iPhone 15 Pro Battery Drain Issue

Hey guys! Got my iPhone 15 Pro also 3 days ago and very upset with the battery capacity.

fullu charged at 7am when I wake up and not using a lot the phone. Some WhatsApp’s for working , around 4-5 calls 1 -4’ a rasgue duration. Even closing apps to try extend the charge and it’s now 2:22pm and I have 28% charge only? Come on this is a premium smartphone. Something is not working and apple should refix this issue.

Any other place where we can claim to apple for a solution, 1300€ phone and the battery does not survive at least 1 day in a normal use?

I know it's very frustrating that you have bought a new phone and facing the drainage issue, let me assure you these are very premium devices and its very less likely that we can blame apple for this, however the drainage depends on how you use your iPhone and which power consuming apps, settings are enabled on your phone. While I researched on this issue online and found that there can be various things you should do in order to reduce the drainage, these include, turning off background refresh for certain apps, turning off location services if you are not using it, and force restarting. There are many more other tweaks as well. I can suggest you this guide gave it a read and apply the fixes if this could help: 7 Proven Steps to fix iPhone 15 Pro Battery Drain Issue

I got my iphone 15 Pro yesterday and today spent the day out. From 11-5 and battery was almost dead when I got home (battery on 96% when I left home). I am NOT HAPPY AT ALL. Will be going back to my cellular provider on Monday. I had an 11 before and had it for 3 years. I was ready for a new phone because that battery wouldn't stay charged. The 15 Pro battery life is worse than my 3 year old 11!!! Hoping my carrier will have some answer on Monday.

My children got iphone 15's a week ago (not the Pro) and their batteries are lasting 18 hours.

My wife has a severe battery collapse problem : iOS 17 iPhone 15 pro max. She gave me her 14 pro max, we leave at the same time with 100%. Two hours later 15 is at 31% and 14 is at 96%. Battery health says 100% peak performance. This is catastrophic. iPhone 15 pro max is in battery saving mode, all apps quit, bt and WiFi off and gps off. Battery % just keeps going down. Tried tuning iPhone off and on, no go. Also the always on display is off, and reduce motion is on. It’s on low framerate. Memory is mostly free. Big problem.

Same thing. My new iPhone 15 pro max is losing about 10% battery per hour with all apps shut.

Same here. I stupidly traded in my 13 pro max for 15 pro and ever since the issues have been surfacing up with the battery being the most one. The battery cannot survive a day. I am constantly charging it. What a terrible mistake I made! Not happy at all with 15 pro.

I have the same issue. My iPhone 12 did not drain as fast as my new «flagship» iphone 15 pro. The drainage is crazy aprox 1% pr minute with or without the always on, on or off.

It should come i update/fix fast from Apple. This is crazy i havent experienced anything like this.

Just bought my iPhone 15 proI charged my phone the entire night went out in the am and 2:28 phone is dead have to call plugs, external batteries or car chargers. Cause I got stuck without a phone or a charge now 4 times and. I no way to call an Uber or get to my car or walk as I'm not sure ever to go. Too much money and my iPhone 12 was better.

Same as. I have upgraded from a 1st gen SE (yes 8 years old) whilst the 15 pro is faster the battery life is abysmal. For a 'flagship device' I think Apple have ripped us all off big time. Why not make the phone 2mm thicker and give us decent capacity? Leaving the phone unused seems to be the only way to get through an average day's use. It is rediculous to have to charge again mid afternoon! I purchased from Istore (where returns are only accepted in 'pristine unopened packaging' and then with a 20% forfeit (otherwise Apple would be getting the phone back to doubtlessly resell) I have been through ALL settings to optomise to highest efficiency possible. Even turned on Low power mode now. Apart from this power travisty I have found it buggy with issues such as dropped calls (with perfect reception) Front facing camera not working for FaceTime sometimes only fix I found was a phone reset. Also phone switching to Mobile data when wifi signal is perfect. All stuff I have NEVER seen before. Not sure Apple have a successful product here. The 14 didn't get best reception. Why not go for a two year release cycle and do the right thing for us (the customer) instead of pandering to commercial interests alone. Cynical opinion but I have to say as I find (AND READ!)

You can clearly see from this that there is an issue with the battery. A 16min call should not drain almost 10% battery. In addition to this the phone was heating up like mad…

unfortunately strongly considering a return until the issue is fixed by Apple…

lol for a new phone with 100% capacity batterie and less than 5 cycles hope you are joking ! Hoping that apples tech will soon publish an update fixing the system accessing permanently at the location

@mcivera did the iOS update actually fix the battery drain for you or you are just telling us what the Apple advisor said? Because those people would say anything to please you and get you out of the store (unless you want to buy something).

Troubleshooting a Draining iPhone Battery:

Unfortunately, there is no way to determine why, nor when, the Battery Health decreased. Apple recommends you get a new battery, when the Battery Health reaches 80% or less. So, who is the seller? If not Apple, then request a return. If Apple, then ask them if they will replace it, free-of-charge.

It's Time for a New Battery:

Your iPhone battery has degraded, and it is overheating, as a result. Applerecommends you get a new battery when the Battery Health reaches 80% or lower.

Where to get a New Battery:

Getting a New iPhone Battery:

Contact Apple, and setup a Genius Bar Appointment or see an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) in your local area. Be wary as to where you get this item, ask you may get an error of an ungenuine battery. So, to avoid this continual message, it is best to have an Apple or an AASP replace the battery. So, where to get a new battery:

A. Apple Contact Info:

• Contact Us - Choose Locations
• Proceed from there, as necessary
• Why the Wait: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)

They did some testing and told me that there isn’t any issue with the phone or battery. They suggested to do factory reset but that also dint fix the issue. They said they can’t do anything about it
