like crazy. Iphone 13 and 13 mini same problem with Mobile Covarage.

No one is hacking your phone unless you gave your phone to someone for an hour or so and also provided them with your Apple ID and Password.
