iPhone 14 Pro battery draining quickly

Anyone else having issue with the battery health for iPhone 14 pro, especially after the latest iOS (17) update? If so, has anyone find any solutions to this?

In the past few weeks it went from 100% to 95% in the blink of an eye and I haven't changed anything in my usage or the apps I usually use. The phone is 10 months old, I feel it is just too new for the battery to be degrading like this. I always knew that Apple devices have these issues with the battery, but it just starts to be worse and worse with every device they release...

Unfortunately Apple Support has been totally useless, telling me essentially to stop using certain features (like "Always on display") or reset the phone and manually set it up. All of this while still being in warranty and paying for the extra warranty on top of this. Super disappointed in the solutions and the support received.

Mine the same, I bought this iPhone 14 at the end of October, after I’ve done the update to ios 17 the health battery down every two weeks and now is at 96% I’ve talk with genius bar in an Apple Store and they said to me everything is ok , is tik tok the problem, I don’t believe that I don’t think tik tok ruined the battery life, me and mu partner we bought the same phone at the same time and she still have 100% of battery life, very strange

The Battery health of my iPhone X which is almost 7 Years old shows 79% whereas as my iPhone14 Pro which is hardly 10 Months old shows 89%. Apple Executive claim that this is normal and calculate based on some battery cycles. Whereas as user I can feel the software and hardware issue in new phones which Apple does not want to accept. Google and you will find practically everyone complaining about the same problem.

I’m having the same exact issue and Apple support have told me the same. They said the battery going down 40% is normal for 1 and a half hours screen time when it isn’t normal. The phone won’t even last me the full day and it’s cost me nearly £1.7k with apple care. They won’t help me at all, they won’t replace the battery even though the battery has gone to 90% battery health in only 10 months.

Battery is draining big time. When I first got the iPhone 14 Pro, a full charge would last all day, now i'm lucky to get 1/2 a day use before needing a charge. In addition, since I also have a work phone which is a iPhone SE and works Great, very rarely do I have to use the 14 Pro for anything other than staying on, taking a photo or two, some texting and minor usage apps. Very expensive phone for the use it gets and the battery is really very poor at best.

My iPhone 14 Pro Max’s battery health was at 96% in October 2023, 94% in November 2023, 92% in December 2023. Then 90% in January 2024 and now at 88% in February 2024.

What is going on Apple when I use it the same as my older iPhone 11 Pro Max which is from years ago now?

That phone, which is still in my family, stands at 90% on its Battery Health??

Why is the 14 Pro Max’ battery so much worse than the 11 Pro Max?

I think Apple needs to do a recall for us all and swap the batteries for free. These are not inexpensive phones at the end of the day. Apple’s Flag Ship phone clearly had a defective battery.

I’ve said on another post that I’ve been losing 2% a months since I purchased this phone with one user before me. October 84%, Nov 86%, Dec 88%, Jan 90%, Feb 87 dropped 3%!

its charged correctly, never empty and never full on a cable. No magsafe charging and no always on display. I don’t let it get hot or cold. My iPhone 11 which is significantly older is at 90% battery health.

What is going on Apple and can I get my battery swapped please? Even if we go 50:50 on the £95 cost of doing that.

Thanks Gray

Just checked again since first posting. Got the phone 14 Pro 1Tb in November 2022 and just checked and it’s at 84% with “heavy” usage would be maybe 2 hours active on the phone (texts/calls) off charger and most other activities on my Series 8 watch (which still gets close to 2 days on single charge and purchased at the same time as the phone).


all tweaks and battery charging optimizations active at all times since setting them up while sitting at the counter waiting on the service to activate

I am so mad that I did this but if have been on this conversation for months. I finally decided I could not deal with running out of battery power ALL THE TIME. I ride my bike out in the country and then look down and see I have no battery power if I have an emergency. I was down to 87 percent but out of power at noon. Carrying spare battery etc. I finally just traded in for iPhone 15 ProMax. I hate to reward Apple for making a lousy battery but I did it. I like the "charge to 80%" feature in the 15. I started with 80% this morning and I am at 66% now after being out and about all morning. I hate that I threw money at the problem but I am glad for the battery.

My iPhone 14 Pro Max is 1 year and 3 months old. In December (so 3 months ago) battery started to drop from 97% to 96….and today to 92%. I haven’t been using it any differently.


I really don’t get. Other people and Apple suggest to “update your phone” but people here complain that it drains even faster now after iOS 17.


My one year limited warranty is no longer active. Why is Apple not starting a battery replacement for all since the issue really seems to be with the iPhones battery and not the user.

This is happened to me as well. iPhone 14 Pro battery was about 93% within 10 months of purchase and just over a year and its dropped to 85%. My wife has an iPhone 13 and her phone after 2.5 years is 87%. Fail to understand the sudden drop. I have background refresh off entirely. This phone was supposed to be a power house, instead am regretting the decision to upgrade to 14 pro now. You pay a premium for the pro only to have more battery power and this is what happens. Wonder if there is a solution. Current OS 17.4.1.
