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?

For me I switched to 4G and now everything seem normal and battery lasts much longer than 14 pro max.

It's 5G fault / issue.

Now I can run the 15 pro max all at full tilt : gps, screen bright, background apps, motion sensors, camera, full of apps, wifi, bluetooth, all ON.


The 5G option made it both hot and battery drain.

even "battery save" mode was doing nothing.


No probem in 4G.


Also I notice that when any smartphone is in an area with very poor cell network it drains the battery faster (all brands/models)

Here is what I did to improve slightly the power consumption :

  • avoid météo (that uses localisation services) widget on lock screen
  • turn off always on display
  • shut off background actualisation off apps
  • limit localisation services to the minimum
  • instagram closed after use (app is not optimized for iOS 17)

i have noticed an improvement here it is noon and still have 93% usually with the above on I had about 70%
