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 just got my iphone 15 pro max on Friday. Today is Monday and the battery drains like crazy. All I have done today is make a 10 min phone call, and use Instagram for 15 mins and my battery went from 80 to 68. This has never happened with any of my older iphones

I deleted Facebook and Instagram before upgrading and transferring data to my new iPhone 15 Pro. Battery is going great for me so far. I use my phone quite a lot and I can still babe 80-90% at the end of the day still. The rest of my battery is used to deliver with Uber eats and I still have 50-60% to listen to music before bed.



For the people who have battery drain issues, do you have social media apps on your phones?

I do have social media apps, but I just looked and the few that I have used today have only taken up less than 15% of my battery usage. I’m already passed the 72 hour mark of having this phone and the battery life isn’t getting any better. I’ve already been on the phone with tech-support, and they have looked through all of my settings and everything looks like it should be correct. I’m wondering if I should try a new phone by returning this one. Also has anybody had the black screen of death? I had that within 24 hours of activating the phone

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.

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.
