iPhone 15 Pro Battery Drain Issue

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

I have also the iPhone 15 Pro but no battery issues. Currently with average usage mine lasts for 1.5 days.

However to keep in mind / some recommendations:

• after setting up a new iPhone always requires a few days to synchronize and install everything. So that could cause higher battery drain than usually. For example the first few days may consume a lot of battery to sync photos.
• in the battery app check which apps need most battery: if there is one specific app that seems to drain the battery, one recommendation is to delete the app (after data backup / or data saved in iCloud) and install it again to ensure you have the very last version.
• ensure you have the latest iOS update installed.

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.

I also bought iPhone 15pro last week, suddenly I felt that the battery started draining rapidly and my phone could not last at least a day.

Apple should take an appropriate action ASAP.

It isn’t fixed. I got the iphone15 pro max 2 days ago and the battery drain is shocking.

My impression is that nothing is fixed with the iOS 17.2.1. On the contrary, the poor battery performance turned out to be even poorer after the installation of the latest iOS.

Two screenshots below with my battery performance within 10 days:

1) iPhone 15 Pro, battery health 100 %

2) iPhone 13, battery health 100 %

The red square in both screenshots marks the performance after the installation of iOS 17.2.1.

Picture 1 (iPhone 15 Pro): If you look at Saturday last week and especially Tuesday before the update: Both days I had an activity of 7-8 hours. Saturday the battery used less than 50 percent in 7 hours. Tuesday it used around 60 percent within eight hours.

Monday this week and Saturday after the update I had an activity of around three hours and it consumed the same amount of battery as on Saturday before the update (with a usage of more than seven hours). This is horrible numbers for a new phone which is supposed to be a premium version of the 15 series.

Picture 2 (iPhone 13): Compare the battery usage of the iPhone 13 to the usage of iPhone 15 Pro and you will see it performs a lot better. But also here after updating 17.2.1 the performance has been impacted negatively, but not as radical as on the 15 Pro.

I am very tired of this. iOS 17 and iPhone 15 have been out for three months now - and nothing changes for the better. Frankly, the 15 Pro is the worst phone I have had when it comes to battery performance.

I slowed my battery drainage down considerably by turn off Bluetooth, selection the shortest duration of screen awake, not letting apps run in the background, changing wallpaper f and much more! I used 50% in 12 hours, it was much worse before I changed the settings! We should not have to change all the settings to prevent battery drainage! Apple needs to come up with a resolution for this equipment flaw with little to no wear and tear on the buyer. Send another new 15 pro and the customer can factory reset the old one and return after transferring data and settings to the new phone!

Battery usage last night, while in Sleep Focus Mode active and:

• Location services OFF
• Background app refresh OFF
• BT off
• FindMy OFF
• All apps closed
• Phone rebooted.

I also disabled the WiFi but in the morning it was ON again, by itself. :/

But anyway, I see FindMy again on the list even though it was turned of and in the morning I checked it was off.

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%

i got my 15 pro on 9 December and the battery is trash, i updated to 17.2 and its somehow worse 😭😭

Wow they have removed my posts regarding this issue saying that “We’ve removed your post iPhone 15 Pro Battery Drain Issue because it contained either feedback or a feature request that was not constructive.”

Tbh I regret changing to iPhone 15 pro.

I was using 13 pro before now and the battery life even at 83% battery capacity was much more better than the new 15 pro at 100% battery capacity. That’s terrible!

The new15 pro drains faster

I have had iphones since 2009 and this iphone 15 Pro Max is the last I will buy.

I am done with Apple batteries. This phone at this cost is a piece of junk.

I use it and my wife and daughter and we buy new every year of release.- we are going to Samsung in September.

Yeah same here. Recently pushed the 15 pro max and I’m so disappointed with the battery drainage. This is a premium phone with a premium price tag and there is clearly something wrong with these new devices or the battery. My 13 pro max seems to last longer, I’m seriously considering returning for a full refund. Has anyone else had much like with improvements to battery? I’ve literally done everything, turn off background pp refresh, reduced screen brightness, switched off Bluetooth and WiFi when not using. I noticed when I was on a video which last 25 minutes it reduced battery by nearly 20%. That doesn’t seem right at all!

i did update to 17.3.1

1. it's good that battery no longer reduces 1% every hour when not in use
2. but still drains so fast when in use, like reduces 1% every 4 to 5 minutes (fb, messenger). before was like reducing 1% every 5-7 minutes when in use

Who else has upgraded to 17.3.1, any feedback and suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you so much
