One week old iPhone 14 draining battery

My iPhone is dropping battery fast without heavily using. I don’t think so that this should look like this. What can I do maybe return phone to warranty?

I don’t see anything unusual about a battery dropping by 40% over the course of a day. If anything, that is much better than the average for an iPhone.


The absolute best way to get maximum use on a charge, as well as slow the decline of battery capacity long term is to enable Optimized Battery Charging (Settings/Battery/Battery Health) and charge the device overnight, every night. The battery will fast charge to 80%, then pause. During the nighttime pause the phone will use mains power instead of battery power, allowing the battery to “rest”, and thus reducing the need to charge the battery quite as often. The phone will resume charging to reach 100% when you are ready to use your phone; it will “learn” your usage pattern. If you enable iCloud Backup (Settings/[your name]/iCloud - iCloud Backup) the phone will back up overnight also, assuring that you can never lose more than the current day’s updates.
