iPhone 15 Pro Battery Drain Issue

I bought my Iphone 15 pro max directly from Apple.

It drains battery like ****!

The battery was 88% at around 2300hrs before going to bed.

By the time I woke up, the phone was dead!

This continue on a daily basis to the extent that I have to buy power bank and take it with me when going out/travelling all the time.

I have deleted almost everything and disabled almost everything that I thought might be draining the battery but no changes.

Can I return the phone back to Apple.

I spoke to the customer service advisor today regarding the battery draining issue.

He took me through all the settings, at the end, the phone was restored to the factory setting like new phone.

I charged it fully thereafter, without using it, it’s now 61%.

The time I spent with them was a waste of time. No effects, nothing changes!

There is no software update of setting change that is going to fix this battery drain issue! Let’s face it we have been had! You can attach a bulky battery pack that’s about it! Perhaps that was the purpose of using inferior than usual iPhone batteries to promote battery pack sales!

Same problem. Traded my 14 pro which had excellent battery life for the 15 pro which can’t hold a 100% charge for more than 6-8 hours with little to no usage. Ever since the last iOS update. Should have kept the 14pro. Very unhappy

It’s evident updates and setting changes will not fix this drainage problem! With so many customers with this drainage problem, Apple would have already fixed it! If Apple don’t make it right to all who have battery drain issues with the Pro max 15, maybe we should consider a new Samsung Android for future purchases!

I didn’t buy this phone to turn off certain features. That’s a ridiculous solution. My 14 ProMax had amazing battery life and I barely turned anything off except for some background app refreshing.

I feel this drain issue will not be fixed. They touted better battery which was false. An inferior battery was put into this phone and it will not be addressed. Just have to suck it up and wait for new phones.

Brand new iPhone 15 pro as of October. Anyone else having this horrible battery draining issues? This is beyond ridiculous!! I’ve turned off all the features suggested to save battery which I shouldn’t have to do in the first place. The whole reason I got a new phone was to have a longer lasting battery! Anyone know if they are coming out with a fix? It’s lasting for 5 hours max and I am stressed everytime I use it bc it just drains!!!

Yes, about 3,000 15 pro users have expressed frustrations over the short battery life of the pro 15! I’m betting there are many more who has the problem who has not posted! I’m sure Apple is aware of the problem, how deep it runs and if it can be fixed or not! My fear is the drain problem cannot be fixed without installing a better quality battery!

If the pro 15 battery drain issue is bad batteries that was manufactured in October 2023, Apple should send all people with those phones a new phone and let them send their old phone with the bad battery back to Apple for replenishing! Only fair knowing the cost of Apple iPhones!

I’m having battery drain issue as well and have returned to Verizon where I bought it only to be lectured about how to use my battery correctly which I was doing. I contacted apple support who told me my analysis of phone showed no “hardware” malfunction. They had no answers and are acting like nothing is wrong with my phone. It seems like a big cover up that there is a problem vs admitting there is one and working to fix it.

Problem fixed for now! I don’t know what change did it! I made several settings changes, including changing my lock screen wallpaper, apple update, etc? I used about 40% since a 24 hour period, and oh yes, my battery was manufactured in October 2023!

Hi Everyone - i am dealing with the same issue (10% battery drainage an hour, brand new iphone 15, normal usage of the phone). I have a solution. please reach out to me at ****

Hi everyone. I’ve recently bought a 15 pro max and the battery life in the beginning was great but just a month down the lane it has started to drain very quickly and the phone battery goes from 100% to 20% in 12-14 hours.

What to do?

Why is it that folks like Marques, reviewing IPhone 15 pro, did not find this issue? Is there a way we could get their attention on this so it gets broadcasted? I feel I was misled by these reviewers not talking about battery drain. My iPhone13 pro is still a lot better at battery drain.

To answer your question, if anyone has a connection with a CNN correspondent, send them the discussion link and give a summary of the problem! If the story is aired on CNN WORLD WIDE, you can bet Apple will pay attention!
