iPhone 15 Pro Battery Drain Issue

I have bought iPhone 15 pro recently. The expectation is battery should be efficient, but is performing poor than iPhone 11. Especially Findmy app is used all night. The battery went down from 55% to 32%. Please help me to fix this?

im seriously in same boat, i still have my iphone 14 pro max ready for trade in ive compared them both and my iphone 14 pro max.. the 14 pro max last longer *with same IOS 17 and has about 29,000 pictures and videos.. ... from 100% to 85% in 2 hours at this rate, u wont even be able to use the phone normally as it will die out if you're out with no charger! im having second thought returning my iphone 15 pro max but with accessories i purchased, mag safe case, mag safe charger, couple of tempered glass, usc-c cables.. such a hassle returning those too.. i seriously hope theres a fix through software update soon so i dont have to resort to this.. for first time since 13 years ago since i purchased my iphone 4s i never experience battery drain like this! very disappointed with this years iphone 15 pro max

Im Not sure what’s up with you’re phones but my 15 Pro Max will last just as long or longer than my old phone. Which was the XS Max. I’m sure whatever is wrong apple is going to have a fix soon. Just based on all of this stuff people are saying with their iPhones running warmer than normal. That says right there that more power is being used than normal. So I’m sure once they fix that, this issue will go away. Personally I’m not having one. Everything has been great with my iPhone except the Uber Driver app constantly glitching but that’s on Uber not apple.

Well, I just updated to iOS 17.0.3 and my iPhone 15 Pro 512gb natural titanium is still as warm as ever and the battery has still dropped 15% in one hour …


I talked to someone who works for Apple and they said it’s not gonna get any better that they had better venting and heat dissipation for the 14 pro with the stainless steel and that the A17Pro Chip gets too hot …and titanium doesn’t allow it to disperse. I don’t think any software update is going to make this work. and when you have a hot chip, you’ll have a battery that drains extra fast.

i’m going to further test it tomorrow on Thursday and see how it goes — and then I’m taking it back Friday (within the first 14 days) and getting all my money back. I’m glad I kept my 11 Pro. I would suggest everybody to do this as Friday is your last day to get your money back since it was the first day you could pick it up in the store


this is by all means a massive hardware design defect and there’s no remedying it. I don’t know what Apple‘s gonna do with this one. The only way they can stop it from getting hot is the throttle that A17 chip and the expert I talk to said that’s not even gonna help much. Some units are fine some aren’t. I’m not gonna gamble my $1500 on it again.

Mine is iPhone 15 pro max and it is the same way. 11 lasted way longer and I thought it was bad but this brand new phone takes the cake for terrible battery life. I also have a very hard time holding it as it hurts my hands. I have also been dropping calls. I don’t know if that is the phone or something else? The phone seems to get very hot easily. I should have kept my old one and got a new battery
