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?

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.

I bought iPhone 15 Pro on September 2023 and ever since I have noted that.

  1. My Battery Drains Faster.
  2. battery cycle count 90
  3. Battery Health showing 96%


Please note that I have only used the iPhone for less than Three months (3 Months Only Usage).


please assist with this matter, because I believe I have been a user of your products for the past Decade and Half.

I recently came from android to Apple, I got a iPhone 15 pro and the battery life on this thing is concerning, I leave the house at 7 for school everyday and it’s barely making it home, the only thing it’s running is music and all other apps are closed, it’s only 10:30 and my phones already at 53%. Apple, fix this please no modern phone should be dying this fast

I purchased iphone 15 pro last Sunday and after that I got update immediately to 17.3 and yesterday again got new update 17.3.1....I have been struggling with battery and with normal use also I have to charge my phone before 12 hours


Chat support people says this is normal after any updates so need to wait for 72 hours ...my question is simple why this background sync not showing up in battery health


Any app or any activity I do on iphone 15 pro it start draining battery and even if I don't use at all still dropping by 1 percentage every hour automatically


I am not somebody who use social media so much and still not clicked more than 10 photos in last one week


Really sad that apple is producing such kind of products 😞

Scrolled to the end to see if there's any hope - but there's not. I am completely done with apple. I traded in my iphone 12 pro, which was great except its battery had gotten down to 80% health and wouldn't hold a charge for a day, and would randomly die. I still had it with tmobile 360 protection plan and could have just had it replaced with probably a refurbished model with a new battery, and I should have.


Instead I "upgraded" my plan to something more expensive to get their deal on the newest iphone 15 pro. Its battery was worse than the iphone 12 pro I had out of the box. Said it had 100% health but couldn't stay charged for 7 hours under light use.


I was furious and sent it back and got the galaxy s24 instead. There are things I dislike about it, yes. Its speech to text is not great. But I'll get used to these issues and at least it stays charged. I will not buy apple stuff anymore. They're lazy AF with this garbage phone.
