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?

Hey guys! Got my iPhone 15 Pro also 3 days ago and very upset with the battery capacity.

fullu charged at 7am when I wake up and not using a lot the phone. Some WhatsApp’s for working , around 4-5 calls 1 -4’ a rasgue duration. Even closing apps to try extend the charge and it’s now 2:22pm and I have 28% charge only? Come on this is a premium smartphone. Something is not working and apple should refix this issue.

Any other place where we can claim to apple for a solution, 1300€ phone and the battery does not survive at least 1 day in a normal use?

I got my iphone 15 pro since launch. Battery after 1,5-2h SOT got 20% left. I took it to service and they replaced battery, motherboard and camera. After repair i still have this issue. Whats more interesting now its showing me on battery usage graph thats my inactive screen time is like 21-22h per day… what is wrong with this phone…

Whatever it is, memory leak, vulnerability or anything, I hope the SW will not regress with future changes.

And I wonder what made it specific to the 15Pro/ProMax and also not to all phones.


Just for exemplification, the first picture is how my battery depleted during the day:



In the 2nd picture, you can see the the day of the 17.4 update, performed around 9AM. Then see how the battery evolves over the course of the day.

Supposedly the latest update is the cause of this since iPhone 11 and on have the same issue. It is not a of background running or anything else issue as many many people have followed instructions to lower battery consumption and still all over blogs and forums the same is happening. If you look up the question on internet IOS 17.4 is the cause of all this, hope they fix this fast because Android is looking mighty fine right now 😒

I’m having the same issue and it’s ridiculous. I remember when I got the iPhone 13 the day it came out, my battery lasted 2 whole days before I had to charge it. Only took about 30 minutes to fully charge. I traded it in with 84% battery capacity, but it was still working great. Now with the iPhone 15 Pro, the battery life doesn’t last half a day and it takes about an hour to charge.

also having this same problem, been using the phone for two days, have gone through today and disabled always on screen, disabled background refresh etc. which I’m hoping will help. I’ve been getting battery life comparable to my iPhone 12 with 65% battery health, I just want my phone to last the day, is there any word about Apple updating their software or is this a hardware issue, will a new iPhone 14 be better for battery life? I feel like I’ve never had this problem with a brand new iPhone before.
