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.

Following up on my own post, I have talked to apple support on the phone 4 different times after taking my phone to an apple store prior to that. I had talked to 2 really nice women and finally, a really kind apple support agent said she would like to send me a replacement phone. My phone is up to date on the latest iOS. The battery continues to die extremely fast, I can get a full days use out of it only if screen time is about 4 hours.. the apple agent told me on a brand new pro max the battery should be lasting way longer than that DESPITE the logistics on the battery saying that the battery is totally perfect (background app refresh is off, and always on screen is off). She told me her husband has the exact same phone as me (256 GB storage and Natural Titanium color) and his lasts all day talking on the phone and screen time way higher. Not sure what happened in production.. why some phones are working and others are not doing well. The phone will get to me in a couple weeks and I will update again.

Just wanted to register to say the same thing. A one hour cellular call drains 17%, I've only had the phone a couple of weeks. Most wifi activity (streaming vids etc) seems fine, but making a regular call drains so much. I sometimes make several long calls in a day, so just three would drain over half of my battery.
