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% 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I know people have a lot of complaints regarding battery draining, but here is a thing, there are alot of features that are turned on which you wont notice but they keep running in background and causes battery drainage. These can include location services, tracking apps, incase there are many more. I will suggest you to read this guide: 7 Proven Steps to fix iPhone 15 Pro Battery Drain Issue, and apply tweaks mentioned here. I hope this will reduce battery drainage.

my iPhone 15 pro max barely goes down when using it. However, when I’m not using it & no apps are open & background app refresh is off within a minute or two approximately 1-2% drops extremely quickly literally within approximately 1-2 minutes. But when I’m using it, it rarely drops in charge which is what’s weird lol. Anyone else have that same issue? Where it uses more battery not using it? By the way I have the always on screen off, location services off, background app refresh off, Bluetooth off, etc.

I’m having the same issue!

I only bought a new phone because my previous 11 pro was dying by 1-2pm and now my brand new, 3 day old iphone 15 pro is dying by NOON! My husband has the 14 pro max and his lasts literally 2 days. He wakes up at 5am, blasts youtube videos, plays phone games, uses instagram etc and by bed time it’s about half battery. So why is the 15 draining SO quickly?!?!?! I did turn off the always-on lock screen option, but didn’t seem to help much. I am not home all day to stay glued to a charger, nor is this what I expect for $1200.

My phone is quite new. Been using it for a few days and the after 5mins of using the battery loses 1-2%. Which is crazy as the reason why I bought this phone is because of the longer battery life than my iPhone 12pro, but now, using them both feels like I have both issues with my phone. OMG! DID I WASTE MY MONEY ON THIS!!?????? APPLE!!! If this does not improve I will surely go back and have this changed!!!!!

Even I experienced the same issue. I received my iPhone 15 pro on 23rd September. My battery was draining too fast. I reported the issue and while I was sharing the screen with the Apple senior advisor, even he noticed that the phone’s battery drained by 12% in 20 minutes. Anyways, they could not find the problem and were still investigating, I returned the phone and bought similar one. I hope this phone’s battery is better.
