There’s at least three problems that they know about if you bring the phone to Apple they’re gonna act like they don’t know anything one of the text came up to me and said it’s going to need another update or two… also some of the phones after three days the battery gets used to the charging and it stops getting warm while charging which mine has done but at eight 8 o’clock in the morning my phone is at 100% for my iPhone 15 Pro Max and by 12 in the afternoon I’m down to 69% and by 5 o’clock I’m at 40 my 14 Pro Max hundred percent at 8 AM all day long at 9 PM it would be on 50%… I can almost guarantee that when they start making the phones for the next batch, some of the problems gets fixed, this is what happens when we all buy the first ones. I should’ve waited till the end of November.

Installed 17.0.3 last night. Charged to 100% + 30 extra minutes, took at off the charger at midnight. It may not run hot, nothing else has changed. Battery is down from 100% to 35% in less than 10 hours while doing absolutely nothing. All apps closed. All my phone did was sit still on my nightstand. Always on off. All apps closed.



This is ridicilous. My 2 year old 13 Pro Max lasted 2 days EASY with (my) normal usage. I am very much not happy right now. Spent €1400 on a pocker heater and now it won't even heat my pocket anymore.

The problem with this "solution" or "test", as many others I've come up with, is that it takes a day or 2 to go through a full cycle. Tomorrow I've had my phone for 14 days and though I'm sure Apple will swap it if it turns out to me a lemon, I'm getting tired of trying all kinds of things. This shouldn't be necessary. It's a €1400 euro device, for that kind of money I expect it to work. Flawlessly. Like all my other phones since the iPhone 3 did. There can be a very complex interplay of factors that cause this issue which can be incredibly hard to debug. But I also don't feel like going through days, or even weeks, of trying to troubleshoot and figure out this issue myself. I've spent literal days by now trying to get my phone to have a decent batterylife and I'm very, VERY, close to giving up, getting in my car and go be angry in an Apple store and demand a swap. Now. Because I'm fed up with it. Nevertheless, thanks for trying to help. Much appreciated.
