Battery draining fast on iPhone 15 Pro

Second day with the phone and had to charge it twice today and it’s back down to 19% after normal use…No apps running on background or extended use, battery health at 100% 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

When you first activate it or do an iOS update, the iPhone always tend to drain the battery faster and this is due to the background process iOS does to optimize, including, but not limited to, syncing with iCloud, re-indexing your file system, photos, etc. (for faster search). This is normal and usually ends quickly, depending on the amount of data you have - the more data, the longer it takes.

I recently upgraded from 11 Pro to 15 Pro and I’m shocked about the battery life. I barely can get through a day even though I’m rarely using it… With my 11 Pro I could even get trough nearly 2 days. I already changed a lot of settings (background refresh, no always-on display etc) but my battery still drains like crazy. I’m so disappointed 😔

I purchased a new iPhone 15 Pro yesterday, 3/30/24, and loaded it with 1 terabyte. This is my 5th iPhone and I have set all my battery saving settings and cleared off most of my notifications, yet the phone’s battery drains to less than 20% in about 12 hours.


This seems to be a common problem for this model. Is the model a lemon or has anyone been able to find a solution?

Yeah is that so ? :(

if someone is not using the phone at all.

Mobile data is turned off, Wi-Fi is turned off.

no application running in the background, the phone is in idle state. Location service are turned off, Bluetooth is turned off.

but still the battery drains quickly. You mean to say someone has spent 1200$ just to keep the phone in idle state.

why would someone spend this much on an iphone,

they can buy a basic Nokia phone

that’s far better than iPhone 15 pro


apple should better fix this or refund the money

if it can’t it

Mine started the first day I got it and has been getting worse. I have done everything possible o help my battery life. I had the 13 pro and never had this issue. Nothing has changed on my end just the change from the 13 pro to the 15 pro and wish I never changed. Worse iPhone ever especially for the money they charge and the fact you have to pay extra for plug and wires!

They’re not recognizing it officially! I contacted them and the lady was very nice but didn’t know why! She had me turn my automatic brightness off but it still is draining like crazy. I will probably end up switching to the iPhone 14 Pro even though I just got this phone like a week and a half ago! I have never ever had this problem with any of my older phones!
